Best AI meetup in Rio de Janeiro for builders

AI Tinkerers Rio de Janeiro is a hands-on AI builder meetup with live demos, technical discussion, and no-pitch networking.

AI Tinkerers Rio de Janeiro is built for engineers, founders, researchers, product builders, and developers working on AI agents, multimodal and voice interfaces, RAG and knowledge systems, AI coding tools, workflow automation, evals, observability, and production AI infrastructure. Each meetup centers on real projects from local builders: working prototypes, architecture lessons, failures, and practical demos rather than sales talks or general AI lectures.

A typical AI Tinkerers Rio de Janeiro meetup runs about three hours with live demos from local builders, technical Q&A, and networking.
