Went to something brilliant yesterday: an informal AI coffee meetup, hosted by a local author who just wanted to bring together people building with AI (or just curious about it) to swap wins, fails and everything in between.
What struck me most: so many people are vibe coding now. Folks who used to be stuck without a technical cofounder are just... building. A lot of them spent years in corporate and have recently jumped to chase this full time, and watching how far they've gotten on their own is honestly eye opening.
But here's the thing: most of them are building completely alone. They don't know what tools or workflows are working for anyone else. The minute people in the room started sharing what they use day to day, the energy completely shifted.
A monthly coffee catch up is great, but what happens at 3am when you're stuck and need a second pair of eyes? That's why I want to start a WhatsApp group for AI entrepreneurs and builders in and around Hertfordshire. A place to ask questions, share what's working, and find people building the same kind of thing as you.
Long term I'd love to bring in speakers from places like Google, Anthropic and OpenAI to share what they're seeing. For now though, it starts with getting the right people in one place.
If you're building with AI (or want to be), come join us ๐
