AI Engineering Meet
Join us, in partnership with AI NYC and Blockchain NYC, for the first (of many) AI Engineering Meetups. This will be a monthly series for engineers, researchers, and builders interested in AI development. We'll explore how foundation models are being integrated into real-world products, what tools and techniques are emerging, and what’s next for the field.
AI is no longer just a research discipline—it’s becoming a core part of software development. AI Engineers work at the intersection of machine learning, software engineering, and product development, making powerful models (like GPT-4, Claude, and open-source alternatives) and in real applications.
What to Expect
A discussion on AI engineering and prompt engineering, their roles in modern development, and how they’re shaping the future of software.
Guest speakers Bethany Crystal and Brexton Pham, who will share insights on AI applications, best practices and technical challenges.
A space to connect with others working in AI, whether you’re actively building or just starting to explore the field.
This is the first of many—join us as we build a community around AI engineering.
About Bethany
After 15 years in tech, Bethany Crystal built Musekat—an AI-powered, no-code app—in just one weekend, proving that anyone can bring an idea to life without writing a single line of code. She’ll share how she integrates a variety of AI tools into her workflow to prototype new features and build an AI-native business. https://musekat.com/
