AI Dojo 🥋 April 10

15 years ago, at Runroom we started hosting the first coding dojos in Barcelona. For years we were the home of the monthly katas: an open space to practice, share, and learn in community through code.

What is an AI Dojo?

An AI Dojo is a practical meeting inspired by coding dojos.

For a few hours, we gather to explore and solve a real challenge using AI tools:

• we prototype ideas
• we build small systems (RAG, agents, workflows…)
• we iterate prompts
• we connect tools
• we share learnings, mistakes, and discoveries

It's not a class.
There are no “experts” and “students.”
It's a space for collective learning.

Not just for technical profiles

AI is changing how we think, design, communicate, and make decisions.

That's why this dojo is designed for anyone curious and eager to practice:

• Product Designers
• Product Managers
• Developers
• Marketers
• Content strategists
• Research, innovation, consultancy
• People working with knowledge and complexity

No prior experience is needed.
What is needed is a willingness to participate.

What do we do in a session?

Each session revolves around a specific challenge.

Example:

“Create an assistant that answers questions using real documentation (RAG) and a functional mini app.”

In Randori Kata format, we work on things like:

• defining the problem and context
• deciding what data we need
• creating embeddings and semantic search
• building a RAG flow
• generating responses with sources
• setting up a quick app (for example in Lovable)
• testing, failing, adjusting, and improving

The goal is not “to do it perfectly.”
The goal is to understand it together by trying it out.

AI Dojo Principles

• Learn by sharing
• Build instead of theorizing
• Ask questions without fear
• Iterate quickly
• Make mistakes without drama
• Improve together

This is a place to experiment.

What level do I need?

Any level.

There will be more technical people and others more focused on product, design, or communication. Diversity is part of the value.

The only essentials are: curiosity, respect, and willingness to participate.
