about this event
One day. One app. Real people should want to use it by 5pm. Most AI demos impress developers. Consumer AI has to impress everyone else: your friends, your parents, the person next to you on the Tube. This is a one-day hackathon for building AI products that ordinary people would actually open twice.
What to build: anything consumer — social and messaging, creativity, voice, companions, learning, shopping, games, travel, dating, everyday life. Projects are judged on how much a real person would want it, not how clever the stack is.
The day: 10:00am: doors, breakfast and team forming 10:30am: kick-off, briefs and the rules 11:00am: hacking (lunch at 1pm) 4:30pm: submissions close 5:00pm: live demos 6:00pm: judging, winners and drinks until 7pm
The rules: start from scratch on the day. Teams of up to four, or hack solo. Bring a laptop and charger. Food and drinks are on us. Prizes to be announced.
Who it's for: developers, designers, product people and founders who like shipping fast. Beginners are welcome if you can build something by the end of the day.
Hosted by Encode Club at Encode Hub, London's AI centre in Shoreditch (41 Pitfield Street, London N1 6DA). Free to attend. Spaces are limited and every registration is reviewed by the team, so you'll hear from us once you're approved.
