Seattle AI Meetup - Post Alley

Monthly Seattle AI meetup organized by Expo.dev's Dan, held Downtown in Post Alley. Evolved from a React/mobile meetup when every talk became an AI talk — now covers practical AI use cases, experiments, and tools for builders.

Why it matters

Seattle hosts major AI platform teams at Amazon and Microsoft plus a dense startup layer. This meetup pivoted organically to AI, meaning the room skews toward practitioners building on top of AI APIs every day.

The tokenmaxxing angle

A community that pivoted from React to AI because that's where building happened will have strong opinions on what AI tools cost and whether they're worth it. Practical cost-vs-value signal from a technically deep, non-hype crowd.

From the organizers

Organizer Dan from Expo.dev notes the meetup originally focused on React/mobile apps, then pivoted fully to AI because every talk became about AI — hosted monthly in Downtown Seattle's Post Alley neighborhood.
