🤝🏻 Organizer
AI.SEA is a builder-first initiative across Southeast Asia focused on hands-on experimentation with AI. It brings together builders, engineers, founders, and local communities to collaborate, prototype, and learn by doing through hackathons, co-build sessions, sprints, and shared build experiences.
For hackathon teams, AI.SEA helps create an environment where builders can test ideas quickly, work with others across the region, and turn early concepts into working prototypes with more momentum. Its focus is on practical AI development under real-world constraints, making it relevant for teams building useful, deployable AI products.
Join the AI.SEA Discord and build with Southeast Asia’s growing AI builder community.
