Proposed MURI record attempt. Every dot above is one seat; target 600+ builders, to be confirmed.

Built for people who ship.

Not a workshop, not a pitch night, not a credits giveaway. One hall, one clock, working products at the end.

Ship a real AI product

Not a workshop, not a pitch night. You arrive with a team and leave with a working product, a demo video and a project page that stays online.

Meet the builders

Developers, founders, students, designers and operators from across Indonesia, in one hall, at the same time. The people you build with here are the people you keep building with.

Tools, credits and mentors

Partner APIs, infrastructure credits and mentors who walk the floor throughout the night. Ask, unblock, keep moving.

Get discovered

Judges, investors and ecosystem partners watch the demos. Winners and finalists are archived here permanently with their case studies.
