Getting Started

What is The Generative Beings (TGB)?
The Generative Beings is an AI community and platform for founders, builders, experts, and companies who want to learn, build, grow, and get discovered. We bring the ecosystem together through events, product listings, jobs, resources, projects, and communities — across Asia and beyond.
Who is TGB for?
TGB is for AI founders, builders, engineers, experts, operators, students, and companies who want to participate meaningfully in the AI ecosystem — through community, discovery, learning, hiring, and go-to-market support.
Is TGB only for people in Asia?
No. While we're focused on the Asia AI ecosystem — especially Singapore, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand — the platform is open and relevant globally. We have members from 100+ countries, and our online events and resources are accessible from anywhere.
Is TGB free to join?
Yes. Membership is free — no credit card required. Some events may be ticketed and certain GTM or visibility packages are paid, but joining the platform and creating your profile is always free.
How do I sign up for TGB?
Click "Join TGB" on any page and sign in with Google, LinkedIn, or a one-time link sent to your email. Once you're in, complete your profile and start exploring members, events, products, jobs, resources, projects, and communities.
Can students or AI beginners join TGB?
Absolutely. TGB is open to anyone with a genuine interest in AI — students, early-career builders, and experienced professionals alike. You don't need years of experience to join, attend events, list a project, or connect with the community.

Membership & Profiles

Why should I create a TGB profile?
Your profile is how founders, companies, collaborators, and other builders discover you. A complete profile — with your role, skills, projects, and interests — makes you visible to a growing community of AI professionals actively exploring the platform.
What can I do with the Members directory?
You can discover people across the AI ecosystem, browse by role or interest, save profiles you want to revisit, and identify potential collaborators, co-founders, or experts to connect with.
Who should have a public TGB profile?
Anyone active in the AI ecosystem — founders, builders, engineers, experts, students, operators, recruiters, and community leaders. A profile becomes even more valuable when you also list a project, product, job, event, or community alongside it.
How do I get discovered on TGB?
The best way is to have a complete profile and actively contribute to the platform — by listing a product, project, job, event, or resource. The more you put on the platform, the more visible you become across the community.
