The AI-native code editor designed for high-velocity development through deep LLM integration.

Cursor is a fork of VS Code that embeds AI directly into the development workflow while maintaining full extension compatibility. It leverages models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o to power features such as Cmd+K for inline edits and Cmd+L for codebase-wide chat. By indexing local files, Cursor provides precise context for its predictive 'Tab' completions and multi-file 'Composer' mode. This setup allows engineers to move from high-level intent to functional code without leaving the editor or losing context.

### [From Meow to Mastery: Building MathCat’s Adaptive Learning Platform](https://hong-kong.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_nk7cD0uzBpI)

MathCat.fun is an adaptive, bilingual math and science practice platform for Hong Kong primary school children, aligned to the EDB curriculum and playable as a Progressive Web App. For this demo, I’ll walk through the full stack, not just the game UI. Live, I’ll briefly show the working app (different play modes, leaderboard, rewards shop, etc); but will focus more on the backend: (1) the question-generation and validation workflow – the balance between deterministic and probabilistic models to achieve the best outcome and my learnings; (2) talk about the AI critic pipeline (Gemini + GPT-5) that scores each question template on Cantonese naturalness, HK school terminology, hint quality, and age fit (3) the adaptive progression architecture—mastery gates, recent-accuracy windows, skill unlocks, etc; (4) the overall architecture.

### [Construindo Linr, um editor interativo de timelines com Deepseek rodando no Cursor](https://curitiba.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_xqVhn6TV5MI)

O Linr é um editor online de timelines visuais - útil para checkpoints, milestones, diagramas, eventos historicos, registros de viagem, funil de vendas e afins. Configurei os modelos DeepSeek V4 dentro do Cursor usando o Cline como harness, porque o agente nativo do Cursor não aceita rotear para a API da DeepSeek. Com esse setup rodando, o Linr saiu do zero. Na demo ao vivo eu mostro, em três atos: O setup : por que o caminho obvio não funciona (o agente do Cursor recusa a chave externa) e como o Cline resolve isso dentro da mesma IDE. O coração: pego o Linr num estado inacabado e dou uma tarefa real ao agente rodando DeepSeek ao vivo - uma feature que falta ou um bug - e vocês veem o modelo construindo software de verdade, com o custo em dolar subindo na tela. O payoff: abro o app funcionando e mostro quanto custou, em tokens e em dólar, chegar ali.

### [How We Built AI Agents That Buy Media Across 10+ Ad Platforms](https://seattle.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_6LZbpmkAStQ)

Synter is an agentic AI platform that autonomously manages paid media campaigns across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit, X, and Microsoft Ads. I'll demo the live system: how agents create campaigns, adjust bids, allocate budgets, and generate ad creatives in real time — no human clicking required. We'll look at the agent execution loop, the MCP server that lets Claude and Cursor control ad accounts directly, and the cross-channel dashboard that unifies data from all platforms.

### [New AI visibility tool made 99% with vibe coding](https://valencia.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_UStdYlRZtOI)

I built Crecerank, a tool designed to boost your brand’s visibility across the AI landscape. Crecerank is a brand monitoring platform that helps you understand the "why" behind every AI recommendation. We analyze exactly why an AI (like ChatGPT) chooses your competitor over you and identify the specific variables driving that decision. By focusing on the Latin American market and using human-behavior simulations, we deliver real, transparent data. With 64% of people now using AI to guide their buying decisions, the cost of being invisible is too high.

### [Don't Lose the Engineering: Parallel Development with AI Agents, Human Orchestration & a Real Methodology](https://medellin.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_KgLs7C6JZlQ)

We built an internal development methodology and orchestration system where AI agents develop features in parallel — coordinated by human architects — shipping an international-grade SaaS product in 3 months. The demo shows our real workflow: how we structure agent-driven development cycles, how our CTO/CPO + backend architect (Lorgi) + frontend architects (Francisco, Mike) validate and audit every AI-generated output, and how we stripped Scrum down to what actually works — killing the bureaucracy and replacing it with product development iterations focused on real value. I'll walk through our local-first approach where each engineer runs their own AI pipeline before integration, our governance structure, and how we recovered engineering rigor after almost losing it to uncontrolled vibe coding. Live demo on our actual codebase and orchestration tools.

### [Repurposing Cursor as an Expert System for Astrology](https://hong-kong.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_rmtmM_-zJ-4)

