What to look forward to
Community engineers, DevRel professionals, organisers and builders will use Grok Bot and Cursor to create practical tools for member discovery, collaboration, events and community engagement. Teams of up to five will build fast, then present live demos for judging and awards, with support from technology partners including Supabase, Cognee and Cursor.
Inside the event
Grok Bot Community Engineering London Hackathon
Build community infrastructure, 20x better.
An evening hackathon for community engineers, DevRels, organisers and builders, where Grok Bot and Cursor are the builders.
Grok Bot holds the context and Cursor ships the code. Point them at a real community problem and build tooling that's 10x–20x better than what exists today.
Build a bot that knows every channel you're in.
Build a collab engine between communities.
Build the event stack.
Build something we haven't seen before.
Live demos. Ship fast. Real communities 🤌

🚀 What You'll Build
Tooling that helps communities find members, collab, run events and stay active. Some ideas...
- Acquisition tooling
- A collab engine between communities
- The event stack
- Activation from what members actually say and do
- An event from idea to live page
OR something outside the usual categories: anything only possible when bots that know your whole community write the code.
Work solo or in teams of up to 5.
