OC AI Builders Lightning Hackathon

What can you build with AI in 50 minutes? Come find out—and show the room what you made. The format is simple: you get 50 minutes to build something with AI, then up to 2 minutes to demo it. Come with an idea or start from scratch. Build solo or form a small team when you arrive. Rough, weird, incomplete experiments are welcome—the point is to make something real, show it, and trade notes. FORMAT • 50 minutes to build • 2 minutes to demo • Solo builders and small teams are welcome • A small working slice beats a pitch deck AGENDA • 5:00–5:30 PM — Arrival, food, drinks, and networking • 5:30–5:40 PM — Welcome, format, and team-up • 5:40–6:30 PM — 50-minute build sprint • 6:30–7:20 PM — Two-minute demos • 7:20–8:00 PM — Food, drinks, networking, and follow-ups WHAT CAN YOU BUILD? Agents, apps, workflow automations, evals, developer tools, product experiments, useful AI-powered systems—or something we have not thought of yet. WHO SHOULD ATTEND • Engineers and founders building with AI • Product and operations people turning AI experiments into real workflows • Curious builders who want candid technical discussion, not a sales pitch WHAT TO BRING Bring a laptop, charger, an idea if you have one, and a willingness to ship something small. Food and drinks will be provided. This event is presented by Vivek Haldar, a proud Nebius Fellow, with support from Nebius. https://nebius.com/fellows
