BYOR: Bring Your Own Research!

​Hello,

​Welcome to building just for the joy of it! No prize money, no pressure, just curious people playing with wild experimental ideas, together.

​Our first theme is “Rethinking interfaces and interactions with AI”. 10 teams will implement crazy problem statements and fuel each other’s creativity in the comfort of our living room.

​Who Is This For?

​Researchers, engineers, designers, and students who:

• ​Build with AI and care about UX just as much as model performance

• ​Want to prototype weird, delightful, or deeply useful interfaces and interactions

• ​Are obsessed with rethinking the shape of interaction in a model-native world

• ​Have a curiosity for building immersive experiences

​What is the format?

• ​Bring 1–2 research papers, tweets, or blog posts that inspire you

• ​Pitch or join an idea, forming teams of 2-3 members

• ​Build over the weekend. Food and compute credits negotiations underway

• ​No rigid themes—just one question:

  • ​What will the interfaces and interactions in the AI-first world feel like?

  • ​We are inspired by a host of topics. From games and talking media all the way to rethinking interface primitives, mobile UX and even brain-computer interfaces

​Want some inspiration?
We have curated some ideas and papers for you here
