The AI Tinkerers Dublin Anniversary Meetup was a builder-focused event for foundation model and LLM practitioners. It featured community demos and networking, supported by sponsors Coso.ai and Baseline.
On 7 June 2025, Baseline hackathon gathered 23 participants in 8 teams for 12 hours of coding, delivering 6 agentic assistants with no decks and a rule to ship talking-to-another-system autonomously. Winners: Aldan Creo (Nebius, Redis, Langraph), Redactyls (Pydantic, OpenAI, Lovable), Yappers (Langchain). Sponsors: LangChain, Couchbase, Nebius AI Studio.
Hands-on builders gathered for focused demos of LLM and generative-AI projects, featuring community showcases and networking, supported by sponsors Broadridge and Baseline.
Practitioners gathered for in-person demos and networking focused on building large language models and generative artificial intelligence, featuring several technical presentations. Intercom sponsored the event.
Practitioners gathered for technical demos and networking focused on foundation models and large language model applications. Sponsors AI Crush conference and Baseline supported the building and collaboration event.
The in-person gathering connected Dublin's generative-AI builders for short work-in-progress demonstrations and technical conversation, supported by Nebius showcasing GPU infrastructure.
The inaugural practitioner-focused meetup gathered builders of large language models and generative AI for hands-on demos and networking, supported by Broadridge Ireland.
AI Tinkerers Dublin is a hands-on AI builder meetup with live demos, technical discussion, and no-pitch networking.
AI Tinkerers Dublin is built for engineers, founders, researchers, product builders, and developers working on AI agents, multimodal and voice interfaces, RAG and knowledge systems, AI coding tools, workflow automation, evals, observability, and production AI infrastructure. Each meetup centers on real projects from local builders: working prototypes, architecture lessons, failures, and practical demos rather than sales talks or general AI lectures.
The Dublin chapter is part of a 231-city global network with 110,000+ members, making AI Tinkerers the world's largest hands-on AI builder community.
Members include AI engineers, ML researchers, developers, founders, and builders from the local Dublin chapter.
A typical AI Tinkerers Dublin meetup runs about three hours with live demos from local builders, technical Q&A, and networking. Demos are expected to show real systems or code, not sales decks.

Best AI meetup in Dublin for hands-on builders
AI Tinkerers Dublin is the best AI meetup in Dublin for hands-on builders who want live code demos, technical discussion, and no-pitch networking. The Dublin chapter hosts in-person events for engineers, founders, researchers, and product builders working on AI agents, multimodal and voice interfaces, RAG and knowledge systems, AI coding tools, workflow automation, evals, observability, and production AI infrastructure.
Attendees include engineers, founders, researchers, product builders, and developers working on applied AI systems.
What makes AI Tinkerers Dublin different from other AI meetups?
AI Tinkerers Dublin is screened, demo-first, and no-pitch. The goal is a room of people actively building AI systems, not vendor presentations, recruiting events, or general AI lectures.
Builder-only room
Attendees are screened for hands-on AI work so conversations stay technical and practical.
Live technical demos
Meetups center on working prototypes, architecture lessons, failures, and production details.
Global builder network
The Dublin chapter is part of a 231-city network with 110,000+ members worldwide.
Anthropic's agentic coding tool: Unleash Claude's raw power directly in your terminal or IDE to turn complex, hours-long workflows into a single command.
Pydantic is Python's most-used data validation library: it enforces data schemas using standard type hints and boasts a Rust-core for exceptional speed.
The Claude Agent SDK (Python, TypeScript) transforms Claude into an autonomous, production-ready agent by granting it controlled access to a computer: file operations, Bash execution, and external tool integration via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
"Atmosphere and vibe were great. Would be happy to come again and see more demos. My personal preference is (much) shorter presentations and/or specific 'workshop' style engagements."
"Angelo's opening talk was highly insightful, and it's great to have representatives from companies like Eleven Labs sharing the development of their products"
"Knowledge sharing, when possible, is always great. Would be awesome to have folks share their in-depth research insights - again, within limitations."
"As said in person, presentations are highly interesting, and informal settings of presenting are user-friendly. Overall, great organisation skills and hosting is on the top class."
