Inside the event

Lunch with a Side of AI

Bring your lunch. We’ll bring the AI chat.

A monthly online catch-up for people across Aotearoa who are trying things with AI and want a space to talk about it with other curious humans.

Share something useful you’ve found, something you’re making, or something that’s doing your head in. Ask a question, show us an experiment, or come along and listen. You don’t need to be an expert or have anything polished to share.

This isn’t a webinar. Nadia Ellis from Curiosity will keep the conversation moving, but what we talk about will come from the people in the room. Some sessions might start with a quick demo; others will go wherever the conversation takes us.

First up: personal AI agents. Nadia will introduce her Codex dot Suki and show how she uses her in Codex, plus a simpler starting point using pinned threads. Then we’ll open it up: what would you want your own AI sidekick to help with?

First Tuesday of each month, 12:30–1:15pm NZ time. Online, with the AI Collective NZ.

The AI Collective is a global non-profit building the human layer for the AI era. We unite 200,000+ leaders, builders, and stakeholders across 100+ forums worldwide to democratize the frontier, build trust, and coordinate how society navigates the rapid acceleration of technological progress.
