About this event

Skip the drinks night. Ship a business app for your ops during Web Summit week.

Web Summit is full of talk about AI. This is an evening for putting it to work on the operations problems your team deals with every day.

Join Softr on Wednesday 11 November at Spaces Oriente, Lisbon, for the AI Build Sprint. You get 60 minutes to build a working business app for your ops with AI, 2 minutes to demo it, and a shot at the prize.

Think of the spreadsheet everyone is scared to touch, the approvals that live in email threads, or the client updates you send by hand every week. Bring that workflow, or use our ops brief, and turn it into an app your team can start using.

You don’t need to know how to code. Bring a laptop and work solo or in pairs. The Softr team will be in the room to help you get unstuck.

How it works

18:30: Doors open, food, find a teammate

18:50: Ops brief reveal and a 10-minute Softr quickstart

19:00: The sprint starts. You have 60 minutes

20:00: Demos, 2 minutes per team

20:45: Judges deliberate and the audience votes for People’s Choice

21:00: Winners announced, then drinks and networking until 21:30

What you’re judged on

Usefulness: does it fix an ops problem a team would recognise?

Product decisions: what you built and what you chose to leave out

Polish: does it feel good to use?

Demo: how clearly you show it in 2 minutes

Prizes

Main prize: AirPods Max

People’s Choice: Special Swag

Winners get featured on Softr’s channels
