GitBot Buildathon #1: Bots are the new apps
Walk away with a bot that works for you.
Bots are the new apps.
Apps were software you opened and operated. Bots are software you give a job to and talk with. A bot has a name, its own instructions, and its own permissions. Your PR reviewer. Your Monday standup. The one that writes your release notes.
That's the transition, and it's happening now. The people who build a few bots this year will run their work differently from the people who kept opening apps.
GitBot is the open-source app for building them, on the Claude Code or Codex subscription you already have. Build on this call and your bots are in the GitBot library the same night.
The evening
How to build a bot. We make one live, start to finish.
What would you build? Everyone says the bot they want. We help shape it on the spot.
Demos. People on the call show the bots they built.
Publish. Push yours to the GitBot repo. We review on the call, and it's in the library before you log off.
No panel, no slides after the first ten minutes.
Before you join
Install GitBot. Two minutes. Instructions come with your confirmation email.
Have Claude Code or Codex logged in.
Join from a laptop, not a phone.
Who this is for
Developers, PMs, founders, anyone who has used Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex once. Already running bots? Bring one and demo it. Students welcome. Any timezone if you're awake.
