About this event
If you’ve been meaning to move beyond AI demos and actually build something yourself, this is the room you want to be in. AI Builders Weekend: Build an AI Agent From Scratch Using Python is a hands-on, in-person meetup for people who want to understand how AI agents work by creating one step by step. You won’t just hear theory or watch slides. You’ll spend the evening around other builders, breaking down the parts of an agent, writing Python, and seeing how autonomous systems come together in practice. About the Event This event is built for people who learn best by making. The focus is simple: start with the core ideas behind AI agents and work toward a working foundation you can understand, extend, and keep building after the meetup ends. Rather than treating AI as a black box, the session is designed to make the process more concrete. You’ll explore what gives an agent its behavior, how Python fits into the workflow, and how different components connect to create something that can take actions with a degree of autonomy. Because this is an in-person gathering, the format also emphasizes community. That means space for conversation, problem-solving, and meeting other people who are actively experimenting with AI, autonomy, and developer tools. Whether you come mainly to build, to learn, or to meet peers working in the same space, the event is structured to be practical first. The goal is that you leave with clearer mental models, real implementation experience, and stronger momentum than you had before you walked in. What to Expect Expect a builder-focused session that balances explanation with action. The evening is centered on creating an AI agent from scratch using Python, so the flow is likely to move from concepts into implementation and then into iteration, testing, and discussion. Here’s the kind of experience this meetup is designed to deliver: A clear framing of AI agents: what they are, how they differ from simple prompts or scripts, and why autonomy matters A practical build path: breaking the project into manageable parts instead of treating the system as one giant abstraction Python-based implementation: working through the logic and structure needed to get an agent running Peer interaction: asking questions, comparing approaches, and learning from how other attendees think about the same problem Networking with other builders: connecting with people interested in AI, developer workflows, and real-world experimentation You should expect a meetup atmosphere rather than a formal conference setup. That usually means the room will reward curiosity: ask questions, talk through roadblocks, and share what you’re exploring. If you’ve ever learned more from one sharp conversation than from hours of passive content, this format will feel useful. There’s also value in seeing how other people approach the same build. Even when everyone starts from the same theme, the interesting part is often the variation: how people structure prompts, organize code, think about agent behavior, or decide what “from scratch” should actually include. Why Attend The strongest reason to attend is practical confidence. A lot of people are interested in AI agents, but far fewer have taken the time to build one themselves. This meetup helps close that gap by giving you a concrete starting point and a clearer sense of what’s actually involved. You’ll also gain context that’s hard to get from isolated tutorials. Building in a room with other people surfaces better questions: what matters most in an agent architecture, what can be kept simple, what tends to break first, and what tradeoffs show up once you stop talking about agents in the abstract. Attending can be especially valuable if you want to: turn curiosity about AI agents into real implementation experience strengthen your Python-based building skills in an applied setting meet others who care about AI, autonomy, and hands-on experimentation learn faster through discussion, comparison, and live problem-solving leave with ideas you can continue developing after the event There’s also the motivation factor. Working alone can slow things down; working around other builders often creates momentum. Being in a room where people are actively making things can help you move from “I should try this sometime” to “I’ve started, and now I know what to do next.” Practical Details Location type: In person Date: Sunday, June 14 Time: 5:30 PM GMT+5:30 This is an in-person meetup, so plan for a more interactive experience than a passive online session. You’ll be able to engage directly with the material and with the people around you, which is especially useful for a technical topic like building AI agents. The Sunday evening timing makes this a good fit for people who want focused builder time at the end of the weekend. It’s a strong way to reset your momentum, especially if you’ve been meaning to spend more time on practical AI work but haven’t carved out the space. If this topic is already on your radar, don’t wait until you feel perfectly prepared. This event is for people who want to learn by doing, ask better questions, and spend time with others who are serious about building. If that sounds like you, this meetup will feel worth showing up for.
Who should attend
This is for people who want to learn AI by building, not just reading about it. - You’ve been curious about **AI agents** and want a concrete, from-the-ground-up introduction instead of another high-level overview. - You’re comfortable with or actively learning **Python** and want to apply it to a practical AI project. - You like **hands-on meetups** where you can ask questions, compare approaches, and learn alongside other builders in the room. - You’re a developer, student, tinkerer, or independent maker looking to better understand **autonomy, agent logic, and implementation workflows**. - You’ve tried tutorials before but want a more grounded experience that helps you connect concepts to actual code. - You value **community and networking** and want to meet other people seriously exploring AI tools, systems, and experiments. If you want to leave with a clearer understanding of how an AI agent is put together and more momentum to keep building after the event, you’ll likely feel at home here.
