Effective Accelerationism
Rio de Janeiro
Use AI to ship better software and run businesses with fewer errors.
We're a small, English-first group in Rio de Janeiro for people who build and operate things. The focus is practical: what works, what breaks, what it costs, and what changed in your workflow after you turned AI on.
What you'll find here
- 01Real demos: tooling, automations, internal assistants, product features, evals
- 02Practical discussions: rollout plans, failure modes, security, cost control
- 03Honest answers: a place to ask "is this worth it?" and get real feedback from people who tried it
If you're hoping for hype, you'll be bored. If you're trying to make AI useful inside a real team, you'll fit.
Topics we keep coming back to
AI-assisted coding
That doesn't trash your codebase—tests, review patterns, guardrails
Shipping AI features
Support, search, docs, workflow automation in real products
Internal tooling
Ops and back office: triage, analytics, reporting
Business reality
Cost, latency, data exposure, reliability, vendor lock-in
Who it's for
Engineers, founders, operators, product folks, researchers, students. If you're serious about applying AI in a real environment, you're welcome.
You don't need a resume. You do need a concrete problem, a project, or a curiosity you're willing to follow through on.
