Build one that thinks ahead, not just reacts.Adjourned with: “Thinking is hard. Topic generation doesn’t have to be. ”See you at the next meeting.

Welcome to the AI Builders Club.
Yeah, it’s a podcast, but it’s also a workshop, a group chat, and your new favorite corner of the internet if you’re trying to build quality automations with AI. This isn’t a snake oil “prompts that print money” operation. It’s hands-on agentic workflows, pro tips, and real talk from two cofounders in the trenches building a new no-code automation platform.
Each week, Aaron Dignan and Chase Adams take on one real-world mess, like inbox chaos, scrambled meeting prep, or clunky client proposals, and walk through how they’d build an AI workflow to fix it. They share the tools, the thought process, the rough edges, and the “okay-but-would-this-actually-work?” moments. At the end of every episode, you’ll have a complete mental model for how to build these flows yourself. And, you’ll stay ahead of the curve with real-time insights on the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
If you’re the one who’s always trying to make things run smoother, faster, or better, you’ll feel right at home here. This is a club for the 10,000 builders who will help the next 10 million people leverage AI to the fullest.
