AI Tinkerers Asunción: March Build Night
🛠️ Real AI Demos. No Slides. Just Code.
AI Tinkerers Asunción is a community for those actively building with foundation models and generative AI. We prioritize technical depth, hands-on experimentation, and the “Homebrew Computer Club” ethos. This is a space to show what you are building, share messy architectural challenges, and connect with other practitioners in Paraguay.
Registration is required and space is limited to 150 builders. Our events reach capacity quickly.

🎙️ Show Your Work
We are looking for builders to demo their latest projects. Whether it is a specialized RAG implementation, an autonomous agent workflow using OpenClaw, or a custom fine-tuning experiment, we want to see the internals.
What makes a great demo?
- Show, Don’t Tell: Run your project live. No slide decks allowed.
- Expose the Internals: Share your stack, prompt strategies, and what broke along the way.
- Teach, Don’t Sell: Focus on the technical “how” rather than a product pitch.
Who is this for?
This event is curated for active practitioners. We screen all registrations to maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio.
- ✅ Welcome: Engineers, researchers, and founders shipping AI software.
- 🚫 Not a fit: Recruiters, marketers, or those looking for a general AI overview.
📍 Venue & Location
The meetup will be held at the Centro Paraguayo-Japonés in Asunción. To maintain the quality of the session, the exact room and entry details will be sent only to confirmed and approved attendees.

- Demos: 4 demos have been submitted and 3 have been presented. The most exciting themes have centered on building AI-enabled communities and scaling leadership (Tomás Arribas), delivering immediately useful free private AI agents for daily productivity (Luis Yorgenis Orna Rodriguez), and engineering developer workflows for parallel agent work using Git worktrees (Tomás Arribas, multiple areas).
- Testimonials:
A great AI demo for this kind of Build Night is one that is live, technical in the “how,” and immediately legible within a five-minute window: it should show working prototypes or workflows (no slide-deck pitch), clearly communicate the practical purpose, and share controllable build details such as the technical stack, prompt strategies, and architectural trade-offs. Evidence from the highest-rated feedback suggests that engagement improves when speakers create an early hook and use an understandable progression (even story-like framing) so late arrivers can still follow and stay interested. To avoid weaker outcomes, speakers should not over-index on general motivation or abstract ideas; instead, they should demonstrate something the audience can see, reason about, and potentially reproduce, and keep the narrative anchored to the build steps rather than drifting into product marketing.
In Asuncion, Tomás Arribas presented “Construyendo una comunidad de IA: Lecciones desde AI Tinkerers Ámsterdam”. What people liked (based on the only comment) was that the talk was engaging even for someone who arrived halfway: “Llegué como a la mitad pero muy interesante la historia.” The talk’s focus on real lessons learned from growing a community likely provided a strong narrative structure that kept attention. Also in Asuncion, Tomás Arribas’s “Parallelizing Agents with Git Worktrees” aligns with the kind of “how-focused” demo the event is seeking: it shows how to run multiple agents in parallel using isolated Git worktrees, emphasizing practical workflow benefits (less conflict, fewer context switches). Finally, Luis Yorgenis Orna Rodriguez’s “Demostración en vivo: tu propio agente privado con IA (gratis)” in Asuncion is built around accessible, live utility—generating notebooks, tasks, events, reminders, and documents quickly—matching the audience preference for tangible outcomes in a short session.
