Vancouver Startup Week - BuildDay 4 hours

Otavio Chaves — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 16:05:06 GMT

The BuildDay is a hackathon-style session where participants collaborate to turn real workflows into working AI tools.

Using vibe coding—building software with AI without traditional coding—the group rapidly prototypes solutions to real-world problems.

The event is open to anyone interested in building with AI, but the primary focus is on challenges and workflows from the construction and AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry.

In just a few hours, participants go from idea to working prototype, demonstrating how professionals can start building their own tools to automate tasks, improve workflows, and unlock new capabilities inside their organizations.

BuildDay 10 hours

Otavio Chaves — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 21:34:26 GMT

Not a conference. Not a workshop.
You actually build.

A structured one-day sprint where real AEC professionals tackle real problems — and leave with a working app, not just notes.

Bring any problem

A workflow that eats hours. A gap in your team's process. An idea you've had for months. Just show up with the problem.

Build with a team

Arrive solo and form a team on the day, or bring your crew. Groups of 6–8 work together with mentor support throughout.

Leave with something real

Not a mockup. Not slides. A working application you can use on Monday — and keep developing beyond the event.

Build Your Own AEC AI App (Live)

Otavio Chaves — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 17:31:52 GMT

Most AEC professionals already use AI chats like ChatGPT or Gemini.

For emails. Documents. Quick answers.

But very few know how to create AI that actually works for them — inside their own workflows.

So firms keep buying expensive software they never fully use…
and adapting their processes to tools that weren’t built for them.

If you’ve ever thought:
“this software should do this”
“this process could be easier”
“why am I still doing this manually?”

This session will show you the next shift already happening in AEC:

creating your own AI apps from scratch — without coding.

Join Archipelago for a live, hands-on session where a real AEC workflow becomes a working AI app — built step by step in front of you.

No technical background needed.
Just a clear view of how AI can actually work inside your firm.
