Ride the wave. Don't get crushed by it.
A free monthly AI meetup for:
Steiner Ranch | Lakeway | River Place | Four Points | Bee Caves
Neighbors helping neighbors figure out AI — together.
Where community meets competitive advantage.
AI is moving fast — faster than most of us can keep up with. And if you're a small business owner, a freelancer, or just a curious neighbor in West Austin, it can feel overwhelming.
Ride the Wave AI exists to change that. We meet monthly to share what's working, demo real tools, and help each other navigate this shift.
No Tech Background Needed
We meet people where they are. Whether you've never touched ChatGPT or you're already experimenting — there's a seat at the table for you.
Real Tools, Real Results
No fluff, no hype. Every session focuses on AI tools you can actually use in your business or daily life — this week, not someday.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors
This is your community. We learn from each other, share what's working, and figure out the hard stuff together. No gatekeeping.
What to Expect
Every meeting follows a simple structure that keeps things moving and everyone engaged.
Open Networking
Grab a drink, meet your neighbors, trade business cards.
Welcome & Mission
A quick intro from the founders — why we're here, who we are, what's new.
Main AI Demo / Talk
A member volunteer demos an AI tool or shares how they've been using it in their work or life.
What Are You Working On?
3 members each take 2–3 minutes to share what they're experimenting with. Questions welcome.
Open Q&A / Group Problem Solving
Bring your AI questions, challenges, or "I saw this thing — does it work?" moments. The whole group helps.

Be the first to know about our first meeting, location, and speaker lineup.
No spam — ever.
Your neighbors, leading the way.
Chris, Doug, and Lynn are Hill Country neighbors who kept having the same conversation — at the coffee shop, at school pickup, at neighborhood events:
"I know AI is important, but I don't know where to start."
So they decided to do something about it. Ride the Wave AI is their answer — not a product pitch, not a tech conference. Just neighbors getting together once a month to figure it out together.
