Welcome to the Maximally AI Shipathon — a 48-hour global hackathon built for beginners, creatives, and chaos lovers. Whether you’re here to build your first AI tool, remix a meme with machine learning, or launch the weirdest GPT bot the internet has ever seen — you’re in the right place.

This isn't a "pitch deck and PowerPoint" hackathon. It's about shipping something real, meeting people who think like you, and having fun while doing it.

Join solo or with a team. Use any tools you want. Just build, submit, and vibe.

You can use any stack, any platform, any AI tool — as long as you build the project during the 48-hour window.

Here are some suggestions to get started:

• Glide

• Bubble

• Tally

• Zapier

• n8n

• OpenAI (GPT-4, DALL·E)

• Hugging Face

• Replicate

• RunwayML

• ElevenLabs

• Replit

• Vercel

• LangChain

• Supabase

• GitHub

Feel free to mix and match. No-code, low-code, code-code — all builds welcome.

Need help getting started? Here are a few spark ideas:

• An AI that turns your DMs into Shakespearean monologues

• A meme generator powered by trending Twitter headlines

• A voice-to-visual storytelling app for bedtime stories

• A Chrome extension that rephrases dumb comments with logic

• A prompt hack that generates startup names and logos

• A simulation where GPT plays therapist, gamer, or ghostwriter

Your project doesn’t have to be perfect. Just make it interesting.
