​Jakarta has real problems worth solving. Codex gives builders a faster way to turn local insight into working products.

​OpenAI Build Week Community Hackathon Jakarta is a one-day, community-led AI build sprint for engineers, designers, founders, students, researchers, operators, and domain experts who want to build practical products for Indonesia.

​Theme: Open Track 🇮🇩

​Choose any problem you care about. Your project should have a clear user, a useful workflow, and a working demo that people can understand and test.

​This is an individual hackathon with a maximum of 35 participants. Each participant will build and present their own project.

​What we are looking for

• ​Practical AI products, not just ideas

• ​A clear problem, user, and workflow

• ​Responsible and inclusive use of AI

• ​A working demo that can be tested and understood

• ​A project with potential to continue after the event

​Possible areas to explore

• ​Public services and civic access

• ​MSMEs, finance, and productivity

• ​Education and AI literacy

• ​Healthcare and well-being

• ​Tourism, culture, and the local economy

• ​Climate and resilience

• ​Accessibility and community well-being

• ​Any other problem you want to solve

​Who should join

​Builders from any background are welcome, including engineers, designers, founders, students, researchers, operators, product thinkers, educators, and domain experts. You do not need to arrive with a finished idea, but you should be ready to choose a problem and build independently.
