Who's Behind This?
Hi! I'm a local Rapid City small business owner who is deeply fascinated by Artificial Intelligence. While I'm involved in several local networking groups, I've realized there isn't a dedicated space for people actively "tinkering" with AI to share ideas, workflows, and discoveries.
I'm actively learning new tasks using tools like Gemini and Grok. I've set up a local OpenClaw server to experiment with running models at home, and I'm currently having a lot of fun creating avatar-based videos using platforms like HeyGen.
I want to see if others in our area are doing the same. Let's learn from each other!
Let's Build This Together
I'm gauging interest to see if we should start a local "AI Tinkerers" meetup group, or at the very least, spin up a community Discord server where we can share prompts, setups, and local AI news.

Indicate in the form if you'd join a Discord server to chat asynchronously with other local tech enthusiasts.
