Hosted by Mindstone

Explore practical AI, LLM product building and AI productivity at Mindstone’s free monthly meetup in Singapore on 4 November 2026. Mindstone’s November meetup brings the city’s AI community together to examine what people are building today, how artificial intelligence can improve everyday work, and where the technology may lead next. Held at EHL Campus (Singapore), this is a practical evening for anyone who wants to move beyond AI headlines and understand real applications, methods and possibilities. Three perspectives on practical AI The programme follows Mindstone’s established three-talk format, combining technical insight, an applied demonstration and a broader discussion: - What I Learned Building With LLMs, a technical breakdown of the process behind building an AI-powered product, including real-world lessons and insights. - How To Be More Productive Using AI, a practical, step-by-step demonstration of ways to use AI to complete tasks faster and improve the results. - What Does the Future Look Like With AI?, a theoretical exploration of how AI could affect work, daily life and society. This range makes the meetup relevant to product builders and technically minded attendees interested in LLM development, as well as professionals, founders and curious newcomers looking for useful AI workflows or a clearer view of the field. The event page does not specify prerequisites, and the mix of technical, practical and future-focused sessions provides several entry points into the subject. Talks, food and community The evening begins with doors opening, a welcome and an introduction before moving through the three featured sessions. Closing remarks and next steps are followed by pizza, drinks and casual networking, giving attendees time to compare experiences, discuss projects and meet other AI practitioners and enthusiasts in Singapore.
