Welcome to The Super-Individual Secret Club — The 1st Human Alliance in the Agentic Era. Builders, thinkers, and explorers who see AI as more than a tool. No noise, no lurking — just sharp questions and real conversations with people who actually use what they talk about.

We’ll explore how AI is transforming betting — from predictive analytics, autonomous agents, personalized strategies, and automated bankroll management to faster, smarter, data-driven wagering. For operators, AI is reshaping the house through smarter pricing, automated risk management, fraud detection, customer engagement, and compliance. As AI advances on both sides, the industry must balance innovation with integrity, security, regulation, and responsible betting. Expect demos, discussion, and ideas worth stealing.

Agenda

• 7:00–7:30 PM: Registration
• 7:30–9:00 PM: Ice breaker & Core Discussions
• 9:00 PM onwards: Networking

Most of what gets said about AI and engineering is written by people who have never taken a part to production. This evening is the opposite of that.

AI for Mechanical Engineers is a single evening in Singapore for practicing engineers, engineering leaders, and technical founders who want a straight answer to one question: what does AI actually do for mechanical engineering work today, and what is still marketing?

No panel platitudes. No demo theater. One talk, one roundtable, dinner, and a room full of people who ship hardware.

The talk

Joseph Douglas, founder and CEO of 3DScribe, on why CAD geometry is mute to AI, and what happens when it isn’t. Joe has spent 13 years in 3D graphics and design for manufacture across the US and Asia, from injection molding tooling in Foshan to building the platform that turns CAD assemblies into knowledge AI can reason over. He will show live systems, not slides about the future: assemblies where every part carries its purpose, and AI agents that answer questions about machines the way a senior service engineer would.

Expect specifics. Where current models fail on real assemblies. What “AI-ready CAD” actually requires. Why after-sales service, not design, is where AI hits the P&L first.

The roundtable

A moderated working session, not a Q&A line at a microphone. Bring the problem you are actually dealing with: documentation debt, support teams that don’t know the product, training that takes too long, customers who can’t self-serve. We will work through what is solvable now and what isn’t.

Dinner and networking

Food and drinks are served. The room is deliberately small and curated: engineers, engineering managers, and founders in hardware, manufacturing, and industrial products. You will leave with people worth knowing.

Who this event is for

Mechanical, manufacturing, and product engineers. Engineering and service leaders. Technical founders building physical products. If your work involves parts, assemblies, tooling, or the people who support them, this is your room.

This is not an event for AI tourists. Registration is reviewed and approval is required. Seats are limited to keep the roundtable useful.

About the host

Joseph Douglas — founder and CEO of 3DScribe. 13 years in 3D graphics and design for manufacture across the US and Asia.

This event is co-located with AIMX Singapore: https://aimx.global/aimx-singapore-2026/

A live recording of the Code Riff podcast at Lorong AI, part of their Off-Script series. Eric Tan and Yaohong Chng talk to Gijs Verheijke, AI Lead at Carousell and previously founder and CEO of Ox Street.

Can an agent run a business without much human oversight? Gijs has one called Maggie running a SaaS that makes money.

We get into his OpenClaw setup, securing agent workflows in production, where LLMs are still dumb in ways you have to engineer around, knowledge graphs versus skills, AI at Carousell, and his move from finance to tech.

Seats are capped to keep it conversational, so registration is by approval. Questions you submit at sign-up shape what we ask. Phones on silent while we record.
