Hackathon: Humanizing The Prototype

Sat, Jun 27, 5:30 PM

From ProductTank SF

4.7

# Build a PAL: Tavus x Lovable Hackathon (with ProductTank SF) Spend one day building a PAL, a new kind of application you talk to, one that sees you, hears you, remembers you, and gets to know you over time, then ship it live inside a real app. ## 🏆 $5,000 in prizes * 🥇 **1st place: $3,000** * 🥈 **2nd place: $1,500** * 🥉 **3rd place: $500** Every winning team also takes home a special credits package from Lovable and Tavus, so the PAL you start here is one you can keep building. ## ⏳ 100 seats, and they are going fast This room is capped at 100 builders and it is filling up quickly. Register now and complete the short screening form to hold your spot. We use your answers to build balanced teams, so everyone walks out having shipped something they are proud of. ## What you'll build This is where PALmaker meets Lovable. You describe the PAL you want in plain words, and PALmaker builds the whole thing, no code and no settings to crawl through, while Lovable's rapid UI generation builds and ships the app it lives in. By the time the session ends, you have a real PAL at a live, published URL. A PAL is not a face that talks at you. It is the whole thing: perception so it can see and hear you, memory so it holds onto what matters, judgment and personality so it knows when to push and when to listen, with a face and a voice so it meets you the way a person would. That is the difference between a tool you operate and a counterpart you talk to, and it is what you get to build today. ## ✨ A glimpse of what's possible This is not a menu to build from. It is a handful of glimpses, just enough to feel the range before you make your own. Picture a DJ that reads the energy of the room, takes requests by voice, and talks back between tracks like a real host, living inside a music app. Imagine a sidekick that wakes up when you open your laptop, sees what you are working on, remembers where you got stuck yesterday, notices when you are frustrated, and picks the work back up with you. Picture a sales rep that joins your Google Meet, pulls up the right slide at the right moment, reads the room as the conversation turns, handles the objections, and runs the call end to end. Imagine a coach, for a language or a sport or the interview you have next week, that remembers every session, adapts to you over the weeks, and reaches out first when it is time to practice. Picture a character out of a game you can actually sit and talk to, fully in personality, who remembers the last conversation the two of you had. None of these is the assignment. The assignment is whatever you can picture. Build that. ## 🎁 What you get * **Tavus and Lovable credits for every builder**, so your team can build and publish during the event. * **A special credits package from Lovable and Tavus for every winning team**, on top of the cash. * **Food and beverages** throughout the day. * **A content station on the floor.** Our team shoots content of you and your build live during the event, then sends it to you the week after, ready to share. * **On-call experts** to unblock you the moment you get stuck. * SWAG :) ## 🎒 What to bring * A charged laptop * Headphones ## Agenda * **10:30 to 11:00 AM, Arrival and team forming.** Grab food and a drink, meet other builders, and form squads of 2 to 5. * **11:00 to 11:30 AM, The Spark.** Welcome from ProductTank SF, a Tavus and PALmaker intro, and a live demo. * **11:30 AM to 12:30 PM, The Build.** Start building your PAL with PALmaker and Lovable. A PAL is something you talk to, so build for real back-and-forth, not a one-way loop. * **12:30 to 1:00 PM, Fuel Up.** Food and beverages provided. * **1:00 to 3:45 PM, The Build Continues.** Push to a working, deployed PAL. * **3:45 to 4:30 PM, judging starts.** * **430 to 5 PM top 3 winners- Show and Tell and Prizes:** two-minute demos of your published PALs, wrap-up, and winner announcements. ## With thanks to our hosts * **Tavus**, the human computing company. We teach machines the art of being human, so talking to one can feel as natural as talking to a friend or coworker. PALmaker is where anyone builds a PAL, the whole thing, without writing a line of code. [tavus.io](https://tavus.io/?utm_source=luma) * **Lovable**, rapid UI generation that lets your team build and publish a working app in a single session. [lovable.dev](https://lovable.dev/?utm_source=luma) * **ProductTank SF**, the community bringing product builders, thinkers, and operators together. ## Register Seats are limited to 100 and going fast. Register now and complete the short screening form to hold your spot.

Fortress Mode: Arduino Motion Gates (CHM)

Tue, Jul 7, 2:00 AM

From The Bay Area Chronic Pain & Illness Peer Support Group

Step into engineer mode and build your own automatic security gate using an Arduino, a motion sensor, and a servo motor! In this hands-on class, you’ll create a mini “fortress gate” that springs open whenever someone approaches. Along the way, you’ll learn: * How motion sensors detect movement * How servo motors create controlled motion * Basic Arduino programming and wiring * How real-world smart security systems work By the end of the class, you’ll have a working motion-activated gate and the skills to customize it with lights, alarms, or secret fortress upgrades. No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and prepare to defend the kingdom. 🏰🤖 **If you have a laptop, please bring it — but come anyway if you don’t!**

Where is AI in 2026 and Where is it Going?

Wed, Jun 24, 1:00 AM

From AI Safety Awareness Group San Francisco

**A free, public workshop with no technical background needed** For the last several years, AI systems have advanced at a pace that has stunned the public and even surprised leading experts. These systems are reshaping work, the economy, relationships, and even crime extremely quickly. This workshop will explore where AI may be in the next 1-5 years and what that means for daily life for all of us. We’ll tackle urgent and important questions like: * **Jobs**: Could AI lead to mass unemployment or will it help create entirely new kinds of work? * **Crime**: How might AI supercharge scams, hacking, and even crime? * **Companions**: Will people form deep emotional bonds or even romantic relationships with AI companions? * **Society**: How do top researchers think these trends will shape our future? **What you’ll get:** * A fast-paced, beginner-friendly overview of today’s most powerful AI systems * Live demos that reveal both the breakthroughs and the risk * Interactive forecasting exercises where you’ll test your predictions about AI’s impact against the broader community * Come ready to explore a future arriving faster than most people realize. A future that could transform not just how we work, but how we trust, connect, and even love. \*\*San Francisco Public Library 100 Larkin St. (at Grove) Mary Louise Strong Conference Room, located on the 1st Floor This is not a Library sponsored program.\*\*
