Practical AI · Private Slack
A small, invite-only Slack. For builders.
A community for engineers, designers, founders, product folks, and solo operators putting AI into real work.
Builders comparing notes on real work — what shipped, what broke, and the tradeoffs along the way. Skeptical of hype, serious about craft.
Request an inviteWeekly Ritual
Friday Ship Thread
Every week, members post what they shipped, broke, or learned. Small counts. Rough counts. The thing you tried that didn't work counts.
Real Work
Production problems, openly
Screenshots, benchmarks, postmortems, tradeoffs. The kind of detail you'd share with a teammate over coffee — what held up, what didn't, and what you'd do differently.
Tools & Workflows
What's holding up in your stack
Claude Code, Cursor, local LLMs, evals, architectures. What you're using, why, and the parts that bite once they hit production.
Resident Agent
Envoy, in the workspace
An AI agent who runs the rituals, surfaces resources, and reacts in threads. A community about applied AI running on AI — on purpose.
Engineers, designers, founders, and solo builders putting AI into real products and workflows.
Members tend to be working practitioners with active projects. Curated manually, one introduction at a time. No vendor pitches, no recruiter DMs — there are better channels for both.

Tell me a bit about what you're building.
Each request gets reviewed personally. If we're a fit, you'll hear back within a week with a Slack invite.
Three short fields. Just enough to get a read on fit — no application essay required.
// Run by Damian Galarza. Invite-only, no paid tier (yet).
