A working hub for the Cape Town AI builder community. Tools, quickstarts, meetup notes — open source, fork freely.
This repo is the front door for everything we share at the AI Exchange. If you are new here, start with one of the quickstarts below — each is a working tool you can deploy in under an hour.
If you build something interesting, open a PR and add it here. The point is to compound: every meetup adds one more thing the next builder can stand on.
| Tool | What it is | Time to deploy | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Erler Brain | Personal AI Assistant on Telegram + WhatsApp + Google Workspace | ~30 min | ~5 EUR/month |
| Sales Leadership Board | Turn CRM call data into individualized SDR coaching | ~1 hour | ~15 EUR/month |
| Build your own Claude Code Skill | Encode your domain expertise as a reusable Claude skill | ~20 min | free |
Your personal Telegram bot that searches your Drive, drafts your emails, and runs on a 5 EUR Lightsail box. Two-model routing keeps API spend low. Hybrid intent detection (regex + Gemini fallback) keeps it snappy.
Pulls calls and emails from Close.com or HubSpot every day. Scores each call across 6 dimensions. Tells each rep what to practice this week. ~15 EUR/month vs. Gong at 9,300 EUR/year for 3 users.
The skills/ folder is a community library of reusable Claude Code Skills.
Drop one into your ~/.claude/skills/ and it loads automatically when relevant.
Currently shipping: example-pricing-coach (template) and anti-ai-voice (strip AI-tells from external copy). Add yours via PR, see skills/README.md.
Notes from past sessions live in meetup-notes/.
Template: meetup-notes/README.md. Add yours after each session.
How to add quickstarts, skills, or meetup notes: CONTRIBUTING.md. Community norms: CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md.
The bar is intentionally low: under-30-minute deploy, under-100-EUR/month cost, sanitized of any client data, MIT or similar license.
