Applied AI Club

Applied AI Club is a free community for operators — product managers, founders, marketers, analysts and other non-engineers — learning to actually build with AI. It was founded in February 2025 by Praveen and Bala, who started building agents with no coding experience and documented everything along the way.

Joining is free. There is no membership fee, no subscription and no paid tier. The only thing asked of members is that they stay curious, participate and add value to the community.

The club runs weekly live sessions (47+ recorded and publicly archived), moderated discussion, cohort-based study groups that end in public Demo Days, and focused bootcamps on specific tools. Members have built and released tools through Labs, maintain the community AI Stack directory of tools with reviews, and share AI roles on the job board.

Members come from companies including Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, Goldman Sachs, Boeing, Visa, Mastercard, Airtel, CRED, Zepto, Paytm, Enphase, Sarvam AI, Blume Ventures and 6sense.

The club is not a course marketplace or a paid learning platform, not a place to market products or recruit, and not aimed at experienced ML engineers. The audience is operators who want to build.
