About this event

What to expect

Experience a unique intersection of technology and Irish heritage at this one-day hackathon dedicated to building AI-powered projects for the Irish language and culture. Taking place at Dogpatch Labs in Dublin, this event brings together coders, Irish speakers, artists, musicians, and curious minds to collaborate on meaningful projects that preserve and promote Gaeilge in the digital age.

What to Expect

This fast-paced, collaborative event challenges teams to conceive, build, and demo Irish language projects in just seven hours. Whether you're passionate about natural language processing, cultural preservation, or creative applications of AI, you'll find a welcoming space to experiment with technologies like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to create tools, apps, or experiences that support the Irish language community.

Who Should Attend

No fluency in Irish or coding experience is required — this hackathon is designed for maximum accessibility and diversity of perspectives. You might be:

  • Developers interested in NLP and language AI applications
  • Irish speakers who want to see technology serve Gaeilge better
  • Artists and musicians exploring creative tech applications for cultural expression
  • Students and curious learners eager to contribute to meaningful projects
  • AI enthusiasts from the CHAI Dublin community looking to apply their skills to cultural preservation

The Experience

Form a team on the day, brainstorm ideas, and bring your concept to life using whatever tools suit your vision. Teams have used platforms like Bubble, Glide, Voiceflow, and Replit in similar hackathons to rapidly prototype working demos. You'll work alongside others who share your passion for Irish culture, conclude with team presentations, and compete for prizes celebrating the most innovative solutions.

Hosted by CHAI Dublin (Chatbot & AI) Meetup at the collaborative Dogpatch Labs venue, this hackathon offers an energetic atmosphere where technology meets tradition. Whether you're building language learning tools, cultural archives, creative installations, or chatbots that speak Irish, you'll leave with new connections and hands-on experience in AI for good.
