AI Builders & Breakers: Side Quests, Moonlighters & Passion Projects The best AI projects start with a "What if...?" Forget the pitch decks and the funding rounds. Builders & Breakers is a night dedicated to showcasing the pure joy of making cool things. Whether you’re a seasoned engineer building autonomous agents or an AI-curious newbie looking to see what’s possible, this event is for you. We’re shining a light on the "Side Quest"- those clever, weird, and useful AI projects that people build in their spare time. It’s about celebrating the spirit of tinkering, sharing early feedback, and meeting fellow builders who are more interested in how it works than building unicorns. What’s on the Agenda? The Showcase: 5 creators take the stage for a lightning-fast 5-minute demo. No fluff or bravado - just cool tech and honest Q&A. The Crowd: A casual mix of developers, creatives, industry practitioners, and hobbyists. If you're curious about AI and learning from others, you're in the right place. The Goal: Build community, get inspired, and maybe find a collaborator for your own next side project. The Flow Arrival & Mingle: Grab a drink and settle in with the community. The Demos: 5 minutes to show + 5 minutes to chat. Fast, fun, and low-pressure. Open Networking: Stick around to talk shop, get feedback on your projects, and celebrate the build. Join Good Karma Labs and the Singapore Global Network for an evening that celebrates the tinkerers, the moonlighters, and everyone in between. Let’s see what happens when we just build for the fun of it. Good Karma Labs is the AI product studio for good. Dedicated to using AI to solve everyday problems, we believe in a more human approach to using technology and building incredible products. Organised by: Monk's Brew Club is a modern coffee house and social club designed to bring people together over specialty brews, hearty food and ideas.
