Hello Dubai AI builders 👋🏼 We're back for our third Builder Lab, and it's our biggest yet! A one-day hackathon sponsored by ElevenLabs (voice), Cognition's Devin (the AI software engineer) and context.dev (live web data for agents). Every builder gets hands-on to build with them on the day. The challenge Build a voice-first AI agent that knows something real about the world. It has to pull live web data, be built with AI coding agents, and talk back to you: context.dev → live web data inDevin → builds the appElevenLabs → gives it a voice Beyond that, build whatever you want. Not sure where to start? Paste in any URL and turn it into a voice assistant you can talk to, a restaurant, a university, a clinic. That's one idea, not the idea. A morning briefing agent you can interrupt, a brand-aware audio generator, an accessibility layer for any site, all fair game. Surprise us. You'll form teams of five people on the day so come solo or bring your crew. One more thing: we're judging the codebase, not just the demo. As a community, we need to start moving from vibe coding toward agentic engineering, so we'll be looking at codebase health and how well you steer the tools, not just whether the demo works. Who we are Dubai AI Hub is a builder-first AI community for engineers, founders, and indie hackers shipping real things with AI. Our Builder Labs gather builders across Dubai for a day of hands-on building with frontier tools. What to expect What you get, free, on the day...
