Chai & AI Community

There's so much happening in AI right now, and everyone seems to be hearing a different version of what matters. Most AI learning spaces tend to attract the same kinds of people, follow rigid formats, and leave little room for honest, casual conversations: the kind you'd have over chai with a friend 🍵.

Chai & AI is our antidote to that.

It's a curated, invite-only community of problem-first AI thinkers: folks who've worked with Aish and Kiriti, alumni from places we've taught, and respected peers in the field.

Every Sunday morning, we meet for freeform conversation. Some weeks we bring in a guest, put them in the spotlight, and ask all the questions we're too shy to ask in public. Other weeks, we just pick a topic and spill tea. It's completely unstructured and confidential with no recordings, no scripted agenda.

We talk about everything. New AI product and model announcements, the latest buzzwords and what they actually mean for enterprise practitioners, how hiring is shifting, what gives AI products a real moat, how teams are handling change, what education looks like in this new world, founder mindset, and whatever else people are thinking about that week. And plenty more.

The Chai & AI community is invite-only to maintain the quality of our candid discussions and ensure everyone is aligned with our problem-first approach. All our Maven cohort students get temporary access to these sessions while they take the course, and then we float an application to select interested folks for continued participation.
