EXPLORE OUR PROGRAMS AND EVENTS

Most lunch-and-learns leave you inspired but not equipped. HOTA was built to fix that.

Human Orchestrated Tools and Agents is the Austin AI Alliance’s hands-on Saturday training program. Each session focuses on one tool, one skill, or one workflow — with enough time to actually learn it, practice it, and ask real questions. No rushed demos. No passive slide decks. No death by PowerPoint.

These are paid, small-format sessions designed for professionals who are serious about building real AI skills. You’ll work alongside peers who are figuring out the same challenges you are, guided by practitioners who use these tools every day.

Innovation Spotlights bring together the Austin AI Alliance community each month — where two members take the stage to share their expertise, experiences, and insights on AI. From practical applications to emerging trends, every session delivers a fresh perspective straight from the people doing the work across Austin’s AI ecosystem. It’s one part networking, one part education, and completely community-driven.

Each Innovation Spotlight includes dinner, open networking, and reverse pitches — where members share what they’re working on, looking for, or offering to the community.

These spotlight sessions are free to attend and open to both members and non-members.

Austin’s annual gathering for AI leaders, innovators, educators, and community stakeholders — where data meets dialogue and local impact gets recognized.

Held each January, the State of AI in Austin is the Austin AI Alliance’s flagship annual event. Each year we bring together 200+ professionals for an afternoon of research insights, expert panels, and live innovation showcases. The program draws from our annual State of AI Report — a data-driven analysis of AI trends, workforce impacts, and community applications shaping Austin and beyond.

Each year, the Austin AI Alliance recognizes organizations and individuals advancing responsible, human-centered AI across Central Texas

Presented annually, the AI Excellence Awards honor the people and organizations translating AI innovation into real-world impact — across research, workforce development, ethical practice, and community benefit. Recipients are selected by an independent panel of Austin-based judges following a competitive evaluation of submissions from across the region.
