About this event
If you’ve been curious about voice agents and want to learn by actually making one, this is the room to be in. Build TogetHER - let's build a voice agent is an in-person, hands-on meetup designed for people who would rather open a laptop, test ideas, and learn together than sit through another abstract talk. This event combines the energy of a community meetup with the focus of a build session. You’ll meet other people interested in AI, work through the moving parts of a voice agent, and leave with a much clearer sense of what it takes to go from idea to working prototype. What Is This? This is a build-together meetup centered on creating a voice agent in a collaborative, approachable setting. The goal is not to impress people with jargon or make the topic feel exclusive. The goal is to make voice AI feel practical, understandable, and buildable. Because this is an in-person community event, the format is likely to feel more interactive than a traditional presentation. Expect a mix of framing, live building, discussion, and informal problem-solving with people around you. That means you can learn by watching, asking questions, and trying things in real time. The title matters here: Build TogetHER suggests a space that values participation, support, and momentum over perfection. Whether you come with experience or just strong curiosity, the event is built around the idea that people learn faster when they can build alongside others. What to Expect Expect a session that moves from concept to implementation in a clear, practical way. Rather than staying at the level of theory, the focus is on the actual components and decisions involved in building a voice agent: how it behaves, how users interact with it, and what makes the experience useful instead of gimmicky. You can expect a flow that includes: A quick grounding in the goal: what you’re building and why voice agents are worth understanding right now A collaborative build session: working through the structure of a voice agent step by step Discussion and troubleshooting: comparing approaches, asking questions, and learning from what works and what breaks Community connection: time to meet other builders, AI-curious attendees, and people exploring similar ideas Because the event is tagged with community, networking, and meetup, the value is not limited to the build itself. You’ll likely have chances to talk with people about how they’re thinking about AI, what they’re working on, and where voice interfaces could fit into real products, experiments, or side projects. This also makes the event a good fit for people at different levels. If you’re more technical, you can get into implementation details and compare notes with others. If you’re earlier in your journey, you can still follow the process, understand the logic behind the build, and leave with a roadmap for what to explore next. Why Attend Voice interfaces are becoming a more important part of how people interact with software, but many people still haven’t had the chance to see how a voice agent comes together in practice. This meetup gives you a concrete way to close that gap. Instead of reading scattered posts or watching tutorials alone, you’ll learn in a room full of people working through the same challenge. You should attend if you want to turn AI interest into something more tangible. A build-focused event helps you move beyond surface-level familiarity and into real understanding: what decisions matter, what tradeoffs show up early, and how to think about user experience when the interface is spoken rather than typed. A few strong reasons to come: You’ll learn by doing rather than just listening You’ll get exposure to voice-agent thinking in a practical, accessible format You’ll meet other people building in AI and expand your local network You’ll leave with clearer next steps for your own experiments, projects, or learning path There’s also real value in being in the room. In-person events create space for the small conversations that often matter most: the quick question after a demo, the shared debugging moment, the introduction that leads to a future collaboration. If you’re looking for both skill-building and genuine community, this format delivers both. Practical Details This is an in-person event, which makes it especially well suited to collaborative building, live discussion, and networking. If you learn best when you can engage directly with the people around you, ask questions on the spot, and stay focused away from your usual routine, that setting will be a major advantage. The event takes place on Wednesday, August 27 at 9:00 AM PDT. Since it starts in the morning, plan your schedule so you can arrive ready to settle in, connect with others, and fully participate from the start. A few useful expectations to keep in mind: This is a meetup, not just a lecture The emphasis is on building together, so come ready to engage Networking is part of the experience, not an afterthought Curiosity is enough to belong here; you do not need to be the most advanced person in the room If voice AI has been on your list to explore, this is a strong way to do it: with structure, with community, and with a concrete project at the center of the experience.
Who should attend
This is for you if you want a practical, social way to explore AI and would rather learn through building than passively watching. - You’re **curious about voice agents** and want to understand how they work in a hands-on, concrete way. - You’re **building in AI already** and want to exchange ideas, compare approaches, and meet others working in the space. - You’ve been **looking for a more approachable entry point** into voice interfaces and want a collaborative environment instead of learning alone. - You enjoy **community-driven meetups** where conversation, experimentation, and networking are part of the value. - You have a project, prototype, or early idea in mind and want **inspiration for how voice could fit into real use cases**. - You want to spend time with people who are **curious, technical, creative, or product-minded**, and who are excited to build rather than just talk about trends. If you like leaving an event with both new connections and a clearer understanding of what to try next, you’ll likely feel at home here.
