AI Tinkerers Dublin Hackathon — Baseline, October 29, 2025
What You’ll Build
Use V0, Vercel, and whatever AI tools you want make something that makes people go “wait, I actually will check this out.”
No restrictions, no boring requirements, no nonsense. Just build & ship
What Makes Something Worth Building?
You tell us. But here are some vibes:
- It scratches an itch — Something you or others actually want to use
- It’s clever — A smart solution, an unexpected approach, or just well-executed
- It sparks joy — Could be useful, beautiful, funny, or just plain fun
- It shows off what AI can do — Push the tools, experiment, break things
You Have 2 Hours. Think About:
- Scope wisely — One killer feature beats three half-finished ideas
- Use AI effectively — V0 and AI tools are your accelerators; use them to move fast
- Make it runnable — A working prototype beats a perfect plan
- Show, don’t tell — Your demo should speak for itself
Prizes
Three winners will receive 50 USD credits for V0 and 6 months of Vercel Pro.
How it works
- Start time: 6:30 pm, end time: 8:30 pm. The format is a rapid, two-hour build with on-site collaboration.
- Winners will be crowd-sourced! After the time is up, winners will be chosen by the participants.
- No slides or pitch decks are required; live, runnable demos take precedence.
