About this event

Join Base44 and The AI Collective for an interactive workshop designed to help you move beyond using AI and start building with it.

Most people use AI to write, research, brainstorm, summarize information, or answer questions. The next step is becoming an AI Builder, someone who can turn ideas into products, automate workflows, solve problems, and create solutions that didn't exist before.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to transform ideas into working applications using Base44, an AI-native platform that enables anyone to build software without coding.
What You'll Learn
How to identify meaningful problems worth solving with AI
How to move beyond prompting and start building solutions
The BASE Prompt Framework for creating AI-powered applications
How to rapidly prototype tools, workflows, projects, and automations
How AI builders are creating new opportunities in business, education, and entrepreneurship

In Dialogue with AI: Demystifying AI (Night 1)

Portland, United States · AI Portland
In person

🚨 Register on Luma 🚨 Six evenings that use the defining technology of our moment to re-examine our relationship to one another. Not AI as a tool to master or a threat to repel, but a sustained question: who are we in dialogue with when we use AI, and what is it teaching us about ourselves? Each evening stands on its own, and the six together make an argument. There is nothing to catch up on and no background required, beyond having noticed that something has changed. This is not a technical course. It is an invitation to look at AI plainly, together, and to notice what it is teaching us about ourselves. Bring whatever you already think. It holds up better in a room full of people than it does alone. Read more: https://www.indialoguewithai.org/ Demystifying AI Seeing plainly what AI is, and learning to look at it without projection. About Roberto Santiago Roberto A. Santiago is an applied AI researcher who has spent thirty-five years inside this field, in a lineage that runs directly back to Paul Werbos, the inventor of backpropagation through time. He builds these systems, and he has watched the culture around them form. Agenda 6:00 - 6:45: Lecture 6:45 - 7:00: Discussion 7:00 - 7:30: Post-event networking 🚨 Register on Luma 🚨
