AI + Coffee

Bring your questions — and grab a coffee from the shop we meet outside. Once a month we get together to explore what AI can actually do — in plain English, at a relaxed pace, with no sales pitch and no pressure.

Let us know you’re coming … or just drop in. Everyone’s welcome.

What to expect

Ask anything

No question is too basic. If you’ve been wondering something about AI, this is the room to ask it out loud.

See it in action

Live, hands-on looks at tools like ChatGPT and Claude doing real tasks — so “AI” stops being abstract.

Meet good people

Business owners, the tech-curious, and neighbors figuring this out together. Friendly, low-key, no cliques.

Zero pressure

It’s not a sales event. Come to learn, listen, or just enjoy your coffee. There’s nothing to buy and nothing to sign up for.

Common questions

Do I need to know anything about AI?

Not a thing. Plenty of people come having never opened an AI tool in their life — that’s exactly who this is for. You’ll leave knowing more than you came with, and nobody gets made to feel behind.

Is it really free?

Yes — the meetup itself costs nothing. We gather outside a coffee shop, so grab a cup if you like (that part’s on you). It’s our way of being useful to the community, and honestly it’s the best part of our month.

Do I have to bring a laptop?

Nope. Just bring yourself. We’ll be showing things on screen, and you’re welcome to follow along on your phone if you’d like — but there’s no homework and nothing to set up.

What if I just want to listen?

Completely fine. Sit back, sip your coffee, and take it in. Ask a question when you’re ready, or don’t — both are welcome.

Can I bring a friend or my team?

Please do. It’s more fun with people you know, and small-business teams often get the most out of coming together. The more the merrier.

Save your seat

First Friday of the month, 10am, outside Papillon in Lafayette. Tell us you’re coming and we’ll send a friendly reminder before each one — or just show up; we’ll be glad to see you.
