About

AI & Weekends

We are India’s biggest community of builders, designers, founders, and ai curious who would rather build than just talk. Our weekend co-builds happen across India including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai, and Gujarat and more.

This initiative is a part of ai & weekends, where we go on a two weeks sprint and become ai native.

What are friends have to say about us

AI & Weekends helped me move beyond AI theory to building real workflows, automation pipelines and scalable AI systems.

Krishna

I’ve been working in fintech for a while and in our organisation we were planning to implement AI workflows. At ai&w I met people who were already building in the Agentic AI space, which helped me a lot in ideation.

Shivank

Before AI Weekends, I mostly learned by watching videos. Now I learn by building. Build something, demo it, get feedback, walk away with new ideas and better workflows. That’s what AI-native looks like to me.
