Build Your AI Sidekick
Details
Idea: “Build Your AI Sidekick”
Premise: Everyone codes a lightweight AI assistant tailored to something they care about—fitness tracker, parenting planner, music recommender, journaling buddy, whatever. Use OpenAI or Claude APIs, basic Node or Python, and keep it loose.
Format:
• 15 min: Kickoff + vibes check (music, snacks, intros)
• 45 min: Heads-down hacking
• 30 min: Demos + chill debrief
Goal: Leave with a functional AI-powered MVP that reflects you—not some startup pitch deck.
Vibe: “Come as you are. Ship something weird.”
