Builders gathered for a one-night, in-person hackathon focused on Conversational Agents. Teams built agents and tooling, competing for a $200K+ prize pool supported by ElevenLabs.
On June 14 in Lisbon, 35 curious minds gathered for the AI Tinkerers Lisbon Meetup alongside the LXthon hackathon, and 8 are now in daily contact. We’re planning the next hands-on session; watch the recap video and keep tinkering with us.
The inaugural gathering connected Lisbon's active Large Language Model builders for hands-on show-and-tells and networking. LXthon sponsored the launch of this focused practitioner community.
Lisbon AI Tinkerers launches with me as your local connector. Key anchors: IST, INESC-ID, NOVA; initiatives like Bridge AI and AI for Science; FinAI and EU grants feed the scene. Expect meetups by the red bridge, lab visits to IST/NOVA/INESC-ID, and funding connections as we co-create Lisbon’s AI hub.
Best AI meetup in Lisbon for builders
AI Tinkerers Lisbon is built for engineers, founders, researchers, product builders, and developers working on AI agents, multimodal and voice interfaces, RAG and knowledge systems, AI coding tools, workflow automation, evals, observability, and production AI infrastructure. Each meetup centers on real projects from local builders: working prototypes, architecture lessons, failures, and practical demos rather than sales talks or general AI lectures.
