AI That Works is a monthly meetup for anyone building with AI in Austin: developers, founders, operators, go-to-market teams, and the AI-curious. Every session includes live demos from people shipping real use cases, a hands-on build, and honest conversations about what's actually producing results.

We don't care if you're writing code or mostly prompting. If you're putting AI to work on something real, you belong here.

This month

Lovable turns a prompt into a working app. But a GTM tool is only as good as the data behind it, and most vibe-coded apps run on whatever you paste by hand. The lead list is a CSV from last quarter. The competitor tracker is a spreadsheet someone forgot to update. This month, your data comes alive.

You'll see how to build an app in Lovable that pulls live web data from Apify Actors, so the tool your sales or marketing team opens each morning has fresh data waiting.

If you work in sales, marketing, or growth, you'll leave with ideas on how to build tools for your teams. If you're a builder, you'll learn the pattern for wiring an Apify Actor into a Lovable app, which you can reuse for whatever you build next.

How the evening works

We start with the pattern: how a Lovable app calls an Apify Actor, where the API token lives, and how the results come back into your UI.

Then four use cases, each built live:

  • Local lead finder: search Google Maps for businesses by category and city, then filter and export a ready-to-call list.

  • Competitor tracker: watch competitor pricing pages and reviews, and see what changed this week.

  • Account research brief: enter a company's website and get a one-page summary before a sales call.

  • Social listening board: track who's posting about your category on LinkedIn and X, and spot the conversations worth joining.

After that, you build. Pick the use case closest to your own work (or bring your own), build it in Lovable, connect an Apify Actor, and run it on real data. We'll be around to help if you get stuck.

We close with show-and-tell. Anyone who wants to can demo what they built, working or not.

Bring your laptop.

About the host

Apify is a marketplace of ready-to-run tools for AI that automate work on the web. Thousands of Actors get web data, generate leads, monitor social media, track competitors, and integrate with existing apps and agents. Tonight they power the GTM tools you build in Lovable. Beyond that, the evening is yours. Build something, see what others in Austin are shipping, and meet the people putting AI to work.
