Claude AI meetup in Frisco this week had an awesome turnout from people all across DFW.

Lots of discussion around workflows, agents, automation, and real-world Claude use cases. Really cool seeing builders, founders, engineers, and AI enthusiasts connecting in person.

Next up we’re hosting an meetup in Fort Worth focused on AI coding agents, workflows, and hands-on demos.

After that we will be at the Spark in Arlington (Choctaw stadium)

Feels like the DFW AI community is growing fast.

New Hermes Agent meetup alert!

Join us June 10th at Spark Coworking in Arlington, TX for a deep dive into Hermes Agent — the open-source self-improving AI agent from Nous Research.

🗓 Wed, June 10 | 4–6 PM
📍 Spark Coworking, Arlington, TX

not “prompt engineers”

more like:

• workflow operators
• agent orchestrators
• automation people
• local AI infra nerds

curious how many people in DFW are actually experimenting with this stuff rn vs just talking about AI online

As a quick overview for those asking about Grass: it’s a network that allows users to share unused internet bandwidth in a transparent, opt-in way to support AI development and research, without accessing personal data.

The app runs in the background, and users earn points based on uptime and bandwidth contribution.

The system itself is decentralized, with nodes, routers, and validators verifying activity and converting public web data into structured datasets.

The goal is to shift toward a more user-participatory internet model while maintaining privacy and security standards.

If anyone here is currently running mobile or desktop app feel free to share your experience with the community and other then the airdrop what else would you like to see?

i’ve been using OpenAI tools more heavily lately and keep circling back to the same shift: moving from simple chat use into agentic systems.

Most people still seem to be using it for Q&A or basic content help, but there’s a lot more happening when you start structuring workflows where models can:

• Break tasks into steps
• Use tools / APIs to execute actions
• Handle repetitive business operations
• Support research, messaging, and decision-making in a more automated loop

It feels like the real value isn’t just the model it’s how you design the system around it.

Curious what others are building with OpenAI right now on the agent side. What’s actually working in production or real workflows?

Anyone else in the DFW looking to build and connect?

Been using OpenAI models more lately and it feels like most people are still only scratching the surface. (Only asking questions)

Beyond basic prompting, I’m seeing real potential in agent-based systems:

• Automating repetitive business tasks
• Research + messaging workflows that actually execute steps
• “Thinking partner” agents for planning/strategy
• Discord / small business ops powered by tool-using agents

Big takeaway: it’s less about prompts and more about building structured workflows around the model.

Curious what others in DFW (or elsewhere) are building on the agent side what’s actually working for you?

Been seeing more people in DFW quietly moving into building AI tools and agents for business use automation.

Feels like it’s still early here compared to other tech hubs, but the momentum is definitely picking up. Besides prompting what have you used chat gpt for?

Curious if anyone else in DFW is:

• Building AI agents for business workflows
• Working on local AI startups or side projects
• Learning workflows and setting up agents

Would be interesting to connect with more people actually building instead of just talking about it.

Curious how people here are thinking about Hermes vs OpenClaw in actual use cases.

For those building agents or workflows:

• which one are you leaning toward right now?
• where does each actually shine?
• memory capture

I’ve been testing different setups and it feels like both have strengths depending on what you’re trying to do, but curious what others are seeing in practice.

Also if anyone here is in DFW (Dallas / Fort Worth, would be cool to connect with other local builders working on similar things.

Curious what people here are working on in terms of agents automations, workflows, multi-agent setups, and open claw experience.

I’ve been focused on building and testing different use cases and trying to see what actually works vs just theory.

Also, if anyone here is in DFW), would be cool to connect locally.

LMK what city your from.

I’m based in DFW and have been getting more into building with Open Claw going ham!

Curious if anyone else in the DFW area is working on anything projects, ideas, or even just learning right now.

Would be cool to connect locally and see what people are building maybe create a cool network? lmk WHERE your from below.
