The AI-Native Talent Hunt @ UCB
Your resume can't show how good you are with AI. This competition can.
The AI-Native Talent Hunt is a live, in-person competition. You get a real problem from a real company and work on it from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM with any AI tools. Each work is sized for about an hour, so you can do more than one. We score your result and how you got there. Everything you need to know as an attendee is in our guidebook: https://emergenceslabs.notion.site/AI-Native-Talent-Hunt-Participant-Handbook-3f3580866260802ba211da597f0d34c7.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR COMPUTER!

About RSVPs
Entry is first come, first served from 10:00 AM sharp, so going doesn't guarantee a place.
If you can't come, please switch your RSVP to Can't Go now so someone else gets your place.
If we're full, there's a waitlist at the door. Waitlisted guests are let in only if a spot opens before 1:00 PM. We'll post in Discord the moment we're full.
You can only compete in person: the event code is shown only at the venue.
What to bring
A personal Mac (Apple chip or Intel) or Windows laptop, and your charger. Chromebooks, iPads and Linux don't work. Company laptops often block the screen-recording permission NeoWork needs.
Your LinkedIn URL or résumé PDF, and access to your email on that laptop. Account setup asks for them, and we send a sign-in code by email.
Any AI tools you plan to use. The first 200 people at the venue get free Codex credits, so make sure you can sign in to others too.
Lunch is provided. If you have a strict diet, bring your own food to be safe.
Keep your belongings with you: there's no bag area.
Each work is a real problem from one of our hiring partners. Solve it using the AI tools of your choice.
