Welcome to the Build-a-Bot Workshop, the 2026 evolution of the SAINTCON AI Community. This year we aren’t just hacking and chatting with AI models; we’re giving them life, and battling them. Whether you’re a first-time tinkerer or a seasoned prompt-engineer, the AI Community is your factory floor to build a container with pieces and parts.
Bring your best GPU laptop. The AI Community, in partnership with the AI Maker Corner, is upgrading your experience with workspace, advice, and help on builds. Bring or build a configuration and turn it into something you can keep expanding on.

We have challenges for you in familiar and new flavors, both fun and educational for all levels. Learn about the latest in development with Claude Code, dig into local small models, and discover fun combos of tech to get the most out of your home builds.

New to this?
The AI Maker Corner on the second floor is a quieter drop-in space for asking first questions. Start there if you want to, then come down here when you are ready to build.
We’ve got the parts; you’ve got the brains. Let’s build something dangerously fun.
