A day where people come together to build using AI.
A welcoming space for the kind, curious, and (cautiously) optimistic to learn and build together.
A one-day event for anyone who wants to build something—whether it's your first app or your fiftieth.
A day where people come together to build working apps using AI—some for the first time, some who've been doing it for years.
Everyone's here to learn from everyone. New builders get a hand from people further along. Experienced builders swap notes, pick up new tricks, and help shape what the next wave gets to make.
It's a room where the gap between “expert” and “beginner” matters less than the fact that you all showed up to build.

Not a hackathon. Not a class.
A calm day with a small group.
No demos, no deadlines, just learning and building.
in shape
The first hour is an optional learning session, in four parts—drop into the ones you want, skip the ones you don't. The rest of the day is yours to build.
The art of scoping.
How to think about it when building.
How apps work.
A quick map of the parts, in plain language.
AI first principles.
The inner workings of AI, demystified—simple and digestible.
Build.
Heads down, with help on tap when you need it.
Three ways in.
Most people come to build. Some come to host. A few help us widen the door.
Come build.
Apply for the next event, or join the waitlist if we're not in your city yet.
Host one.
Run Build Day where you live. We'll send a playbook and stay close.
Sponsor.
Help us widen the door—cover seats, food, space, travel for someone who couldn't otherwise come.
