A lot of what people are building with AI comes down to conversations: chat, voice, messaging. This meetup brings the Manchester builder community together to discuss what that means in practice. There'll be a few talks, food and drinks, and plenty of time to network with other builders and see what they're working on. Hosted by Twilio.

It's for developers, tech leads and founders. Anyone building with AI, or just keen to see where it's going. Friendly crowd, all welcome.
