OpenAI x Lyra x January Capital x Relevance AI Hackathon
Build with the best. Ship something real.
Australia's top developers, founders, and AI-native builders are invited to a curated, week-long hackathon powered by OpenAI, hosted by Lyra, and backed by January Capital and Relevance AI.
This isn't your typical weekend hack. You'll have 3 days to build and ship a real product with solid UX, genuine functionality, and real customer potential, using OpenAI's latest models and Codex.
🗓 SCHEDULE
Kickoff — Tuesday, April 28 at 10am
Join us at Lyra's office for a morning of introductions, a hands-on Codex demo from OpenAI's DevEx team, networking, and food.
Build Phase (3 Days)
Work independently or in teams to build your project. Every participant receives ~$250 USD in OpenAI API credits plus access to the latest models and tools.
Final Pitch — Friday, May 1 at 1pm
