​Ripple × Living Room Labs: AI Hackathon - Build Something Before Lunch

​details.

​Most people have an idea and assume someone else has to build it. Someone who codes.

​This morning is about crossing that line.

​You bring a frustration: something small and everyday that gets under your skin. You talk to AI. You watch it build for you. By lunch, a working prototype exists that didn't when you walked in.

​No coding background needed.

​A room full of London's most ambitious and agentic people, turning friction into things that actually run.

​This is vibe coding. You describe what you want in plain language, the AI writes the code, you steer. Beginners welcome. Beginners expected.

​You bring the idea. We handle the rest.

​one rule.

​Everything is built on the day. Pre-built projects are not accepted. No exceptions. You walk in with an idea, you walk out with a prototype.

​before you arrive.

• ​Set up a GitHub account and a Vercel account. A step-by-step video guide goes to everyone approved to join.

• ​Get your own Claude Pro subscription (around £18/month). It runs for 30 days, so cancel afterward if it's not for you.

• ​Bring a laptop, a charger, and one idea. Nothing else.

​who this is for.

​Curious explorers, designers, aspiring founders, operators, and learners who want to build with AI and have never had the way in. Ambition required. Engineering / coding experience is not.

​Hosted by Ripple Social Club in collaboration with Living Room Labs.
