Ruby 🤝 AI Happy Hour & Demo Night 4th Edition

​Ruby has an incredible role to play in shaping the future of AI apps. With its developer-first ethos and unparalleled flexibility, Ruby is the perfect language for experimenting with new ideas and uncovering innovative ways to interact with the latest LLM technologies.

​We’re excited to invite you to our fourth Ruby AI happy hour on Feb 5th, 2025! Join us for an evening of cutting-edge Ruby AI demos, meaningful conversations, and a chance to connect with both familiar faces and new friends. Whether you’re here to showcase your own Ruby experiments or simply soak in the creativity of the community, there’s something for everyone.

​Interested in demoing your work? We’d love to hear from you! Email us at founders@sublayer.com to reserve a spot at this or a future event.

​Let’s come together, share ideas, and continue building the future of Ruby and AI—one experiment at a time.
