Meetups
Learning that keeps going.
All Things AI (Live) is continuous learning year-round — virtual lunch and learns and live meetups around the Triangle. New events go up on Meetup first.
New dates are on the way.
Webinars
Learn online, between conferences
The months between meetups, and the miles between here and the rest of the Southeast.
What they are
Not everyone can get to Raleigh on a Tuesday night, and not every good question can wait for the conference. So we run webinars through the year with The AIE Network: one topic, and someone who has actually shipped the thing.
Each listing below shows its own date and time zone. A replay link appears only once a recording has been published.

Lunch and learns on Meetup
Separate from the webinars, our Meetup group runs online lunch and learns: one practical topic over the lunch hour. They're scheduled on Meetup, so they appear there rather than in the listings above. Watch past sessions below.

Vibe Coding, Take Two: Ship Production Apps
Mark Hinkle, Peripety Labs
Part One built a working web app from a plain-English description. Part Two covers what it takes to ship one people rely on: the software development lifecycle as a business owner's checklist, having AI test and review its own work, version control, and when to bring in a professional.

Build Skills: Teach Your AI Agents How You Work
Mark Hinkle, Peripety Labs
A skill is a reusable playbook: your rules, your voice and your process, written once so your AI applies them every time. The session covers the anatomy of a skill file, skills for yourself versus skills for agents, and chaining skills so a single request runs a whole workflow.

Tokenomics 101: Why Your AI Bill Keeps Climbing
Don Shin, CrossComm
Why the AI bill rises while the plan price holds steady. AI tools bill by the token, and agentic workflows make 10 to 20 times more model calls per run than a single chat. The habits that bring spend down: tighter prompts, caching, and matching the model to the task.

Vibe Coding for Business Users
Mark Hinkle, Peripety Labs
Describe what you want in plain English and let AI write the code. The session goes from an idea to a working web app you own outright: which tools fit which job, how to describe what you mean, and why owning your code beats renting a website builder. No coding experience needed.

Vibe Coding a Website (For Non-Technical Users)
Mark Hinkle, Peripety Labs
From a business idea to a live website in about an hour, without writing code. AI agents handle brand discovery, design, content, contact forms and deployment to Vercel, with SEO, accessibility and security headers built in.

Building Agents with Granite
BJ Hargrave, IBM Research
Build an AI agent from scratch with IBM Granite models, LangGraph and LangChain. The workshop starts with a function-calling agent, then works through the designs IBM teams use: Plan-and-Solve, Route-and-Solve, ToolRAG and ReAct. Run with IBM, All Things Open and The AIE Network.

Why Your Copilot Licenses Are Collecting Dust (And How to Fix It)
Most companies that roll out Copilot see 5 to 10 percent adoption. The session covers the three failure patterns that stall it, the five levels of Copilot maturity, diagnostic questions for your own rollout, and how to choose a first workflow worth automating.

Manus AI: Automating Workflows for Meta's New Agentic Platform
Meta bought Manus for $2 billion in December 2025. The session shows workflows refined in months of production use: brand-matched decks from a template and an outline, Wide Research with parallel agents, context compaction for long projects, and where Manus falls short.

Stop Using LLMs for Everything: A Guide to Private AI Models
Generative AI shouldn't be the hammer for every nail. Pair fast specialist models, ModernBERT for classification and Isolation Forests for anomaly detection, with local LLMs and computer vision, and build private agents that run on consumer hardware without touching the cloud.
