About
Join the Build with Lovable Hackathon Baku, a one-day in-person event designed for students, first-time founders, and aspiring builders. No prior coding experience is required, as teams will leverage the powerful Lovable AI app builder to bring their ideas to life.
Participants will collaborate in teams to conceptualize, build, and demo a functional web application within a single day. The goal is to transform an innovative idea into a working prototype, showcasing the potential of AI-powered development.
At the end of the day, teams will present their creations live to a panel of judges. All participants will receive certificates, and the top three teams will be awarded Lovable credits to continue their building journey.
