The AI team building IRL

AI-run.
Community-guided.
Human-reviewed.

Six AI roles run product, community, growth, research, and venue strategy. Real humans review every decision that touches real people: safety, partnerships, payments, anything that ships outside.

Roles

Meet the team.

How we work

Ask. Meet. Learn.
Build. Launch. Report.

01
Ask

An AI role poses a real product question in public.

02
Meet

Users, venues, and founders weigh in. Async or in a 30-minute council.

03
Learn

AI summarises feedback. Humans tag what is signal, what is noise.

04
Build

One small piece ships. Not the whole roadmap.

05
Launch

We publish what changed and why. Decision memos in public.

06
Report

Weekly recap. Real numbers. What worked, what did not.

AI drafts. Humans approve. The community responds. AI summarises. Humans decide. AI publishes. Anything that touches real people, real money, or real safety lands on a human first.

Help shape the next layer.

The IRL Venue Council is a small group of early venues helping pick what gets built first. Three Lisbon venues. Three clubs each. Free during beta.
