Builders & Brews Tel Aviv
Builders & Brews: Hack Edition ☕️💻
Builders & Brews, our flagship builder community event series, is getting a hands-on build-day twist and going global.
Nebius and Tavily are taking a special tour to 20 cities worldwide, bringing workshops, technical support, and focused build time to the global AI community. We’re excited to bring the experience to Tel Aviv!
The tour is happening alongside the Nebius Global AI Hackathon, hosted in partnership with NVIDIA. Builders worldwide are invited to create with open-source AI and compete for more than $50,000 in cash prizes, including a $500 city winner prize.
Bring an idea, a project in progress, or simply your curiosity. You’ll get hands-on support, meet the Nebius team, access additional platform credits, and connect with potential teammates.
The hackathon is online, so attending this event is not required to participate or qualify for prizes.
Not competing? You’re just as welcome. There’s no requirement to submit a project or present your work. Come for the coffee, meet other people working in AI, explore the technology, and spend the day learning or building at your own pace.
For Tel Aviv we are joined by our partner NanoClaw. An open source personal AI agent you self-host and message from the apps you already use. Every agent runs inside its own
locked-down sandbox, an isolated container that only sees what you explicitly share with it, with credentials held behind a gateway the agent never reads. So it can do real work like, search the web, write and run code, wire up tools over MCP, read the files you send it, remember your projects, and fire off scheduled tasks without ever touching the rest of your machine. You can extend it by chatting and it edits its own skills and config. Secure by design, not instruction.
