About us
We differ from other local AI/ML meetups in the following ways:
- Local & social - We aim for local community building and idea sharing in the Ann Arbor / Ypsilanti area; most of our meetups are in-person.
- Generalist - We focus on the general topics of AI/ML, not on any specialized fields such as NLP or CV.
- Low barrier - Our participants are very diverse, including self-learners, business people, entrepreneurs, students, and those who just started their journey in AI/ML; no PhD degree is needed to participate.
We regularly meet the first Thursday of each month.

AI-Powered Software Delivery, Done Right
Ann Arbor SPARK, 330 E Liberty St Lower Level, Ann Arbor, MI 48104, USA, Ann Arbor, MI, USEveryone's adopting AI tools, but few are seeing real transformation, because tools alone don't change how work gets done. This talk introduces Forge, a structured approach that weaves AI into every stage of building software, from planning through launch, so gains are visible, trustworthy, and repeatable rather than a one-off speed boost. Expect real numbers: faster planning, faster development, more frequent releases, all tracked and proven along the way. A practical look at what it takes to make AI adoption actually pay off, for technical and business audiences alike.
