Design Machines
Join us for Design Machines hackathon with Anna (Founder and CEO at Recraft), Tikhon (Founding Engineer at Granola) and Yavor (Design Engineer at Vercel)
Open call for Design Engineers interested in building exceptional and craft-driven solutions on top of industry performing AI-image generation models from Vercel's v0 and Recraft's prototyping tools.
For those who want to shape the future of AI-native interfaces.
Who Should Join:
Designers who think in systems and want to go beyond aesthetics. You think in workflows, not screens.
Builders with a strong product design taste. You iterate like an artist and launch like a founder.
Creative technologists exploring AI as material. You think like a creative director designing both with and for AI.
Anyone excited about speculative tools and interface design of the future.
1 day, 3 challenges:
Systems for AI agents only: What does design look like when the "users" are AI agents?
Invisible Interfaces: How can you design a product that works with zero screens?
Design for the Unseen Majority: How can design unlock new value for user groups that are usually overlooked, but growing fast?
Or your own design engineering solution.
