Builders, welcome to Open Build: Manhattan.
We're teaming up with Cognition — the AI software development platform behind Windsurf, Devin, and DeepWiki — for a hands-on evening of building, demos, and community.
One platform that understands, writes, and ships code. Tonight, you get to try it all.
⏰ 5:45 PM— Doors & Networking
⏰ 6:15 PM— Cognition Platform Demo
⏰ 6:30 PM— DevRel Session
⏰ 7:00 PM— Open Build w/ Cognition Deployed Engineers
⏰ 8:15 PM— Showcase Applications

After the demo, you build whatever you want. Prompt boards and vibe breakouts if you need a spark. Code & Tell at the end — optional, always fun.
