About Event
Build Ai for Good
Combine Apple Intelligence or Google Gemini with next-generation reinforcement learning to create smarter and more efficient applications — on any platform.
In two months, dozens of engineers, designers and entrepreneurs will gather to explore the frontiers of machine learning. During our 48-hour idea competition, attendees will learn about the latest advancements in machine learning from the world’s foremost experts in the field.
Genius DevCamp follows the tradition of past events, highlighting inclusion, diversity and empowerment in the developer community. Attendees are encouraged to develop native and web applications during this exciting, cooperative, hackathon-style event.
We are thrilled to announce that Google, NYSE and UC Santa Cruz will sponsor us in-person and online, to connect developers around the world.
Genius AI/UX
Unique to our event is early access to the “Genius AI/UX” system, provided by our sponsor Product Genius. Their platform is billed as “foundational AI that pursues goals.” It is unique — and ahead of current market offerings.
The Genius Platform is the only AI that performs experiments, abstracts principles from large scale experimental data and pursues goals.
This is useful for things like:
- Product marketplaces
- Person to person matchmaking
- Commercial real-estate property recommendations
- Hotel room and tourist activity booking
- Video, news or other content recommendations
- Music recommendations for listening or practice
- Artwork or craft recommendations
- Social media post feeds
- Job candidate suggestions or jobs listings
- Stock recommendations
- Startup company ideas
- Work task suggestions or summaries
- Robotics and biotech experiments
Event schedule will include educational sessions on topics such as:
- AI / ML
- Software Engineering
- Product Design
- Security Engineering
- Open Source Toolchains
- Design Thinking
- Apple Intelligence
- Google Gemini
Our event is open to developers and entrepreneurs with a range of experience and skills. We hope you will join us for this revolutionary experience.
