OpenAI Build Week Community Hackathon - London
Welcome to London’s Codex Community Hackathon.
Join us for a day of building with Codex, OpenAI's Coding Agent.
This is a hands-on builder event designed to keep the room high-signal and focused on shipping.
Who this event is for?
This event is designed for developers who already use AI coding tools regularly and are comfortable shipping production-grade code.
How it works
Build something new from scratch or push an existing project further using Codex. Run parallel tasks, experiment with Skills, and use worktrees to operate with greater speed and ambition.
Build something meaningful with Codex. You might:
Start a new project from scratch
Extend an existing open-source project
Prototype a new developer tool or agent workflow
