About Start My AI

Live AI builds run every week, covering apps, automations and new model releases, and members can build a free app alongside the streams.[1] Members can bring what they are stuck on to the livestreams and post finished projects under Wins.[1] The group says it is not a room for making money with AI but one for builders.[1]

The engineer also livestreams AI builds on YouTube.[2] Ray Fernando's site, rayfernando.ai, cites 12 years building Apple's user experiences and carries founder interviews, AI development tutorials, a GPT from Scratch with MLX series, the AI Tech Salon and a newsletter.[3] A second site, startmy.ai, published by Ray Fernando, LLC, offers workshops, deep dives and walkthroughs on setting up AI agents, with a focus on OpenClaw, and a free email list for news of workshops and live builds.[4]
