AI Tinkerers Santiago hosted a global hackathon focused on agentic interfaces. Builders created real-time, interactive interfaces with AI agents. Sponsors included Google DeepMind, CopilotKit, and Langchain.
The AI Tinkerers chapter featured a workshop on Spec Driven Development, a global movement discussion, and a Demo Night, establishing a permanent AI community hub.
The OpenClaw Anti-Hackathon brought together 100 builders in Santiago for five hours of focused AI development, emphasizing technical implementation and experimentation.
The meetup gathered Chilean AI builders discussing Vibecoding, humor decoding, GPT validation, and universal graphs, concluding with a panel and acknowledging Poweredia sponsorship.
The tactical meetup featured live AI building, monetization discussions, and demos on LLMs, quantum AI for SMEs, and the Teletón Challenge, supported by iF Chile and Poweredia.
The in-person meetup featured tactical talks on AI product creation, implementation, and monetization, including regional insights and specific use cases, concluding with actionable networking, supported by Google.
The gathering featured practical workshops on building functional AI products, live demos of scaling fintech AI, and mining adoption strategies, supported by Poweredia, Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez, and make.com.
The practical meetup focused on building real AI solutions with 95% human effort. Speakers covered integrating customer success, large-scale AI flows, and technical demos. Grupo Wolf, Fintual, and Poweredia sponsored the event.
The community gathered for practical sessions on building generative AI systems and MLOps in mining, featuring speakers from AWS and acelera.ia, supported by sponsors.
AI Tinkerers hosted a session focusing on shifting from "Make" to "Making" with continuous learning and practical collaboration, featuring short technical talks and networking, supported by sponsors.
AI Tinkerers-Santiago's second chapter encouraged AI builders to become creators, featuring technical insights from various speakers and a science fair for code validation, hosted by Globant.
AI Tinkerers-Santiago launched, featuring technical presentations on AI adoption and generative AI, followed by networking.
