TJ Larkin is an AI operator based in Liberty Hill, Texas. He builds AI software, runs a network of newsletters with 145,000+ subscribers, and started Texas AI Lab to close the gap between what AI can do and what most Texas businesses are actually doing with it.
Texas AI Lab is part class, part lab, part watering hole. It is built around real problems, real businesses, and the people running them. The free Zoom clinics every other Thursday are open to anyone in Texas. The in-person meetups happen across Williamson County, Austin, and San Antonio. The paid services are for owners who want a hand putting AI to work in a way they can actually keep up with.
He runs the lab the same way he runs his other work: be useful first, sell second, keep the language plain. Most rooms he is in are full of operators trying to figure out the same things at the same time. Texas AI Lab is the room where they figure it out together.
The pieces below are what he writes when something is worth writing down. New work shows up here and in the Texas AI Lab newsletter.
“Texas-built tools, Texas-sized problems, one room at a time.”
