About this event
If you care about where AI interfaces are heading next, this workshop is built for you. AG-UI sits at the intersection of autonomous systems, product experience, and practical developer workflows, and this in-person session with the AI Tinkerers community is designed to make that intersection concrete. With CopilotKit and Mastra featured in the mix, you can expect a hands-on, discussion-friendly evening focused on how modern AI apps are actually being built. This is not a broad, vague meetup about AI trends. It is a focused workshop for people who want to get closer to the tools, patterns, and product decisions behind agentic and interactive AI experiences, while also meeting others who are actively building, experimenting, and learning in the space. About the Event This public, in-person AG-UI workshop brings together the AI Tinkerers community for an evening centered on practical learning, live exploration, and real conversation. The theme points directly at a topic many builders are wrestling with right now: how to create user interfaces and workflows that make autonomous or semi-autonomous AI systems useful, understandable, and reliable for real people. Featuring CopilotKit and Mastra, the event is positioned as a workshop rather than a passive lecture. That means the value is likely to come from seeing ideas applied, asking questions in the room, comparing approaches with other attendees, and walking away with a clearer mental model of what AG-UI can look like in practice. Because this is an AI Tinkerers gathering, the atmosphere should appeal to people who like technical curiosity paired with community exchange. You do not need to come in with all the answers. The format is well suited to people who want to learn by engaging directly with the topic and talking through implementation details with others who care about the same problems. What to Expect Expect an evening that balances workshop energy with meetup-style conversation. Rather than treating AI autonomy as an abstract concept, the session will likely focus on concrete product and engineering questions: how agents interact with users, how interfaces support trust and control, and how frameworks can help teams move from demos to usable applications. You can look forward to a mix of activities such as: A clear framing of the AG-UI topic and why it matters now Practical walkthroughs or examples involving CopilotKit and Mastra Discussion around building agentic experiences, orchestration, and interface design Opportunities to ask implementation-focused questions Informal networking with other developers, founders, designers, and AI builders Because this is in person, one of the biggest advantages is the ability to follow the interesting thread in the room. If a demo raises a question about architecture, prompting, reliability, or UX tradeoffs, you can explore that in real time. If you are evaluating tools or trying to understand where a framework fits into your stack, this kind of environment is far more useful than consuming isolated content online. You should also expect a community-first feel. AI Tinkerers events tend to attract people who are actively experimenting, which makes the side conversations especially valuable. Often, the most useful takeaways come not only from the workshop content itself, but from hearing how someone else is approaching deployment, product scope, evaluation, or team workflows. Why Attend If you are trying to build with AI right now, the gap between "model capability" and "good product experience" is where many of the hardest questions live. This workshop is valuable because it focuses on that gap. AG-UI is about more than flashy autonomy. It is about creating systems users can work with, understand, and trust. Attending gives you a chance to sharpen both your conceptual and practical understanding. You may leave with a better sense of how frameworks like CopilotKit and Mastra fit into the current tooling landscape, what patterns are emerging in agentic product design, and what tradeoffs matter when moving from prototype to something people can actually use. This event is also a strong fit if you learn best in community. Being in the room with other serious practitioners helps you calibrate your own work. You can compare notes, pressure-test assumptions, and get exposed to ideas that do not always surface in polished blog posts or high-level talks. A few likely takeaways from the evening: A clearer view of what AG-UI means in practical product and engineering terms Better intuition for designing interfaces around autonomous or assistive AI behavior Exposure to tools and workflows associated with CopilotKit and Mastra Useful conversations with people building in adjacent areas New ideas you can apply to your own experiments, team discussions, or roadmap Practical Details This is an in-person event, which means the experience is built around being in the room: live interaction, direct discussion, and real networking. If you have been wanting a setting where you can ask nuanced questions and meet people beyond your own online feed, that alone makes this format worth considering. The event takes place on Thursday, July 24 at 6:00 PM PDT. Since it is a workshop-oriented evening event, it is a good fit for people who want to spend focused time after work digging into a specific AI topic with others who share the same level of interest. To get the most out of the session, come ready to participate. It helps to arrive with a few concrete questions in mind, especially if you are currently building with AI or exploring agentic product ideas. Think about the challenges you are facing around orchestration, interface design, developer tooling, or user trust, and use the event as a place to get sharper on those issues. This is a public event, so you can expect a mix of backgrounds and perspectives. Whether you are deeply technical, product-minded, or somewhere in between, the biggest advantage will come from engaging actively: listen closely, ask specific questions, and make time to meet a few people in the room before the evening ends.
Who should attend
This is for people who want to move beyond general AI interest and get into how agentic systems are actually shaped into usable products. - You are a **developer or engineer** exploring AI apps, copilots, or agent workflows and want a better understanding of the UI and orchestration layer around them. - You are a **founder, product builder, or technical lead** thinking about how autonomy should show up in a product and what makes an AI experience feel useful rather than chaotic. - You are a **designer or UX-minded builder** curious about how interfaces can support trust, control, transparency, and collaboration with AI systems. - You are already experimenting with tools in the modern AI stack and want to learn where **CopilotKit and Mastra** may fit into your thinking or workflow. - You value **in-person technical community** and want to meet other people who are actively building, testing, and comparing approaches instead of just talking about AI at a distance. - You do not need to be an expert, but you will get the most from this event if you are genuinely engaged with AI product building and ready to ask thoughtful, practical questions.
