Home for Asia's most ambitious builders
Hackathons, co-builds, and regional programs — Discord is home base; this site is your proof of work.
What is AI.SEA
AI.SEA is the home for builders shipping real AI across Asia.
We're a coalition of local communities, operators, and engineers focused on production systems — not pitch decks — under the constraints that actually matter.
We bring builders together to co-build, ship in the open, and learn by doing: hackathons, co-build sessions, sprints, and collaborations with serious tools and partners.
We're building shared infrastructure, faster feedback loops, and a credible way for ambitious builders to find each other — rooted in Southeast Asia, connected across Asia and beyond.
Who we've worked with
How it works
AI.SEA is a federation of chapter-led builder groups — from Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta to Hanoi, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and beyond. Sessions are run on the ground by people who build. AI.SEA connects those chapters so momentum doesn't stop at the border.
Shared Formats
Hackathons, co-build sessions, sprints, and challenges follow common formats. This keeps the bar clear and lets builders move between cities and communities without friction.
Build in public
Projects and progress is shared across communities. Ideas can be tested without judgement, feedback can be obtained, and partners can be found across multiple countries.
Serious Tools & Partners
Builders get access to real tooling, credits, and support from teams actually shipping AI.
Network
Asia-scale network, chapter-led roots
10,000+ builders, dozens of cities, one practice-forward community.
Headquartered in Southeast Asia — with collaborators and chapters spanning India, Japan, Australia, and more.
