AI Build Week

One week from concept to launch build with the best of AI


The state of AI has accelerated dramatically over the last 12 months. Ideas that used to seem impossible can now be built in a week! This is the time to create the future.

Join a select group of builders pushing the envelope of what’s possible in October and present your project at the MIT AI Conference on October 2024 in New York. Learn from each other and the best in the industry, target impactful problems and technical challenges, and launch a real project with an amazing team.

The best projects are built by teams with multiple skills and backgrounds, so apply if you are:

  • An engineer who has
    • Built your own agent
    • Fine-tuned LLMs
    • Run a RAG pipeline over unique datasets
    • Launched web, mobile, and desktop apps
