AITX Community is teaming up with Codex for a 48 hour hackathon in Austin. If you're an engineer, systems builder, or founder who likes building things with AI, this one's for you.
What to expect
You'll get a full weekend to build with Codex alongside other builders in the Texas AI community.
There will be tracks to compete in, prizes to win, and mentors on-site to help you ship something real.
Meals are covered all three days, and the venue is open overnight for anyone who wants to keep hacking.
Friday evening kicks off with check-in, a walkthrough of the hackathon, dinner, and building.
Saturday is a full build day with 3 full meals, networking, and progress check-ins.
Sunday wraps with a code freeze & submissions in the morning, culminating in Hack Fair, where teams get to demo their submissions to the broader Austin community.
Whether you come with a team or come solo and find one here, you'll leave the weekend with a working project, new connections, and a better understanding of what you can build with Codex.
Who this is for
Software engineers, AI/ML engineers, product designers, founders, and students who want hands-on time building with cutting-edge AI tools.

Codex
Antler - Antler is a pre-seed fund, the first believer at inception stage, investing $600K as your first institutional check. You can apply for their NYC, ATX or SF residency here.
Miro - Miro is the AI-powered visual workspace for innovation that brings founders, product, engineering, and design teams together to collaborate and make faster decisions across the entire product lifecycle. From messy brainstorms to specs, prototypes, and launch plans, teams use Miro’s intelligent canvas, AI workflows, and deep integrations such as Miro MCP with tools like Codex, Claude and other AI tooling.
AutoHDR - AutoHDR edits 1 in 10 U.S. real estate listings using AI. They scaled from $0 to $8M ARR in under one year, and now they’re looking for the next wave of talent to join them- people with creativity, grit, and willingness to build. https://www.autohdr.com/
Atlassian for Startups - Atlassian's mission is to unleash the potential of every team. Supercharged by Al, with Atlassian for Startups, work smarter every step of the way with collaboration tools designed to plan, track, and collaborate on work from MVP to IPO.
BrainForge - Brainforge is an embedded data and AI team that builds governed company brain systems - turning behavior, documents, and stack sprawl into tools teams actually use. Our work brings AI into client data and workflows through assistants, automations, and agents, instead of one-off chatbot pilots. The results: less manual reconciliation and firefighting, shared visibility for leaders, and impact tracked on the metrics those organizations already use to run the business.
