Welcome to the Code for Community Austin meetup! Our goal is to connect technologists, creatives, and community organizations to find valuable problems and build useful solutions. We do this by matching community needs with interested technology and design partners. At our first meetup we heard from five Austin nonprofits and community organizations, and volunteer teams are now forming around all five projects. This month we check in on that work — and meet the next group of organizations. What to expect at this event We'll open with progress from the projects already in flight: what the teams have built, what they've learned, and where they still need help. Then we'll hear from a few new community organizations about projects they're working on and where they could use support. Damon will share where Code for Community is headed — how the matching system is evolving and how you can contribute. We'll close with time to connect, so if you have skills you want to put to work, you can sign up and meet others doing the same. You do not need to have attended the first meetup. Every project still has room, and the new organizations are starting from zero. For community organizations Nonprofits, mutual-aid groups, and community organizations are invited to sign up in advance to share a project. Whether that means improving a website, organizing data, simplifying a process, reaching more people, or exploring a new idea, we want to hear about it. Submit a project here. For builders Software engineers, QA testers, designers, marketers, project managers, and other builders can meet organizations doing meaningful work, learn about their needs, and find opportunities to contribute. Want to get involved before the event? Visit codeforcommunity.com or reach out to Damon at damon@clearroadlabs.com You might enjoy this meetup if you're a: Nonprofit, mutual-aid, or community organizer Software engineer, QA tester, or data professional Designer, writer, marketer, or creative Project m

Out in Tech brings together LGBTQ+ professionals and allies across tech, startups, and digital culture. Join the Out in Tech ATX community for our monthly mixer at Flourish Plant Shop & Wine Bar. This event is all about showing up as yourself, meeting cool people, and building community. Whether you work in tech, are tech-adjacent, or just curious, come grab a drink, spark a conversation, and connect with folks across roles, companies, and experience levels. No panels. No pitches. Just good vibes and great people. This is our first time hosting with Flourish Plant Shop & Wine Bar. They are a woman-owned wine bar and plant shop. Tuesday is their all day happy hour, and they have a food menu (charcuterie, sandwiches) as well! Looking forward to trying something new with y'all! We meet on the third Tuesday of every month!

For eight years, Steve Adler ran the fastest-growing large metro in America — a streak almost no city in U.S. history has matched. Now, in his new book Hot Seat — Hot City: The Austin Mayor's Story, Austin's two-term mayor pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to lead a city through explosive growth. Mayor Adler makes a case every founder in this room will recognize: Austin's real superpower is its tolerance for risk — a city where the civic heroes are the ones who try, fail, adapt, and try again. As laid out in the book, Steve will talk about what really happened in the “Uber/Lyft” war, homelessness, police funding and race, and whatever else attendees want to raise. It’s available now on Amazon. He’ll sign copies if you bring one (and I have a few copies for our Fridge Members). Join us Fridgeside for drinks and a candid conversation with Mayor Adler. Happy hour from 5-5:45, Discussion 5:45-6:45, and more casual conversation after.

The Korea Playbook for Austin Physical AI Founders For physical AI, the model is rarely the bottleneck. It's who builds at volume and who's willing to fund it. China still leads on tooling and hardware, but Korea's industrial economy makes its capital structurally more willing to back long-horizon, capex-heavy robotics than most US venture. That's why Korea is becoming a place to fund and scale physical AI, not just sell into. About the Event Antler Korea and US Teams are bringing together founders, investors, and operators working across physical AI, robotics, hardware, and emerging technology in Austin to discuss the state of physical AI in Asia/South Korea and what it means for US startups. We'll explore where Korea fits into the global physical AI landscape, what makes an Asia strategy credible, and how founders can turn technical advantage into real deployment, commercial partnerships, and scale. Speakers Mok Yun Founder & CEO, Contoro Robotics Mok is the founder and CEO of Contoro Robotics, an Austin-based robotics company building AI-powered robotic systems for logistics and industrial operations. Contoro Robotics has deployed on real-world logistics deployments in South Korea and recently raised an $12M Series A investment from Coupang, South Korea's largest online retailer. Mok will share a founder's perspective on moving robotics from development to deployment, why Korean capital is proving more willing to back capex-heavy physical AI, and where he sees Asia's role in the industry heading next. Jiho Kang Partner, Antler Korea Jiho is a serial entrepreneur and investor who has built companies across Seoul and Silicon Valley. He cofounded YC backed Soomgo(acquired 2024), and BxB which was acquired by Binance. Today, he backs globally ambitious founders as Partner at Antler Korea and works with international founders exploring Korea’s startup and industrial ecosystem. What We’ll Get Into The Asia / Korea Landscape Where China still leads, tooling, PCBs, hard

