On Wednesday night, I got to host around 100(!) AI devs, engineers, and non-technical community members for AICamp's monthly ATX meetup at Capital Factory. A quick poll of the audience showed ~40% were joining us for the first time! It is exciting to see this community expand! The night featured two talks: Tyrone Michael Avnit kicked things off with a talk called "Taming Claude Code: Building Deterministic Workflows with the SDK," showing the audience how they could build multistep workflows leveraging Claude's Agent SDK. Holt S. gave a talk on A2A (Agent2Agent) Protocol, demonstrating how agents can collaborate securely and how teams can actually monitor what they are doing. Thank you to Ty and Holt for their time and energy! Great content and an insightful Q&A after both talks. There was a lot of energy in the room Wednesday night. People were excited to be there, connecting with others, and getting to learn from our speakers. That is what makes this growing community so special! Thanks to Capital Factory for hosting us, AICamp for getting us all together, and Bill Liu for creating this global community! 👥 For ATX AI developers, builders, and AI curious: AICamp is partnering with Coder for a special meetup on February 24 (@ Coder HQ.) The topic will be AI Governance for Developers: How to Use AI Agents Safely Without Slowing Them Down. (Link to signup in the comments.) 🌎 Not in Austin? AICamp is creating AI learning opportunities across major US cities and around the world. (See AICamp hub link in comments for more details.) Great to connect with so many new people: Sai Kiran Belana, Neel Gali, Venkat Vellaichamy, Alex Mirran, Andrew Eye, Kishan Raj V.. #ChasingAI