I will be taking astrology chart data from the Astro Gold app, inputting that data into the context window of Cursor using a model such as Composer or Sonnet, and then prompting the agent live to demonstrate a reading of an astrology chart. I will use it to read the chart of a famous person or entity (such as the formation of AI Tinkerers HK). The agent will be configured using a Markdown file that educates the agent how to read astrology data. Planetary and interpretative data will be exported from Astro Gold for use by the agent. One of the biggest problems with astrology apps is that they are one directional and lack the all important context necessary an interpretation to properly translate. For example, most existing apps such as Costar, AstroGold and The Pattern are one-way broadcast communication, but lack the ability for a user to interact in a conversational way. By using the data from one of these apps we can provide the background data that is needed for an agent to simulate the functionality of an astrology app. However, using the right prompts, we can then have two way communication with the provided interpretations. For example if the app had provided a reading that said "This will be a high energy day" the onus would fall on the user to try and map this interpretation to its meaning. However utilizing a coding agent, we can tell the coding agent the events of that day, to get an interpretation for that specific contextual data. As a practicing astrologer, I know from experience that the most difficult part of reading a chart is seeing through mountains of seemingly contradictory data. When you add up all of the aspects, signs and houses there is something like 13 octillion possible charts. I originally got the idea for this when I realized that artificial intelligence is adept and analyzing large sets of disparate data. I have used Cursor in live readings, with the client's observation, to assist me in providing recommendations. About me: - Two master's degrees: Information Security Policy and Management from Carnegie Mellon. Master's in Business Administration from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. - Currently a founding engineer at an AI cybersecurity startup that provides agent observation and governance - 10+ years software engineering experience in blockchain, finTech, healthTech, e-commerce and banking - 8 years professional practicing astrologer with hundreds of clieints I have a YouTube channel where I talk about the intersection of spirituality and pragmatism.

### [Coding with AI: What Works & What Doesn't](https://manchester-nh.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_WlqmhQoEJnw)

We all know AI dev tools are powerful, but they can also be incredibly frustrating if you use them wrong. In this session, I'll share my personal "dos and don'ts" for navigating the current landscape of AI assistants. We'll cover the right (and wrong) ways to use different tools, and how to avoid the common traps that actually slow you down. Finally, I’ll show you what happens when you build your own rules: a live demo of a self-learning agent I built with Claude Code and mcp.json that records sessions, writes its own memories, and gets smarter as I code.

### [Local LLMs, Free Guy and Text Adventure Games](https://columbus.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_RMcE14lZOPg)

Watching a Guy Royse talk at CodeMash this year sparked ideas of how far a local LLM could go to both run and build a text-based adventure game generator. Using Cursor, I am building a web editor for building your worlds filled with AI generation of every aspect of the game. Demoing the world, we will modify to show you can play those changes and interact (and watch the LLM create interactive objects that you didn’t build in).

### [De la idea a la implementación: cómo convertir "charlas" en proyectos reales](https://manizales.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_kc6m3ZReNlg)

En esta charla voy a profundizar en cómo ha sido el proceso detrás de los diferentes proyectos que hemos mostrado a lo largo del año en AI Tinkerers Manizales: desde la primera chispa de la idea, pasando por la fase de experimentación, hasta llegar a prototipos funcionales y usos reales. Voy a compartir qué cosas funcionaron, qué no, qué atajos tomé, qué errores cometí y qué aprendí en el camino, para que otros tinkerers puedan acelerar sus propios proyectos de IA y llevarlos más rápido del “sería chévere hacer esto” a “ya lo tengo corriendo”.

### [How I use Skills to make coding agents use proprietary libraries](https://boston.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_rwHcgEJSAFU)

Making coding agents use proprietary/internal libraries correctly has been an ongoing frustration of mine. Zero examples in the LLM's training set, no online docs, and internal docs are sparse and lag behind. Not a great environment for a coding coding. Modern "ripgrep" agents work occasionally (when they trace into the source), but are still pretty hit'n'miss. Two weeks ago I found a solution: Skills. Skills are, in a nutshell, lazy-loaded instructions for your coding agent. I've successfully used them to create guides on how to use proprietary libraries and they have worked pretty well for me so far. In my talk I will show you how I structure them and how I think through their creation. If the WiFi is stable, I will also show you an example where I will ask a coding agent to one-shot a small AI chat app using a custom agent SDK that I am building.

### [Building AI Product Manager. Using AI to help PMs move faster and enable engineers/founders to do product work like a pro.](https://austin.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp___WUqum47bQ)

AI is dramatically increasing engineering throughput. As a result, the new constraint is product management capacity and reach: choosing the right things to build, translating intent into crisp requirements, and keeping teams aligned through delivery. But it’s risky to blindly offload critical product decisions to AI—especially the “what should we build and why?” layer. "Sure, let’s put that on autopilot… what can go wrong?" After 10+ years leading product teams, I built northstar.pm to help PMs move faster and enable engineers/founders to do product work like a pro. The goal isn’t to replace product thinking with a tool; it’s to define and operationalize quality standards across the team: how problems are framed, PRDs are written, and requirements are structured.

### [Preventing prompt injection: An MVP solution](https://amsterdam.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_6fLf-ZhblUA)

DoneThat is an AI work tracker - it takes screenshots and analyzes those to automate time tracking. It has several opportunities for prompt injection: * A chat-based agent * "Memories" that refine processing * The screenshots themselves I will walk through the basics for preventing abuse (rate limiting, authentication, etc) but then focus on preventing prompt injection. I am working on this right now so can't say what the exact solution will be but most likely using LLMs to identify and flag potential abuse. I will walk through the options considered, why I selected the one I chose, and the final implementation on live data. Can also do a live demo.
