Recorded on purpose
Every meetup teaches the next one how to get better.
We record footage and audio from our meetups, then share the raw material back with the room. Every conversation, build, and show-and-tell becomes context for what comes next. The meetup itself becomes a human-in-the-loop recursive agent.
Rewatch it. Feed it to your agents. Start your own meetup. Turn it into something we did not expect.

Between events
Discord is where the work happens between Sharathons.
People dropping projects mid-build, asking the question they don't want to post on X, helping each other ship. Free. Always on. Show up when you're stuck.
A manifesto
Done killing ideas in notebooks.
Ideas die in notebooks. You'd have a spark, write it down, maybe sketch it, and then it would sit there, buried in its final resting place till the end of time, because the time would never come that you'd have extra time to work on that one great idea.
Well, that's done.
AI just gave us the leverage we've never had before to get between idea having and actually doing. We jot stuff down and it can immediately influence a build.
idea having→idea actuating
What we believe
- Everyone's new at this.
Non-technical to mega-nerd, all of us figuring out the firehose at the same time. Everything's getting easier for everyone, and it's more important than ever to pick each other up and make stuff together. Helping each other increase agency through the ever-releasing wave of tools and opportunities. Like Anthropic, where Boris and his team play with cool stuff, see what sticks, and ship. That's us.
- Compounding beats novelty.
Every Sharathon, every event we do, is a recursive agent that makes the next one better. Everything we build makes building the next thing easier.
The studio
Built by Lucas Cooper-Bey.
Founder · Convener · Builder
Lucas started SD AI Studio around a simple observation: people learn faster when they stop pitching and start building beside one another.
He creates rooms where San Diego's builders can show their actual process, share what is working, and leave with more agency than they arrived with. What began with fifteen people around one long table at the first Sharathon is growing into a monthly gathering, a weekly rhythm, and a shared calendar for the wider community. Every room teaches the next one how to be better.
