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.
