Join us at AI Engine: Summer Hack!

The best way to spend your summer weekend of August 2nd and 3rd ๐Ÿ˜Ž

๐Ÿš€ Calling all AI builders, hackers & startup crews: the AI Engine: Summer Hack is ON! ๐Ÿš€

We know you just want the luma link, please apply through here: https://lu.ma/edovbkm4

Dawn Capital, Crane Venture Partners, Chapter One and an incredible line-up of industry partners are joining forces to host a two-day AI hackathon on August 2nd & 3rd!

What to Expect

We heard you last time, and we are excited to extend this into a two-day hackathon. You should be as serious about building as we are about organising events ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

Weโ€™re excited to host 150 hackers to build in either one of two tracks:

  • ๐Ÿ›  ๐—›๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ: Youโ€™ll sign up and form a team of 2-4 and build something brand-new from scratch. You will be building towards one of the listed themes (to be released) and compete for exciting prizes! If thereโ€™s something you really want to build, let us know, and maybe theyโ€™ll show up in the themes.

  • ๐Ÿš€ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฝ ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ: Youโ€™ll bring your existing startup/stealth project and ship a killer feature in one focused sprint. We wonโ€™t be judging you for the hacker track prizes, but youโ€™ll get access to expert help and perks kindly offered by our sponsors! (and AC in the UK summer).

We'll have technical experts from our sponsors and partners including Stripe, ACI.dev, Anthropic, ElevenLabs, Prolific, GranolaIncident.io , Requesty, Cogna, Memories AI, Inforcer, Runware, Encore, Firebolt, Encord, and Oneleet giving workshops, technical support, and general advice. As well as sponsoring different prize tracks!

Whatโ€™s special:

  • The only builder event in town for the weekend of August 2/3

  • Virtual workshop Thursday before the Saturday to get you set up on all the sponsor platforms

  • Vibe coding nights before to get you warmed up for peak productivity (stay tuned)

  • >ยฃ5k in prizes up for grabs, and thatโ€™s excluding the credits

  • Themes and challenges set out by real companies with real customer needs

  • Special Follow-up event at the House of Lords for the winners

Of course, there will be plenty of food & drinks, credits, swag, (and AC)!

This is a hackathon for all builders, and we hope you can join us! Applications accepted on a rolling basis, in case you forgot the link: https://lu.ma/edovbkm4
