The AI Collective Runs on Lamatic

Overview

When the world’s largest AI community—120,000+ researchers, engineers, founders, and operators—set out to build its global operating system, its leadership brought something rare to the table: hands-on experience with every major AI platform, agent framework, automation tool, and workflow engine available today.

They didn’t just understand all the options. They had used them. And after considering all the options, they bought Lamatic.

AIC decided to build its operating system on Lamatic because it was the only platform agile and scalable enough to support such a fast-moving, diverse and globally distributed organization.

Today, Lamatic is the operating backbone of The AI Collective—a fact that signals to builders everywhere: the people that know best, build on Lamatic.

The Challenge

AIC brings together researchers, founders, investors, and enthusiasts through:

• 850+ global events
• 120,000+ members
• 400+ active volunteers
• Chapters in 30+ countries

With a 100:1 volunteer-to-staff ratio, AIC operates at a scale no traditional organization can handle manually. Specific challenges include …

1. Extreme Scale, Volunteer Staff
   Enable 400+ volunteers in over 30 countries with powerful and intuitive tools.
2. Many Chapters, One Platform
   Give every chapter autonomy - with shared context, tooling and quality.
3. Overwhelming Demand
   Action a spiky flow of inbounds that greatly exceeds the team's capacity.
4. Future-Proof Flexibility
   Vendor agnostic to quickly support new requirements - with any technology.

“With a 100-to-1 volunteer-to-staff ratio, we needed a system that could centralize everything and scale with us. Lamatic was the only platform that could do that.”  - AJ Green, Founding Director of Growth

The Solution

Why AIC Chose Lamatic

1. Built by Builders
   “When I first used Lamatic, I could tell immediately it was built by builders. It’s the only platform that covers the full lifecycle of building with AI in one place.”
2. Centralized
   "As a global volunteer organization, fragmentation is fatal."
   Lamatic centralizes AIC’s data, workflows and operating system into a single platform.
3. Unlimited Scale
   "Our compounding growth requires a platform that ships and scales globally with ease."
   Serverless edge architecture and supervisor-agent orchestration make it possible.
4. Vendor Agnostic
   "Our partners span the AI ecosystem."
   Lamatic allows AIC to support them all.
   
5. ‍A Philosophical Match
   "Our mission is to drive collective progress."
   Lamatic turns domain experts into AI builders—without traditional engineering bottlenecks.‍
   

Lamatic now powers critical AIC operations, including:

Partnership & Revenue Operations

AIC used Lamatic to build a fully automated partnership pipeline that:

• enriches inbound leads
  
  
• conducts deep research
  
  
• generates personalized outreach
  
  
• runs drip sequences
  
  
• updates CRM
  
  
• keeps all conversations active

This system delivered what no human team could.

“We had so much inbound demand it was impossible for humans to manage. Lamatic became the catalyst that allowed us to close more partnerships than ever before.”   - AJ Green

Chapter Operations & Onboarding

Lamatic powers workflows for:

• onboarding new chapters
  
  
• coordinating volunteers
  
  
• managing event processes
  
  
• distributing context and updates
  

Turning Experts Into Builders

AIC’s chapters include philosophers, ethicists, educators, policy experts—people with deep expertise but no coding background. Lamatic lets them build their own tools.

“The most transformative thing Lamatic unlocks is turning subject-matter experts into builders. That’s the future of AI and Lamatic is making that future real inside AIC.”  - AJ Green

The Impact

1. Hypergrowth Without Hiring
   Lamatic enabled growth that would've required many more people.
   “The only way we could handle our explosive demand was to augment our operations with AI—and Lamatic was absolutely critical in doing that.”   - AJ Green
2. Zero Backlogs
   With Lamatic, AIC’s partnership pipeline went from overwhelmed to fully caught up, with every conversation current.
   
3. Global Consistency With Local Autonomy
   Chapters can operate independently without sacrificing quality or coordination.
   
4. Faster Innovation
   AIC can ship in hours, not weeks—with Lamatic’s unified platform.

‍“What If Lamatic Disappeared Tomorrow?”

“Everything would stop ... we’d have to hire more people, rebuild entire systems, and dramatically increase our workload. We would be—excuse my French—shit out of luck.”   - AJ Green (you’re excused AJ 😉)

What’s Next

AIC is expanding its Lamatic implementation to power:

• new chapter coordination systems
  
  
• AI-assisted onboarding
  
  
• member-facing intelligence products
  
  
• education and research tools built directly by experts
  
  
• global operational infrastructure for 200,000+ members