Speaker/Facilitator: Alejandro Mancilla, MongoDB Welcome back to another exciting ACM Austin event! As we continue to dive deep into Enterprise AI & Engineering, we are thrilled to partner with MongoDB to deliver a highly practical, instructor-led workshop on building AI agents. AI agents are quickly becoming a baseline for modern AI applications. In this hands-on session, you will learn core concepts such as reasoning, tools, and memory, and explore various agent architectures. By the end of the evening, you will have built a functional, AI-powered technical documentation assistant using MongoDB and LangGraph. The agent you build will utilize MongoDB as its memory and knowledge store, rely on a supported model (such as Claude, Gemini, or GPT) for its "brain," and use LangGraph to orchestrate the end-to-end workflow. ### Food & Networking Come hungry! We will kick off the evening with delicious Mexican catering, featuring an end-to-end taco and burrito spread. There will be plenty of excellent vegetarian options available to ensure everyone is fueled up before we dive into the technical content. ### What You Will Learn Understand foundational AI agent concepts, including orchestration, reasoning, tools, and memory. Explore common AI agent use cases alongside different agent architecture patterns. Build your own AI-powered technical documentation assistant using LangGraph and MongoDB. Learn how to effectively use MongoDB as a vector store, knowledge store, and memory provider for agentic applications. Understand patterns for more reliable and controllable workflows by adding memory to an AI agent. ### Prerequisites & Requirements Bring Your Own Laptop: A laptop is required to participate in the hands-on exercises, and the venue will have Wi-Fi available so you can easily follow along. Environment Access: You must be able to access Instruqt and a browser-based workshop environment. Experience: Basic familiarity with Python and Jupyter Notebooks

Spend a day turning an idea into working software with Cursor. Work solo or in a team of up to four. You can bring your own idea, find teammates when you arrive, or choose from one of our prompts. Build an app, agent, developer tool, automation or something completely unexpected. Supabase is sponsoring the hackathon and can be used as the backend for your project, but there is no required theme or stack. The only rule is that Cursor should be a meaningful part of how you build. Every team will submit its project online. Judges will select the top three winners, who will present their projects to the room. Featured judges: Hunter Carver, Josh Brown (PlanetScale), Jake O'Shea (AITX/Antler). Schedule 9:00 AM — Doors open and breakfast 9:30 AM — Welcome and team formation 10:00 AM — Building begins 12:30 PM — Lunch 3:00 PM — Online submissions close 3:00–4:30 PM — Judging, Hackers hangout 4:30 PM — Winners announced, Prizes and closing 5:00 PM — Event ends Thank you to our Partners for supporting this event!

Welcome to Claude Fable 5.1 Build Day Austin! Fable 5.1 is here, and we're getting the Austin builder community together to spend an afternoon pushing it as far as it goes. Bring your laptop and an idea, and we'll build and have some fun. Everything gets made in the room, so the only thing to prep beforehand is to setup Claude Code on your laptop. Who this is for: Everyone. Developers, builders, and everyday Claude Code users (brand new or experienced, all welcome). Pick a track: Delight — build something surprising, beautiful, or just plain fun. The bar: you couldn't have made it this good, this fast, before. Breakthrough — build something that wasn't possible before. Take a problem the last model couldn't handle and see how far this one gets. Everyday — build something that fixes a real annoyance in your actual life. Teams: Go solo or grab two to four people. Teams form on the day, nothing to arrange in advance. If you show up alone, you won't stay that way for long. Agenda: - TBA ----- A special thank you to HackAI for hosting, and to Linkt AI for sponsoring this event. Linkt AI is the AI Deployment Company, bringing sovereign intelligence to your company. linkt.ai

Austin tech icon Brett Hurt is coming Fridgeside for a wide ranging discussion on his founder journey and his recent transition to author and AI thought leader. Brett has been building companies 25 years — Coremetrics (acquired by IBM), Bazaarvoice (a billion-dollar IPO), and data.world (acquired by ServiceNow in 2025). But his newest project isn't a company. It's a question: what if we met the age of AI with love instead of fear? That's the heart of his new book, Love Conquers Fear: Humanity, AI, and the Age of Abundance for All — a blend of hard-earned technical perspective, spiritual curiosity, and optimism about where all of this is headed. Happy hour from 5-5:45, Discussion 5:45-6:45, and more happy hour after.
