Windsurf Open Build powered by The AI Collective Cape Town
Windsurf Open Build powered by The AI Collective Cape Town 🏄🏼♂️ 🤖
We're bringing Windsurf to Cape Town – the AI native coding tool that's rethinking what it means to code in flow. This is about building together, learning from each other, and pushing what's possible when you mix great tools with even better people.
This is the first time The AI Collective Cape Town and Windsurf are teaming up locally, and we're doing it properly. Real conversations, hands-on building (please bring your laptops!), and the kind of energy that makes you want to stick around (plus there will be free swag and snacks!). Bring your colleagues, friends and laptops for an evening of open building with AI Collective and Windsurf!
🔥 What You're Getting
Free Windsurf Pro access – plus a ton of free tokens to experiment with. You'll leave with the tools to keep building.
Tech support essentials so you can build with confidence
Proper hands-on time to actually create something, not just watch demos
Lightning rounds from our advocates showing what they've built
Complimentary snacks and drinks
Springboard prompts – we'll give you starter ideas and challenges to get you playing around with Windsurf straight away
Whether you've never used Windsurf before or you're already deep in it, this is your chance to level up and maybe ship something you didn't think you'd finish tonight.
🗓️ Plan for the Evening
6:15p ~ Settle In
Doors open. Grab a drink, scope out the space, meet the people you'll be building with.
7:00p ~ Intros & Context

This is the main event. Use the springboard prompts we'll give you, form teams, or go solo. Just start building. We're here if you get stuck.
8:30p ~ Show & Tell from the Advocates
Four quick demos (5 mins each) from people who've been where you are and built something worth sharing.

How to get more involved, what's coming up, and how to tap into the community properly.
