# 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.

Glow in the Dark Pickleball & Padel Party ✨️

Sun, Jun 28, 12:00 AM

From Noisebridge Hackerspace

With Pickleball growing more popular than ever, there's a good chance you've already played before. But have you played in the dark with glowing neon lights? Mix that with some food, alcohol and a live DJ and you'll have one night to remember. But what is Padel? Like pickleball, padel is a racquet sport but the key difference is that it's played in an enclosed glass court and players are made to bounce the ball off the walls in a tennis-meets-squash type of way. **Admission**: $59 Your ticket buys you access to not just padel & pickleball courts, but also to a game zone with ping-pong, foosball, corn hole, beer pong, as well as access to an open bar. **Dresscode**: NEON (mandatory) **5:00 PM**: Early arrivals. Play Pickleball & Padel, and start warming up with some drinks. **7:00 PM**: Party kicks off with the DJ, OPEN BAR, and food for purchase. **8:00 PM**: Glow in the Dark courts light up the night. Link to purchase ticket: [https://sweatpals.com/event/glow-in-the-dark-pickleball-padel-5355a/2026-06-27](https://sweatpals.com/event/glow-in-the-dark-pickleball-padel-5355a/2026-06-27)

Roaming Telegraph Hill and the Waterfront

Fri, Jul 10, 10:00 PM

From Roaming Zen

4.9

It's two years now since I moved to Telegraph Hill. Of course I think it's one of the finest neighbourhoods in the city, but I have resisted roaming around it more than other areas. We haven't done it for a while though, so I thought it was time to visit again. This roam will take us to the foot of the Coit Tower, and across the north eastern waterfront. There will be plenty of climbing, though this time we will skip the bulk of the Greenwich and Filbert steps. We will meet on the stairs in front of Saints Peter and Paul Church on Filbert St by Washington Square. *Bringing water, snacks, and layers for all the microclimates is the way to go.* *These roams are offered by donation. They are one way I am able to pay my rent in San Francisco.* *Punctuality is always appreciated. Please send a message on the app if you are running a little late - direct messages are best, rather than a comment on the event. I can usually respond to messages before we get underway, but then I put my phone away other than to take pictures.* *I know Meetup is notorious for no-shows and late changes of rsvp. I am not as strict as other organisers (we do talk to each other!), but since generally up to half the people who sign up don't show up, my tolerance for repeated flakiness is limited. It is especially unfair to people on the wait list who would like to attend.*

Fortress Mode: Arduino Motion Gates (CHM)

Tue, Jul 7, 2:00 AM

From Bay Area Social Scene

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!**

Gaga (Handball/Dodgeball variation) & Other Lawn Games @ Alameda Gaga Court

Sun, Jun 28, 8:00 PM

Join us for games of **GAGA**! Gaga is similar to handball and is a low-impact, fast moving fun game that rotates players quickly, so its a great way to meet new people and keep moving! The location of the court on Alameda island is here: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/VeqmD6oz6AbAksYB8 ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/VeqmD6oz6AbAksYB8) The rules of Gaga are super simple and as follows: * *All players start with one hand touching a wall of the pit.* * *The game begins with a referee throwing the ball into the center of the pit.* * *Once the ball is in play, any player can hit the ball with an open or closed hand.* * *If a ball touches a player below the knee (even if the player hits himself or herself) they are out and they leave the pit. If a player is hit above the knees, the play continues.* * *Players cannot hold the ball* If you have any other games like spike ball, cornhole, or soccer or volleyballs, please feel free to bring them as well! We will have some additional activities set up on the sides for people to play and socialize while in between games of gaga.
