AI Builders Night Budapest | Cognition.ai
Join us for AI Builders Night Budapest | Cognition.ai, a curated evening for founders, decision makers, developers, product people, designers, operators, and other curious people working near the edge of AI.
The evening is supported by Cognition, the company behind Devin and Windsurf. Devin is an AI software engineer and cloud agent platform for engineering teams. Windsurf is an AI coding assistant and AI-native IDE for developers and teams.
We’re hosting the event at YÜME, one of Budapest’s standout new restaurants, with drinks and small bites throughout the night. The goal is to create a relaxed, high-quality room with good people, good food, and an actually fun reason to be there.
After a short introduction to Cognition, we’ll run a live collaborative AI product game. The room will pitch and vote on a set of product ideas, then we’ll build it together in real time using AI. The process will be projected for the room, with guests helping shape, challenge, and improve the idea as it evolves.
This is designed to be social, practical, and participatory. Come to meet interesting people, learn more about what Cognition is building, and take part in a playful experiment around the future of software, products, and AI-assisted work.
