About us
Valencia is quietly becoming one of Europe's most interesting cities for AI builders — and this is where they meet.
AI Tinkerers is a global network of builders in 200+ cities. The Valencia chapter is where the local people actually shipping AI products come to show their work, trade war stories, and find collaborators who speak the same language.
No panels. No pitch competitions. No corpo/boring networking.
Just builders — founders, engineers, researchers — showing live demos, talking about what broke, what worked, and what they're obsessing over right now.
If you're actively building with AI in Valencia and want to be in the room where it's happening, this is it.
Featured event
OpenAI x AI Tinkerers Global Hackathon
⚠️ Accepted RSVP on our platform is necessary
** A global hackathon with OpenAI **
On Saturday, September 12, AI Tinkerers cities around the world are joining one shared build day.
Build an agent for a place people already work, talk, and live, then make it meaningfully more useful because of that context.
***
** The Challenge **
Most agents still wait inside a separate chat window. This build day starts from a different premise: the most useful agents will show up inside the tools, channels, devices, and environments where people already have work to do.
Build a working agent that belongs somewhere new.
Your project might live:
- At work: Slack, Teams, email, documents, calendars, tickets, support, or live collaboration
- In your pocket: messaging, mobile, notifications, and short asynchronous moments
- On the web: browsers and software where an agent can research, navigate, transact, or take action
- In the room: voice, vision, wearables, robotics, and other physical-world interfaces
These are examples, not separate tracks. Every team around the world enters the same global submission pool.
***
** Your build stack **
OpenAI and the event partners will provide shared starter materials, technical resources, and builder credits/offers where available. We will share the final starter repo and access details ahead of the event.
You do not need to use every tool in the stack. Choose the resources that make your idea better and make the technical choices that fit the project.
***
** Global reviews and prizes **
Every eligible project from every participating city goes into one global review process. The final judging rubric, prize categories, and award details will be shared with builders before the event.
***
** Who should come **
This is a builders-only AI Tinkerers event, and attendance is by application only. It is for engineers, technical founders, researchers, and designers who build and are ready to spend the day shipping a working prototype.
Come with a team, come solo, or find collaborators at the event.
Apply on our hackathon platform to join us. Space is limited in each city.
** Global Sponsors**
- OpenAI - the headline partner for this global hackathon, supporting the builders pushing agents beyond the chatbox and into the places people already work, talk, and live.
- Copilot - the open-source framework for building in-app AI copilots and agentic interfaces. Its tools help developers bring agents into the products people already use.
- OpenRouter - gives developers a unified API for working with leading AI models. Builders can use it to explore the right models for their projects and ship quickly.
** Local Sponsors **
- Insider matches you with your next dream job. He analyses your profile, gets to know you by chatting on WhatsApp and introduces you to the person in charge once the fit is real.
- Base 2 hub connects founders, investors, researchers, and innovators working on urban deep tech. Thank you for hosting us.

Go-To-Market Teardown September — AI Tinkerers Valencia
Base 2, BASE 2, La Marina de Valencia, Calle de la Travesía, 46024 Valencia, Valencia, ES⚠️ 👉 Confirm your attendance (RSVP is mandatory)
You built it. Nobody came. Let's fix that.
Every builder in this room has the same dirty secret: the product works, the landing page is live, but prompting Claude "bring me clients" doesn't work.
Nobody teaches this part. AI Twitter sells you hype, LinkedIn is full bots, so we do teardowns.
If you want to start using agents to help you bring clients after you launched something into the void, this is your night.
How it works
- 🎯 One case study. A founder or operator who uses AI and automation to accelerate go-to-market and growth functions with tangible results. Real dashboards, it's pic or fake.
- 🔧 The teardowns. 2–3 brave members volunteer their own product. Everything goes on screen: landing page, pricing, funnel, real traffic. The room, plus a couple of invited operators who've actually scaled things, tears it apart and rebuilds it live.
- 🍺 The debrief. Beers, hot takes, and everyone quietly writing systems in their head.
Volunteer your product (yes, you)
This only works if someone's in the hot seat. Here's the deal:
- You have something live — a product, a landing page, a waitlist, anything with a URL
- You're willing to show real numbers, even if you have 3 visitors, especially if it's 3 visitors
- You want honest feedback, not applause
👉 Submit your teardown proposal
Not launched? Even better. Pre-launch teardowns save you months of shipping into silence.
Who is this for?
- You can ship a product in a week but you can't make a sale in a year
- You want to discover systems and automations to accelerate your growth
- You'd rather get roasted by builders than ignored by the internet

AI Tinkerers Valencia September Demo Night
Base 2, BASE 2, La Marina de Valencia, Calle de la Travesía, 46024 Valencia, Valencia, ES⚠️ 👉 Confirm your attendance (RSVP is mandatory)
August Demo Night - AI Tinkerers Valencia is back
Same energy, same rule: Let's make Valencia the AI capital of Spain!
We want to see the real stuff: the decisions that worked, the ones that didn't, the side project you hacked together last weekend, the production system that almost broke.
If you're building/working with AI, this is your stage.
🎤 Call for demos
This is a community that runs on builders showing their work. Just you, your screen, and 10 minutes to show us how it works under the hood.
Never presented before?
Even better. Some of our best demos have come from first-timers who thought their project wasn't "ready." It is. The room is supportive and everyone's here to learn, not to judge.
