# Rally SF

> Rally SF is a community for AI-first builders and operators in San Francisco. We run events, send a Sunday newsletter with a shortlist of AI events in the city worth showing up for, and post talks to YouTube so builders outside SF can stay close to the work happening here.

## About

- [About Rally](https://rallysf.com/about): mission, event formats, and how to participate

## Events

Rally produces several recurring event formats:

- **Builders Night**: a Monday coworking session. Two hours of focused build time, then a share-back round to close.
- **AI Research Circle**: a technical deep-dive on a frontier topic. Recent sessions covered Physical AI and agentic workflows.
- **Building the State of the Art**: practitioners come together to compare notes and walk through what they're actually building.
- **Speaker series**: experts share what they're working on with the community.
