This initiative was inspired by Lovable and Elena’s SheBuilds. However, we chose not to stop at that one day, and instead continue building forward.
In a time when countless tools are emerging every day, let’s experiment in different ways and make sure we can experience, firsthand, how AI can augment human potential.
We welcome anyone building with tools like Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, Claude Code, Codex, AI Studio, OpenClaw, GitHub Copilot, Notion AI, and Figma AI, and the countless others we cannot even begin to list, as well as anyone who is simply curious and wants to try creating something with them for the first time.

* Hosted by Caroline and Preeti:
We decided to continue this initiative after hosting the SheBuilds on Lovable event on International Women’s Day, because we want not only to create opportunities to expand perspectives, broaden horizons, and push beyond our limits in a fun and joyful way, but also to provide a safe environment that continuously motivates our journeys as builders, and to open the door for more people to get started.
