The Generative Beings

Joining TGB costs nothing and takes a few clicks through Google, LinkedIn, or a one-time email link. Once you are in, a complete profile with your role, skills, and projects makes you discoverable to founders, companies, and collaborators who are browsing the members directory. The platform treats visibility as the reward for participation: the more you list and contribute, the more the community sees you.

Founders can list an AI product or startup for free, and approved listings are visible to the whole community. Builders get the same deal for side projects, including hackathon builds and unfinished ideas, with an option to flag a project as open to collaborators. This keeps the barrier to entry low, which matters for a platform trying to grow a field rather than gatekeep it.

TGB runs events regularly and lets the community submit its own. The format mix spans masterclasses, hackathons, demo days, workshops, founder spotlights, and panel sessions. Many events are free, while others are ticketed, and each event page states its price and format before you register. For a founder, a demo day is a direct route to early customers; for an expert, a masterclass is a way to build a following.

The Jobs section lists AI and machine learning roles across Southeast Asia, covering engineering, research, product, and operator positions. Posting a job is free for companies, and job seekers get an AI-specific board rather than a generic one, which means the roles on it are usually relevant. Hiring managers also browse member profiles, so a strong listing helps on both sides.

The Resources section collects courses, papers, tools, and guides, and members can add what they have found useful. The company frames it as reflecting what actually works in AI right now, sourced from the community instead of a single editorial team. For anyone learning, it saves the work of sifting through search results.

For AI companies and brands, TGB positions itself as a community-led growth engine. That covers event sponsorship, co-hosting, brand visibility, and campaigns aimed at founders and decision makers. The pitch is that adoption comes through the community rather than through paid ads alone, which is a different route from a standard marketing channel.

Beyond the main sections, TGB lets members list and join AI communities organized around shared interests, geographies, or goals. Existing groups can surface themselves through the platform, which makes it easier for newcomers to find the right corner of the space instead of starting cold.
