San Diego AI Circle

San Diego, California
Hosted by Mike McGovern
San Diego AI Circle is a curated group of highly technical builders working at the edge of deep learning and agentic systems. We meet in person to share what we’re building, trade notes on the latest advancements, and learn from / collaborate with other serious practitioners. As AI tooling accelerates, small teams can increasingly outpace large organizations by shipping focused, niche products quickly. Meanwhile, much of San Diego’s best technical talent is distributed across large companies, labs, and teams—so finding the right collaborators can be difficult. This Circle exists to solve that: a central hub for builders to learn from each other, get high-quality feedback, and meet potential collaborators and cofounders. Who it’s for Engineers and researchers building with DL/LLMs/agents (or shipping ML products) in their domain. Founders and technical leaders applying AI to real use cases. People who bring projects, experiments, challenges, and learnings (not just ideas). What to expect Project shares + technical discussion. Collaboration / cowork-style build time (demos, debugging, and challenges). A curated, high-signal room. Tips Bring your laptop with the project you are working on, including any hardware (if applicable). Join our discord channel to keep in touch with members, see what they are building, find others with similar goals, and continue collaboration. Space is limited. If this sounds like you, request to join and come to our first kickoff. Our first topic will focus on Personal AI agents and Open Claw. PARKING Park around the back of the building and come in the back door. You don't need to pay for parking, you can validate parking inside by scanning a QR code and sharing your license plate.
