GrokBot Build Night: Agentic AI x SpaceXAI
SpaceXAI is coming to UIUC.
On September 3, we’re bringing 30 builders into Siebel Center for Design for a night of building with GrokBot, SpaceXAI’s new agent platform.
GrokBot lets you spin up AI agents that connect to Gmail, Slack, your calendar, and the web, run on schedules, and hand work off to each other.
You’ll have one hour to build something real with it.
Then you demo it live.
No slides. Show us what actually works.
Every builder who attends gets one month of Cursor Pro, with GrokBot included, courtesy of SpaceXAI.
Hosted by Agentic AI @ UIUC, UIUC’s largest AI organization.
What you get
One month of Cursor Pro, with GrokBot included
Exclusive SpaceXAI/Cursor merch, including stickers and keychains
An hour to build alongside 29 other builders
A chance to demo what you shipped live
Redemption details for Cursor Pro will be shared at the event.
What counts
Keep it simple: bring an idea and build it with GrokBot.
You can start with:
Existing code or projects
APIs and external tools
Connected Gmail, Slack, calendar, or other accounts
Prior GrokBot experience
There are no required themes. Build whatever you want.
The night will primarily be solo building, but you’re encouraged to talk, share ideas, and help each other out.
Who this is for
We’re keeping the night small and primarily focused on technical UIUC students who want to build.
That includes:
CS students
Engineers
Researchers
Technical founders
Designers and builders working on technical projects
You don’t need prior GrokBot experience. Just come ready to build.
