Welcome to the BrainDrive Community Development Forum!
Community isn’t just a part of BrainDrive—it is BrainDrive.
Unlike Big Tech, where AI is built behind closed doors and controlled by a few, BrainDrive is built by and for its owners. This means our biggest advantage isn’t just better technology, it’s a thriving, engaged community working together to shape the future of user-owned AI.
We appreciate and value every contribution, big or small.
To make the most of your time here, we recommend following these steps:
Step 1: Review Background Info
Start by understanding how everything fits together:
- Review the What is BrainDrive? post covering our mission, vision, pillars, and core community members.
- Read the Community Overview & Plan to see how we grow together.
- Check the Community Roadmap to see upcoming goals and initiatives.
Step 2: Get Involved
There are many ways to actively shape the community:
- Participate – Join discussions in the forums, Reddit, YouTube, and Discord, or wherever people are talking about user-owned AI.
- Recruit – Help spread awareness by introducing BrainDrive to people who value AI ownership.
- Welcome – Engage with new members, answer questions, and help them get started.
- Share – Document your BrainDrive journey (successes, challenges, and insights) both here and on your social channels.
- Highlight – Identify areas for improvement and propose them for the community roadmap.
- Improve – Take action by contributing to guides, documentation, and support initiatives identified on the Community Roadmap.
- Organize – Set up local meetups, online events, and workshops for those interested in user-owned AI.
**Why Community Matters **
AI is changing the world. But who owns AI will define the future.
With Big Tech, AI ownership means centralized control, ecosystem lock-ins, and profit-driven restrictions.
With BrainDrive, AI ownership means freedom, empowerment, and a community-driven future where individuals—not corporations—define how AI works.
This community is BrainDrive’s strength. Together, we are building an ecosystem that ensures AI serves its owners, not the other way around.
Post and let us know what you’re working on! Whether it’s welcoming new members, sharing your experiences, or improving BrainDrive, your contributions matter. By sharing, you help others get involved, and we can recognize and support your efforts.
Let’s build the future of AI ownership, together.
