Not another AI community
Independent & unbiased
We don't sell vendor software. Our research is funded by the community, not by the companies we evaluate.
Data-first, not opinion-first
Quarterly buyer surveys across hundreds of enterprises. Real spend data, real satisfaction scores, real switching intent.
Practitioners, not influencers
Every member is building, deploying, or buying AI in their organization. We vet applications to keep it that way.
Actionable research
Not 200-page PDFs you'll never read. Interactive reports, vendor scorecards, and heat indexes you can use in your next budget meeting.
Curated, not open
We review every application. No vendor sales reps, no recruiters, no self-promoters. Signal over noise.
In-person by default
Quarterly events in NYC and SF with 30 people max. Real relationships, not LinkedIn connection spam.
