About this event
If you’re building AI agents and want a better weekly rhythm than endless DMs and scattered online threads, this breakfast meetup gives you a place to show up, talk shop, and meet other people doing the work. Agents & Bagels is a simple idea with real utility: start your Wednesday morning in San Francisco with builders who care about agent design, tooling, workflows, reliability, and what’s actually working right now. This is not a polished conference or a passive audience event. It’s a recurring in-person meetup for people who want thoughtful conversation, practical exchange, and a community of peers they can keep seeing week after week. About the Event Agents & Bagels is a weekly breakfast meetup for agent builders. The focus is straightforward: bring together people working on AI agents in a casual setting where it’s easy to compare notes, ask real questions, and build relationships with others who are similarly deep in the space. Because it’s a morning meetup, the format is naturally more grounded and conversational than a large evening event. You can drop in before the rest of your day begins, meet people while energy is high, and leave with a few sharper ideas, a couple of useful contacts, and a better sense of what other builders in San Francisco are exploring. The community angle matters here. Agent work often cuts across product, engineering, research, design, evaluation, and operations. A meetup like this creates room for those perspectives to mix. Whether you’re focused on orchestration, memory, tool use, UX, evaluation, or deployment, the value comes from hearing how other people are approaching similar challenges from different angles. What to Expect Expect an informal breakfast meetup built around conversation rather than presentation. The atmosphere is social and builder-friendly: people arrive, grab breakfast, introduce themselves, and get into the kinds of discussions that are easiest to have in person when everyone shares enough context to skip the basics. Typical conversations may include: What kinds of agents people are building right now Which tools, frameworks, and workflows are holding up in practice Where projects get stuck, from prompting to evaluation to reliability How teams are thinking about deployment, iteration, and user experience What’s changing quickly in the broader agent ecosystem This kind of event works best when people bring both curiosity and specifics. You do not need a formal demo or prepared remarks, but it helps to come ready to talk about what you’re working on, what decisions you’re weighing, or where you’d like feedback. Because it’s weekly, there’s also a strong chance to build continuity. You might meet someone one week, follow up during the week, and come back the next Wednesday with progress, new questions, or a new idea to test with the group. That recurring cadence can be especially valuable if you want your network to become an active part of your building process rather than a one-off exchange. Why Attend If you’re serious about AI agents, proximity to other builders matters. Reading posts and watching demos can be useful, but there’s a different level of insight that comes from hearing how someone made a system work, where it failed, and what tradeoffs they made along the way. This meetup gives you access to that kind of practical conversation. You should come if you want to sharpen your thinking through direct exchange. Sometimes the most useful outcome from an event is not a big revelation but a smaller shift: a better evaluation approach, a new tool to test, a cleaner framing for your product, or an introduction to someone facing the same technical constraint. There’s also real value in showing up consistently. Weekly meetups create familiarity, and familiarity turns networking into actual community. Instead of repeating your background to strangers every month, you start recognizing people, tracking each other’s projects, and building the kind of rapport that leads to collaboration, referrals, and honest feedback. In short, this is a good use of time if you want: Conversations with people actively building in the agent space A regular touchpoint with the local AI builder community Practical insight rather than surface-level trend talk A low-friction way to expand your network before the workday starts Practical Details This is an in-person event in San Francisco, USA, scheduled for Wednesday, June 3 at 8:00 AM PDT. The breakfast timing makes it easy to attend before work, and the in-person format is a big part of the value: faster rapport, better conversation, and more natural introductions than you typically get online. Since this is a meetup rather than a formal program, plan for a social, conversational flow. You’ll get the most out of it if you arrive ready to introduce yourself clearly, share a bit about what you’re building, and ask others what they’re working on. A short, concrete explanation of your current project or interest area will go a long way. A few ways to prepare: Be ready with a quick description of your agent project, role, or area of interest Think of one or two questions you’d love to ask other builders Bring your curiosity about tools, workflows, product decisions, and implementation details Leave a little room in your schedule afterward in case a strong conversation turns into a follow-up coffee or walk If you’ve been looking for a consistent, in-person gathering for people building AI agents in San Francisco, this is a strong place to start. Show up, meet the regulars and newcomers, and make your Wednesday morning more useful than another hour spent scrolling for answers.
Who should attend
This is for people who want smarter conversations about AI agents than they usually get online, and who like the idea of building community through a steady weekly meetup. - You’re actively **building AI agents** and want to compare notes with others working through similar technical and product questions. - You work in **engineering, product, research, design, or operations** and your role touches agent behavior, tooling, workflows, evaluation, or deployment. - You’re looking for a **recurring San Francisco community** rather than a one-time networking event, and you value seeing the same people often enough to build real relationships. - You have a project, prototype, experiment, or idea in progress and want **practical feedback**, useful introductions, or perspective from other builders. - You’re curious about the fast-moving agent ecosystem and want a place where you can ask direct questions, hear what’s working for others, and share what you’re learning. - You prefer **informal, high-signal meetups** over heavily programmed events, and you like starting the day with conversation that could genuinely improve your work.
