It’s Monday, October 6th: We’re interrupting your regularly-scheduled programming to bring you a special update from the AI Collective on our HUGE community milestone…

Hey everyone, Chappy here! 👋

The (Gen)AI Collective began back in February 2023 as a small group of friends gathering in a cozy San Francisco living room to discuss the week’s latest news and advancements in AI.

I don’t think any of us expected these conversations to grow beyond this intimate setting. And in many ways, it hasn’t! Yes, this group of friends has grown a little in size and heart, but the passion and purpose remains the same!

This community was founded on the belief that the most meaningful connections are made when exploring a shared curiosity together, and that meaningful relationships lead to meaningful outcomes. Bring exceptional people together in purposeful ways and INCREDIBLE things happen!

Fast-forward to today, and that spark has grown into a global movement… 100,000+ strong! 🥳

Since our global launch in June, this community has accomplished more in one quarter than in our first two years combined – and that’s entirely because of you. Your curiosity, energy, and contributions – alongside 300+ global team members – have shaped the most passionate AI community on earth.

“It’s such a joy to reflect on all our growth and learning these past 2.5 years. As exciting as it’s been, I’m confident we’re only just getting started. Under 1% of the way there. Thank you all for being a part of this shared journey!” ~ Chappy

“We’re standing at a crossroads in history, and each of us has a role to play in creating what comes next. The AI Collective is more than a movement. It’s a living experiment in Collective power - proving what’s possible when technology serves humanity. ” ~ Catherine

I believe we’re on path to change the course of the world. Like many of yourself, I refuse to stand on the sidelines during this pivotal moment in human history. Every collective conversation, every event, every initiative takes us one step closer to our mission of human flourishing in the AI era. Thank you all for your support towards our next 100,000 members!” ~ AJ

Q3 Highlights: Our Collective Impact

These numbers represent real people meeting, collaborating, and pushing the frontier forward:

  • 🚀 93 new chapters launched → 93 communities lighting up the world

  • 🎟️ 227 local events hosted → where ideas turned into collaborations

  • 👥 172 new team members joined the movement → new voices, fresh energy

  • 📣 1M+ social impressions → our ideas spreading further than ever

  • 🎉 100k+ members worldwide → a milestone that belongs to all of us

Local teams are thriving. New educational and growth initiatives are taking shape. And everywhere, members are stepping up to build meaningful human connection through AI.

Looking Ahead: Q4 and Beyond

The next few months will set the stage for something historic:

💬 Community-Led Initiatives → More opportunities for you to run events, share tools, host sessions, and shape what this community becomes next.

Better Member Experience → New and improved experiences and initiatives to help new members connect faster, learn more, and get involved.

🌐 Global AI Fest (Q1 2026) → One week. Hundreds of events. Dozens of countries. It’ll be the biggest coordinated community initiative we’ve ever undertaken.

Our goal isn’t just to grow – it’s to continue building a movement where everyone has a place and an important role to play.

Engineering Intuition at Scale with Baz

Today’s AI code reviewers catch surface-level issues but miss the hard ones like cross-service drift, schema mismatches, and logic regressions that cause real production bugs. In this deep dive, Omri Levy explains why single-agent approaches fail and how Baz’s Agentic Reviewer uses a multi-agent architecture to mirror how senior engineers reason: mapping context, inferring intent, asking hard questions, and proving or disproving real risks.

The result is engineering intuition made systematic, with fewer but higher-value findings backed by evidence, not noise.

Read the full benchmark results and see how Baz’s agentic design caught 7 of 8 real-world bugs that other tools missed. 👇
