Bench talk
Write to the desk
The quickest way to reach AI-INTERF LLC is a short note describing one problem and the week you would like to sit. We read every message at the Saint Louis desk and we answer with a time or with an honest reason the bench is not the right fit.
Send a bench note
Tell us who you are, what you are building and the one thing that is stuck. Two paragraphs is plenty. We do not use this form to build a mailing list and we do not share it with anyone outside the desk.
Bench questions
Three things teams ask first
What should I bring to an office hour window
Bring the problem, not a deck. The most useful window starts with a diagram on paper and one honest sentence about what is not working. If you have a prototype, bring a laptop that runs it, but a clean question is worth more than a polished screen.
Do you meet teams outside the Saint Louis area
Yes, when the bench has room. Most mentor note runs and review rounds can be held on a call, though the first intake is always better in person. Write to the desk with your location and we will tell you what is possible this season.
Is there a fee to ask a first question
The first office hour window is free for accepted teams. If the work continues into a full placement, the desk agrees scope and terms in writing before any fee is discussed. You will never receive an invoice for a message you sent through this form.
