Incredible prize pool
THE PREMISE01 / 06

The next great AI app won't live in the cloud. It'll live in your pocket.

Put intelligence where it matters: on the device, right next to the camera, the mic, the sensors and the person holding it. One weekend to build something that feels instant, private and genuinely useful.

CHOOSE WHAT PULLS YOU IN02 / 06

Three ways into the future.

Every track ends with a working demo. Choose a direction now, or find the right problem and people when you arrive.

TRACK 01

Enterprise

Solve a real business problem with AI. Internal tools, productivity, the unglamorous workflows a company would actually pay to fix.

Built for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS or visionOS
Builders working together at an App Blueprint event
App builders sharing ideas at a community event
REAL PEOPLE / REAL DEADLINES
THE ROOM03 / 06

Come with a team. Leave with a demo.

Show up with your people or arrive solo. The Friday pre-event and Saturday kickoff are built for meeting teammates, finding a problem and getting into motion.

Coming solo is normal. We make team formation easy.
Every kind of builder belongs. Engineering, design and product all matter.
Beginners belong here. Mentors on the floor keep the door open.
THE WEEKEND04 / 06

Arrive curious.
Finish on stage.

Three days, one continuous run of show. Friday is for meeting your team, Saturday is heads-down, Sunday you ship and demo.
