Join us for an evening of in-progress demos, speculative tools, and design experiments from across the AIR community and beyond. This is not about finished products or five-year roadmaps—it’s about sharing the messy, creative middle of the work. Think: fast, loose, low-stakes.

Expect a mix of designers, technologists, and artists testing new interfaces, prototyping new rituals, and building tools that reflect a more human, culture-shaped approach to AI.

• Five-minute demos, provocations, and explorations
  
• Ideas that don’t always fit in a deck (and aren’t trying to)
  
• Room to think out loud, ask questions, and meet collaborators

The lineup is set. Just come ready to listen. Speakers include:

• Neha Halebeed
  
• Jonnie Hallman
  
• Wendy Wei
  
• Louise Macfadyen
  
• James Steinberg
  
• ...and perhaps one more, TBD!

AIR (AI Residency) is a NYC-based accelerator backing design-led consumer AI startups. We support early-stage teams building products that feel novel, human, and emotionally resonant.
