The Lab / Always On / Alumni Community
Founding rate ends May 31

The Lab. The room you stay in.

AIBL alumni asked for a place to keep building together after the cohorts end. The Lab is that place. Weekly live sessions, recorded library, private Slack, vendor bundles. Always on, always available.


WHAT'S INSIDE

A weekly rhythm. A growing library. A real community.

The Lab is structured around two live sessions a week, plus an always-on layer of recordings, Slack, and vendor partnerships. Members come for the live sessions and stay for the back-channel.

The weekly schedule

Thursdays
2 PM CDT, 90 minutes

8D Sessions.

Team-driven topics one week, open office hours the next. Bring what you are stuck on, leave with a path. Hard stop at 90 minutes so you can plan around it.

Fridays
2 PM CDT, 90 minutes

Demo Day and Expert Rotation.

Weeks 1 and 3: internal demos from members shipping real work. Weeks 2 and 4: outside experts we invite in. The cadence keeps the community pulling forward instead of looping in place.

Always on

LIBRARY

Every session recorded.

Live is best. But life gets in the way. Every 8D Session and every Demo Day is recorded and indexed in the Lab library. Searchable. Always on.

SLACK

Private Lab channel.

Members get access to a private Slack channel inside the AIBL workspace. Plus the alumni Slack for cohort cross-pollination. Async support, member-to-member help, no LinkedIn cosplay.

BUNDLES

Vendor bundles.

Discounts and credits we negotiate with the tools you use every day. New bundles posted as we sign them. Real money savings, not marketing fluff.

PRIORITY

First access to Camp.

Lab members get early enrollment windows for Agent Native Summer Camp, Trade School, and any new AIBL programs we launch. The community gets the green light first.

WHY BUILD THIS NOW

The cohort ends. The work does not.

AIBL has graduated 400+ founders and operators across Foundations, DocGen, the Build Lab, and the Workshops. After Week 6 ends, the Slack stays warm but the structure is gone. The Lab is the structure that picks up where the cohort drops off.

PROBLEM

Momentum dies after the cohort.

You finish Foundations or a Workshop with energy. Two weeks later you are back in your inbox. The Lab is the rhythm that keeps you building.

PROBLEM

Solo builds get stale.

Building agents alone is hard. You miss patterns. You over-engineer. The 8D Sessions are where you bring what you are stuck on and leave with a sharper path.

PROBLEM

Tools change weekly.

Claude ships, n8n updates, MCP standards shift. Lab members get the new patterns surfaced in real time, plus vendor bundles on the tools we land on.


WHO THIS IS FOR

AIBL alumni and serious operators.

YES

AIBL alumni.

You have been through Foundations, DocGen, the Accelerator, or one of our Workshops. The Lab is the rung above. Your founding-rate lock is the loyalty discount.

YES

Operators in our network.

You have worked with us, with our students, or you found us through someone who has. The Lab is open to you, founding rate included.

YES

Builders ready to ship monthly.

Demo Days expect you to bring something. Not a slide. A working build. The Lab is for people who like that pressure.

NOT YET

Brand new to AI.

If you have not started building yet, our free Lightning Lessons or the 1-Day Workshops are the right entry point first.

Live sessions start the week of July 13, 2026.

Sign up today, lock the $99 founding rate, and we'll send onboarding details and your private Lab Slack invite the week before launch. Card collected at signup, no charge until July 13.

The Lab (you are here).

Always-on alumni community. $99 founding rate through May 31. $149 after.
