Cursor Riyadh: Build your MVP with AI!

⌖ Bangkok · Treehouse Cafe & Bar

Hosted by Jaume R.

Build AI products people will pay for at this informal builders meetup in Bangkok, taking place on 25 October 2026 at Treehouse Cafe & Bar. From AI idea to paying customer Vibe Coding Products in Bangkok brings together people who are using AI to turn early ideas into useful, launchable products. Hosted by Jaume R., this first edition creates a relaxed setting where builders can show their work, compare approaches and help one another make progress. The meetup runs from 5:00pm to 7:00pm ICT on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at Treehouse Cafe & Bar, 20 Sukhumvit 31 in Watthana. Rather than focusing only on code, the conversation will cover the full journey from deciding what to build to finding the first paying customer. Topics and questions may include: - Choosing an AI product idea worth pursuing - Turning a rough concept into a working prototype - Deciding how and when to launch - Working out what to charge - Finding early users and first customers - Getting feedback on a demo or half-built product - Moving an existing product beyond its current stage Attendees may be building with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another AI development tool. The emphasis is on sharing practical experiences rather than prescribing one particular stack. Who should attend? All stages are welcome. You might arrive with nothing more than an idea, a prototype that only partly works, or a product already earning revenue. You do not need a technical background, and you do not need to have made money from your project. Curiosity, a desire to build something useful and the motivation to keep moving are enough. Bring a demo if you have one, a question you want to explore, or a specific problem that has slowed you down. You can also come simply to meet other locally based AI builders and learn what they are creating. A conversational builders meetup Expect informal, peer-led conversations rather than a formal lecture or highly structured workshop. The format is designed for swapping ideas, receiving direct feedback and discussing both product development and commercial decisions with people who also want to ship. Attendees can additionally use Meetup’s event chat to connect before the session begins. View the event and registration details

Hosted by Sabtiah

Sabtiah is a two-hour working session for people actively building with AI, held on Saturday 24 October 2026 from 2–4 PM AST in Riyadh. Rather than a conventional speaker-led meetup, this weekly circle combines open discussion with practical demos: - Hour 1, Discussion: Explore developments in AI, share what participants are learning and consider what those changes mean for local builders. - Hour 2, Demos: Present an AI tool, agent, workflow, prototype or experiment. Projects can be polished or half-built, and bringing a problem you are stuck on also counts. The session is designed for people who want to build, experiment and exchange ideas with others tackling similar challenges. Conversation takes place in Arabic, English or both, depending on who is in the room. Sabtiah (السبتية) takes its name from a local custom of naming gatherings after the day on which they meet: Sabt means Saturday. The circle has met weekly since July 2025 and is powered by Cycls. Venue: Rafd Complex, Building 4, Floor 1, Al Malqa, Riyadh. Register for Sabtiah on Meetup.

Hosted by ServiceNow

ServiceNow is bringing its AI Summit to Riyadh on November 4, 2026 — a complimentary, full-day discovery event designed to transform how organizations understand and implement AI. Hosted at the Fairmont Riyadh, this summit addresses a critical challenge: while everyone is talking about AI, most organizations still struggle to put it to work effectively. This event bridges that gap by showing attendees how to apply AI to real business problems and leave with actionable strategies they can implement immediately. What You'll Experience The summit is structured around four core components designed to provide both strategic vision and practical implementation guidance. The Keynote Session features ServiceNow leadership unveiling groundbreaking plans and revealing how AI is fundamentally changing the platform's capabilities. You'll gain insights directly applicable to shaping your organization's AI journey, regardless of where you are in the process. The Innovation Showcase demonstrates how ServiceNow integrates with any cloud, any data source, any workflow, and any industry vertical. This hands-on exploration helps you understand how to apply the platform to your organization's toughest challenges, with real-world examples and live demonstrations. Breakout Sessions throughout the day feature industry experts and ServiceNow partners sharing best practices, inspiring success stories, and tactical advice. These sessions are designed for different experience levels — whether you're just beginning your AI journey or looking to optimize existing implementations. The summit also emphasizes community networking, providing structured opportunities to exchange ideas, tackle implementation questions, and learn from the collective intelligence of the ServiceNow community. These conversations often prove as valuable as the formal sessions. The AI Control Tower Concept A central theme of the summit is ServiceNow's position as an "AI control tower" — a unified platform that brings together all your AI capabilities, data sources, and workflows across your entire business. Rather than managing disconnected AI tools and pilots, you'll learn how one platform can orchestrate enterprise-wide AI transformation. This approach addresses the common challenge of AI fragmentation that prevents organizations from scaling their initiatives effectively. Who Should Attend This event is designed for decision-makers
