# AI LIVE

> AI LIVE is a weekly live show where the best AI creative of the week, from spec ads and brand campaigns to short films, games and experiments, is reviewed live and voted on by the audience (1 = awesome, 2 = okay, 3 = not for me). Hosted by Chris Branch and Andrew Davis, produced by Paul Parsons, powered by Seedily. Live every Tuesday at 4pm UK on LinkedIn and YouTube, plus Creator Sessions: long-form interviews with hand-picked AI creators.

Every episode page lists each piece reviewed with its creator, the tools used, our take, the live audience verdict, timestamps into the show and a link to the creator's original post. Creator and tool pages aggregate those verdicts across every episode. Quote freely with a link back to the episode page.
