About the club · Founded 2026, Chennai

Not a meetup.
A month with a deadline.

Every AI community in the city has a stage for people who already ship. ambinerds is the room where you become one of them.

One theme a month. Twenty members chosen by application, engineers seated next to designers and founders. Every Saturday closes with something real in your hands, and the month closes with your demo in front of an invited audience.

The month

Four Saturdays, zero filler

Cohort 01 is agentic AI: systems that plan, use tools, and act. Every session ends with a takeaway you can point to. By demo day, you hold four.

01Kickoff

Meet the room

An industry guest opens the theme with how agentic AI runs in production today. Teams form, and every team receives its build brief.

You leave withYour team, your brief, the starter map.
02The Debate

Sharpen a stance

Panelists defend sharp positions, then the room takes over. You leave able to argue where this technology goes next, and why.

You leave withA position you can defend in any room.
03Build Day

Ship the thing

A hands-on workshop led by a tech lead. Mentors circulate until every member has an agent running on their own laptop.

04Demo Day

Show the room

Teams present to the cohort and invited guests, judged on a rubric published in week one. Recorded, so you keep the proof.

You leave withYour demo video and your rank.

The code track

For engineers and students. Agent frameworks, tool calling, and a starter repo, guided by mentors from production AI teams.

The no code track

For designers, marketers, and founders. Visual builders, real automations, and ownership of the story your team tells on demo day.

How we run the room

The club standards

Standard

Nobody leaves empty handed.

Every Saturday closes with an artifact in your hands. A brief, a stance, a working agent, a demo video. Attendance alone earns nothing.

Belief

Proof, not certificates.

Certificates say you attended. A recorded demo, a public build log, and a rank say what you did. We only deal in the second kind.

Room rule

Small is the model.

Twenty seats, so mentors reach every laptop and every member demos. Nobody watches from the back, because there is no back.

Membership

What members take home

Cohort 01 is completely free. No fees, no deposit, no catch. Selection is on intent, not resumes: tell us what you want to build and why now, and show up for your four Saturdays.

Back the room where your next hires are made

Every cohort produces twenty people with working demos, public build logs, and recorded presentations. Talent with proof attached, not a stack of resumes. Founding partners get demo day seats, brand presence, and first access.

FAQ

The honest answers

How much does it cost?+
Nothing. Cohort 01 is completely free: no fees, no deposit, no catch. The only thing we ask for is commitment. Twenty seats are too few for no-shows, so if you are accepted and go silent, your seat goes to the waitlist.
Do I need to know how to code?+
No. The no code track exists precisely for you. You will build a real automation with visual tools, and your team will lean on you for the use case, the story, and the demo day pitch. We select for intent, not experience.
What is the time commitment?+
Four Saturday sessions across one month. Kickoff and the debate run about ninety minutes. Build day and demo day run up to three hours. Between Saturdays there is a group chat, one short midweek check-in, and an optional online office hour.
What exactly will I build?+
Cohort 01 builds AI agents: software that can plan, call tools, and complete tasks with minimal supervision. Your team receives a scoped brief in week one, so the project is small enough to finish and real enough to demo with pride.
Where do sessions happen?+
In person, in Chennai. The venue is shared with accepted members before kickoff. If you are not in Chennai yet, follow us anyway. The plan is more cities, one proven cohort at a time.
