Origin Story

One WhatsApp group. Ten months later: 403 GitHub repos shared, 8 spinoff groups in 20 days, and a median response time of 13 seconds in some channels. That's not how most communities work.

Then January Happened

The Rooms

The Vibez (Main)
The mothership where Claude and code collide daily - building, debugging, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
#ai-oss
Open source model nerds obsessing over training runs, tooling, and making AI accessible to everyone.
Futures & Scenarios
The philosophers asking "what might this mean?" - wrestling with AGI's implications for the world.
Applied Business
Turning AI theory into business reality - interviews, processes, and real-world user scenarios.
Presentation AGI
Making ideas visual - slides, decks, and the craft of communicating complex AI concepts clearly.
Personal Workflows
Power users optimizing their setup - Obsidian notes, Mac configs, and keeping everything in sync.

What's Actually Happening Here

Repos, not tweets
Most AI communities share hot takes. This one shares GitHub links (403) at 2x the rate of Twitter links (191). Discussion is the byproduct. Building is the point.
Ideas have a 48-hour half-life
8 spinoff groups in 20 days. When something catches fire, it gets its own room within 48 hours. No committees. No permission.
The metabolism is different
13-second median response time in Audio Intelligence. Some threads move faster than Slack. This is building at the speed of conversation.
Yes, we're 90% Claude
2,107 mentions in the main group alone. If Anthropic sneezes, we catch cold. That's a feature and a risk.
Connectors over influencers
Top contributors are in 9-10 groups each. The value isn't reach - it's cross-pollination. Ideas flow through people, not broadcasts.
The stack emerges
Obsidian, Mac, Claude, WhatsApp. Not prescribed - discovered. Personal Workflows became a group because enough people were optimizing the same things.
