Chatbots, Coding, and Business Applications

Hello AI Friends,

This week’s meetup dove deep into the fundamentals of AI interaction, with fascinating discussions about what it truly means to “ask AI” something.

We explored the rapid evolution of coding tools like Cursor, and had enlightening conversations about Claude’s new writing styles and the game-changing Model Context Protocol.

A highlight was our practical demonstration of Cursor’s capabilities, showing how AI is making coding more accessible to everyone.

We also had an engaging discussion about X AI’s upcoming chatbot launch and what it means for the AI landscape.

The mix of technical insights and practical applications made for another knowledge-packed session.


See you next week,
