AI Tinkerers presents the Interfaces Hackathon with Claude, hosted in NYC with support from Anthropic & other community partners to be announced soon.
This hackathon invites you to explore what's possible at the interface layer now that tools like Claude make the hard parts easy. With so much compute, reasoning, & ideation power instantly available, the constraint isn't the model anymore - it's our imagination for how people use it.
We're bringing together designers, engineers, & product-minded builders to experiment with UI patterns old & new: sliders, keypads, menus, timelines, pop-ups, cards, canvases, keyboards, windows, & layouts that break convention entirely. Work alongside Anthropic engineers, builders from the AI Tinkerers community, & a curated room of serious creators as we prototype the next wave of UI patterns for AI. No slide decks, no hand-waving. Bring your design instincts, your engineering skills, & ship something real. Your mission: build experiences that feel fresh, playful, & newly possible.
Hackathon Theme: Generative Interfaces Claude
As AI becomes more capable, the bottleneck shifts from raw intelligence to how humans access it.
This weekend is about:
Trying UI ideas you've never had time to test
Using Claude to help you iterate, prototype, & ship
Reframing everyday tasks through unexpected UX
Interfaces that adapt with purpose
Tools where interaction is the innovation
Designing experiences that feel different, not just smarter
Asking now that the AI is powerful, what should the screen look like?
We're not chasing enterprise use cases or grand societal impact.
We're chasing novel experiences, thought-starters, & experiments that stretch the imagination for how humans touch intelligent systems.
If you've ever looked at a dropdown menu & thought this is the last decade talking, this is your playground.
Space is limited & curated - RSVP required.
Who Is This For?
This hackathon is for builders who want to make software feel new again, builders who care about how things feel, not just how they run:
Full-stack engineers
Front-end & UX designers
Product thinkers & founders
Engineers with taste
AI Tinkerers who like weird interfaces, toy apps, & clever workflows
You should be able to code- but you don't need to be an ML wizard.
This is fully in-person only.
No remote teams. No tourists. No spectators.
We admit 100-150 vetted participants.
Show us your GitHub, bring your skills, find your team on site.
