What is WeekendAI?
A movement for AI builders and leaders — in Asia and beyond.
We started as a weekend reading list and turned into a home. Today, WeekendAI is where practitioners learn, build and ship, and where leaders sharpen the strategy they actually deploy on Monday.
Altaf Rehmani
Founder
Built by a practitioner, for practitioners.
Altaf has been shipping AI in finance and tech for over a decade. WeekendAI is the resource he wished existed when he started — written from inside the work, not above it.
