Python Agentic AI: a free Slack for developers building with AI

Python developers building with LLMs, plus me and Juanjo. The focus is agentic engineering: tool calling, structured outputs, testing around LLMs, and getting agents into production. It's free and open to everyone, not only cohort members.

Channels: #introductions to say hi, #ai for what you're building and what breaks, #books for reading recommendations, #rust for fast and safe code, and #wins for motivation.

Ask about your code

Stuck on tool calling, structured outputs, testing, or deploying? Post the code and the error. You get answers from people who build the same things.

Share what you shipped

A bot that finally works, a test suite that caught a real bug, a pattern you want feedback on. Show it and get a second pair of eyes.

Hear about sessions first

The monthly live sessions are announced here before anywhere else, and you can suggest the topic for the next one.

How we keep it useful

  • Share code and context with your question; a snippet beats a description.
  • Be kind to beginners. Everyone here was one.
  • No recruiting, no cold pitches, no affiliate links.
  • Cohort and 1:1 developers also get private channels; the open channels are for everyone.
