Build a functional AI-native prototype in São Paulo from 28–30 August 2026, tackling real payments or logistics challenges for a $25,000 prize pool. Co-organised by Yuno and Nauta, NextWave Hackathon 2026 brings builders together to address a real product and technology challenge. Yuno and Nauta work across global payments, supply chains and logistics, giving participants the opportunity to create technology with direct relevance to industries that move money and goods around the world. The in-person hackathon runs from 8pm on Friday 28 August until 8am on Sunday 30 August (GMT-3) in São Paulo. The precise venue will be shared with approved participants. What you’ll do Working in a team of four, you will: - Build a functional prototype around a real challenge - Explore the future of payments, logistics and AI-native technology - Decide what to prioritise and turn an idea into a working solution - Demonstrate your problem-solving, product thinking, creativity and execution - Present the finished prototype to company leaders Winning teams will compete for a $25,000 prize pool, awarded through a combination of cash and OpenAI credits. This emphasis on a functioning prototype,not simply a concept or slide deck,makes NextWave a practical test of how effectively your team can make decisions and deliver under time pressure. Who should apply? The organisers are looking for anyone who can build, including experienced professionals, final-year students and recent graduates in computer engineering or related fields. Applicants should have B1-level English or above, an eagerness to learn and the ability to think like product creators. Coding skill matters, but selection also considers judgement, motivation, creativity, experience and diversity of profiles. Teams must contain four participants. Each person registers individually and should submit the same team name. If you do not yet have a team, you may join one during the selection process.

Hosted by AI Devs SP

O AI Devs SP reúne a comunidade de software em São Paulo para explorar, na prática, como a IA está transformando todo o ciclo de desenvolvimento (SDLC). Marcado para 13 de agosto de 2026, às 18h30, o encontro presencial acontece no CUBO, na Alameda Vicente Pinzon, 54, Vila Olímpia, em São Paulo. A proposta é ir além do uso de IA como simples autocomplete e mostrar como novas ferramentas, agentes e metodologias podem mudar a forma de construir, entregar e operar software. O que esperar O formato combina lightning talks, demonstrações de código funcionando ao vivo e um caso real de produção. A comunidade privilegia experiências concretas: o que funcionou, o que quebrou e quais cuidados foram necessários para levar soluções baseadas em IA além do protótipo. Embora os detalhes desta edição e os nomes de palestrantes ainda não tenham sido anunciados, os temas trabalhados pelo AI Devs SP incluem: - Assistentes e agentes de código, como Devin, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor e Kiro; - Agentes autônomos, orquestração multiagente e MCP; - AI-DLC, SDD, BMAD e Spec-Driven Development; - Engenharia de contexto e engenharia de prompts; - Containers, cloud e plataformas de IA, incluindo AWS Bedrock; - Segurança, revisão e governança de código gerado por IA, com referências como OWASP LLM; - Prevenção de dívida técnica e adoção responsável, inclusive em ambientes regulados. As discussões não ficam presas a uma única linguagem ou ecossistema. A comunidade aborda aplicações em Java, .NET, Golang, Python, JavaScript e outras stacks, sempre com foco no impacto da IA sobre o trabalho cotidiano de engenharia. Para quem é O meetup é indicado para desenvolvedores, engenheiros de software, tech leads e profissionais que querem aplicar IA ao desenvolvimento. Também é relevante para quem avalia práticas de qualidade, segurança e governança antes de colocar código gerado por IA em produção. Não há um nível de experiência obrigatório informado: o ponto em comum é o interesse em aprender com demonstrações e casos reais, sem hype.
