Welcome to the Build-a-Bot Workshop, the 2026 evolution of the SAINTCON AI Village. This year we aren’t just hacking and chatting with AI models; we’re giving them life. Whether you’re a first-time tinkerer or a seasoned prompt-engineer, the AI Village is your factory floor to build a local model of your choice.
Come learn to assemble and deploy your own AI agents and builds. Our volunteers help everyone who has explored the challenges turn a working configuration into something they can keep expanding on.
