About

AI on BI is a monthly meetup for Bainbridge Island professionals who are actively exploring, building, and thinking seriously about artificial intelligence. The series features expert presentations, live demos from local AI builders, and networking with the sharpest technical minds on the island.

You'll hear directly from local builders who are demonstrating real projects they're working on with AI, giving you a ground-level view of how people in our community are using these tools today. You'll also have dedicated time to meet and connect with other Bainbridge Island professionals who are navigating the AI landscape alongside you. 

In this session, Matt Williams, founding team member at Ollama talks about the history of Ollama, why they built it, what the original goals were, and open source's role in AI.

• What you'll use: Your curiosity and your phone or laptop. No special equipment required. Just be ready to ask questions.
