A two-hour online adventure for curious humans who’ve been dabbling with ChatGPT (or Copilot, or Gemini) and want to actually do something with it.

We’re not here for buzzwords or theory. This is a roll-up-your-sleeves, beverage-in-hand session where you’ll explore new tools, build real workflows, and walk away with a personalised AI toolkit that’ll save you hours come Monday.

Think of it like a digital shed-night: a bunch of clever people tinkering, swapping ideas, and discovering what really works.

What happens on the night

🧩 Discover new useful AI tools you probably haven’t heard of.
⚡ Build workflows that actually make life easier.
🛠️ Personalise your own AI stack. Pick what fits your life, not the hype.
💡 Share discoveries, compare results, and nick a few good ideas.

No longwinded generic slideshows. No “future of AI” waffle. Just fast-paced demos, hands-on building, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Why you’ll love it

Because you’ll leave thinking, “Ah — so that’s what AI can actually do for me.” And maybe with a new friend, a new tool, and a fresh pot of ideas.

Meet Your Hosts

J.J. & Dom aren’t your average AI evangelists, they met as old skool haxers. They’re the kind of people who’d rather build something weird and useful than talk about vague aspirations to automate everything.

Between them, they’ve wrangled spacecraft data, designed automated labs, trained far too many AI models, and accidentally broken a few things along the way.

They are allergic to jargon and hype. They prefer to work through things creatively, leading with curiosity, and a bit of good old-fashioned tinkering.

Expect two hours of practical magic, strong opinions, and the occasional off the wall random anecdote.

Dominik Fretz - Dom makes AI practical, playful, and human. Part engineer, part designer, all problem-solver. Known for turning “what if” into “done” before you’ve finished your flat white. Dom turns abstract AI ideas into things that make your day run smoother. He’s happiest when something that used to take hours now takes minutes, and does it right (you can take the Swiss out of Switzerland, but...).

J.J. Hastings - If Tony Stark preferred to build crazy things with JARVIS in the Aussie Outback, you’d get J.J. She builds futuristic labs, bends AI to her will, and turns big ideas into working systems. Scientist by training, creative by instinct, and never one for small talk or small projects.
