Come see how people build with AI. We fill a coffee shop with nerds & laptops and show each other what we made.
🌊 Where we've been
The first Sharathon was in Ocean Beach in May. The second event brought us to Brew in August, with 22 participants and 13 live demos. You can watch those demos at sandiegoaistudio.com/sharathon/2. The best part was watching people share their setups and help each other take the next step.
🔧 For our third event, we're opening up the systems.
We want to see the agents, notes, and automations running your business. You might call your setup an AI operating system, a second brain, a harness, a software factory. Show your long-running agents, the memory they draw on, and the automations gluing it all together.
Eight builders get nine minutes each on stage: seven minutes to show what they cooked, how it works, and what they've learned along the way, then two minutes for questions.
Then we hang out, ask questions, turn laptops around, and see what everyone else is working on.
Who's this for?
🛠 People building with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, agents, or other AI tools
🧠 Anyone with a second brain, knowledge system/RAG, or automations they want to show
💬 ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or Gemini users who want to go deeper
🚀 Developers, founders, and creatives working AI into their flow
🐣 People brand-new to AI and curious what's possible
🤖 Hardware and robotics folks
🌊 Nerds looking to hang out, find collaborators, or meet people
🎤 Four ways to take part
Apply for a demo slot. We'll host eight demos on stage, nine minutes each: seven to present, two for questions. Stage slots go to setups that fit the theme: long-running agents, software factories, AI operating systems, second brains, and harnesses/interfaces. When you RSVP, tell us in a sentence or two what you want to show. Apply by Wednesday, November 11, and we'll let everyone who applied know by Friday, November 13. We'll also line up a couple of standbys in case a slot opens.
Show your table. Turn your laptop around for the people sitting near you. No stage needed, and anything goes: on theme or not, finished or half-baked.
Bring a schematic. A diagram, a workflow, or an idea you're trying to work out. Nothing has to be production level.
Just watch. Being a fly on the wall is a totally legit option. Laptops are optional, and you never have to explain anything you'd rather keep private.
Bring a laptop if you want to show something, bring one question about how a system works, and feel free to bring friends. Click the button below for more info and to register.
