Hack for Humanity : London (w/ The AI Collective)
Register with organizerWhat to look forward to
Hack for Humanity will bring builders and people with firsthand knowledge of community needs together to create practical planning tools using Timefold and an AI-powered MCP server. In a single morning, teams will turn real challenges, such as fair staff rotas or food-delivery routes, into working solutions, followed by demos and judging.
Inside the event
Hack for Humanity: Build the planning tools your community needs! Our chapter is joining "Hack for Humanity", The AI Collective's global initiative running Autumn 2026. It's the continuation of the "Humans in AI Week" conversations we held this summer, where we identified real problems in our local community... and now is our chance to build the solutions. Somewhere near you, a hospital is struggling to plan its staff rotas fairly. A food bank is working out who drives where. A volunteer group is juggling too many people and too few time slots. These are all planning problems, and they're the kind Timefold is built to solve. Using Timefold and an AI-powered MCP server we'll have ready on the day, you'll describe your problem in plain language and shape it into your own planning model (as a REST API), with the rules that matter to your community, like fairness between volunteers, travel limits, or skill requirements. Then you'll put that model to work: a sign-up app for volunteers, a route planner for delivery drivers, a rota tool a care team can use on Monday morning. The challenge Pick a real problem from your own community and build a working solution in a morning. Some examples: • A fair shift schedule for a local hospital or care team. • The best routes for grocery or food-rescue deliveries. • Practice schedules for a local sports team. Your project has to help people. The day's schedule • 09:00: Problem briefing and MCP server walkthrough. • 09:15: Hack. • 13:15: Lunch. • 14:15: Demos and judging. • 15:00: Close. Who it's for All builders are welcome. If you can describe a problem clearly, the AI can help you turn it into a model. If you can build a simple app or interface, you can turn that model into something people use. And if you know a local problem inside out, you're just as valuable to a team as the person writing code. Every problem statement and every project should solve something local to your community, with the purpose of benefiting humanity. The
