Where AI leaves the cloud and builds the real world.
The Largest Dedicated Physical AI Community
Physical AI Builders spans Silicon Valley, Austin, and Dallas — rapidly expanding coast-to-coast. Founded in 2008, we rebranded in September 2025 with a clear conviction.
Builders, operators, and investors shaping embodied intelligence needed a dedicated, high-signal home. In five months, we became the go-to ecosystem.
With 18+ years of history — including hosting the world's first Android, HTML5, Chrome, and Google Watch hackathons — our community delivers legacy trust and fresh momentum.
Backed by Giants
Google, Samsung, T-Mobile, and other industry leaders have supported our events and hackathons since the beginning.
Fresh Momentum
The rebrand unlocked explosive growth across three metro areas and online channels.
