AI and Automation: Build Night

Join us with Detroit’s builders for an intensive hands-on session where you’ll learn practical AI and automation, build working prototypes with expert mentors, and demo what you shipped by the end of the night.
What is Build Night?
TechTown’s AI and Automation Build Nights are a monthly series designed for beginners, founders, and builders who want to move beyond theory and actually ship something. Whether you’re a starting founder building your next product, a developer learning new tools, or someone just curious about AI then this is your night to experiment, collaborate, and create something real.
No pitch decks. No talking about building. Just build!
Who should attend?
- Beginners with no coding experience (we provide templates and guided support)
- Founders building products who need mentor help to ship an MVP feature
- Developers wanting to learn AI tools while building with experts
- Product builders looking to automate workflows and operations
- Anyone curious about AI who wants hands-on experience
What you will leave with:
- Hands-on mentorship from industry experts
- Free tool credits (Lovable, Replit, Zapier, Make, and more)
- A working prototype or automation by end of night
- Food and refreshments provided
- Application pathway for continued TechTown support
- Connections to Detroit’s builder and founder community
- Demo time to showcase your work and get feedback
Come connect with fellow founders, curious people, exchange ideas, and build relationships with people who understand the challenges and excitement of building something new!
