Tech Events by Bristol AI Automations

Bristol AI Automations' monthly meetup, built around two live demos rather than talks - people showing automations they have actually wired up, then questions. Arrive 18:00, intro 18:15, first demo 18:20, break, second demo 19:00, Q&A 19:30, networking from 20:00 until the building closes. At DeskLodge House, 2 Redcliffe Way; press the buzzer and ask reception for the AI Automations meetup, because several tech groups use the building the same night. Free, 16 signed up with 34 places left at the time of writing. Demo subjects are announced close to the date. Why go: most AI meetups in the city are discussion; this one makes someone open the tool and show the thing running, which is where you find out what actually works. Best for operators and engineers wiring AI into real workflows.

The December edition of Bristol AI Automations' monthly look at what is actually working in AI automation right now, built around live demos rather than slides.

At DeskLodge House, 2 Redcliffe Way: press the buzzer and ask reception for the AI Automations meetup, as other groups meet there the same evening. Free. No technical background needed. Why go: practitioners showing real workflows to a mixed room of operators, founders and non-developers. The one Bristol AI meetup running in the week before Christmas.

A hands-on evening on getting real work out of Anthropic's Claude, from Bristol AI Automations' monthly series on what is working in AI automation right now.

Arrive and mingle from 18:00, demo from 18:20, break at 18:50, Q&A at 19:30, networking from 20:00. No technical knowledge needed. At DeskLodge House, 2 Redcliffe Way: press the buzzer and ask reception for the AI Automations meetup, as other groups meet there the same night. Free.
