For whom

Made for beginners.

This hackathon is for entrepreneurs and employees who are convinced of AI but do not yet know how to build something with it themselves. No technical background needed.

You believe in AI

You see the value of AI, but building something yourself still feels like a black box. Today that changes.

Never vibe coded

No problem. We start from scratch: theory in the morning, building in the afternoon. By the end you have your first working tool.

Who's there

You'll be guided by Marc, Maarten and René.

Empathree's founders are there all day to help you along, from your first step to your working tool.

What participants say.

Entrepreneurs who learned to build with AI themselves at Empathree.

Before, I typed a wall of text into the chat every single time. Now Claude knows exactly where I stand with my business at any moment. Within a few weeks I learned how to build it myself.

Frank Bruin

It was time to automate repetitive tasks. The first skills are already running on my least interesting work, so I can spend more time with my client.
