Sharathon 02 ·

Thirteen demos.
A room full of possibilities.

Sharathon 02 brought builders to Brew Coffee Spot in La Mesa to show what they had made and how it worked. Games, research, creative tools and personal AI systems all had a place in the room.

  • Games, made personal. A browser multiplayer game, a VR paragliding simulator, and experiments with board games and movement.
  • Tools for real work. Agent memory, remote coding sessions, accessibility tooling, and local systems for running AI.
  • A window into the process. Builders showed their work, explained the choices behind it, and took questions from the room.

The studio

Built by Lucas Cooper-Bey.

Founder · Convener · Builder

Lucas is a builder in San Diego. When building got fast enough that his ideas stopped dying in notebooks, he wanted people to build beside. So he started San Diego AI Studio.

With permission, we capture selected footage and audio from our meetups and share material when it is available and cleared for sharing. We use feedback and shared projects to understand what people found difficult and improve the next session.
