Start a Peer Group
Can’t find a group that fits your interest? Start one. You can launch on your own, or we can send an OG envoy from the original 8AM AI group to sit in on your first session or two — helping with introductions, format ideas, and facilitation tips.
Not required, just a way to make the first few meetings easier.

Meet the OGs
The founding members of the 8AM AI peer group. They’ve been meeting weekly for over a year and have helped launch several new groups. If you want a hand getting started, they’re happy to help.
David
Founder, Atomic 47 Labs
“We built AI Peers because our 8AM group changed how we work. Now we want to help others experience the same thing.”
James
Engineering Leader
“The first few sessions are the hardest. Having someone who's done it before makes all the difference in setting the right tone.”
Jason
Product & AI Strategy
“I help new groups find their rhythm — what topics to start with, how to keep momentum, and when to let the conversation go deep.”
Jen
Community & Operations
“Starting a peer group can feel daunting. I've helped launch several — from the first invite to the moment it runs itself.”
How It Works
Tell Us About Your Group
Share your vision — the topic, the audience, the cadence. We can help you refine it, or you can dive straight in.
Optional: Meet with an OG First
Want a head start? We can set up a quick call with one of our original 8AM AI members to talk through format, topics, and what's worked for us.
Optional: OG Envoy at Your Launch
If it would help, an OG can sit in on your first session or two — helping with introductions, setting the tone, and sharing facilitation tips. No obligation.
Make It Yours
Once your group has its rhythm, you own it completely — the sessions, the knowledge graph, the culture. We're always a message away if you need us.
What an OG Sponsor Can Bring
- A pre-launch call to talk through your group concept and format
- An OG envoy at your first session or two (if you'd like one)
- Agenda templates and discussion formats that work
- Introductions to potential members in your field
- Help setting up your Google Drive, calendar, and AI pipeline
- Access to the 8AM AI knowledge base for inspiration
Get Started
Tell us about the group you want to start. We’ll reach out to help however makes sense — whether that’s a quick call, an OG at your first session, or just some templates.
