Grok Bot Community Engineering London Hackathon Build community infrastructure, 20x better. An evening hackathon for community engineers, DevRels, organisers and builders, where Grok Bot and Cursor are the builders. Grok Bot holds the context and Cursor ships the code. Point them at a real community problem and build tooling that's 10x–20x better than what exists today. Build a bot that knows every channel you're in. Build a collab engine between communities. Build the event stack. Build something we haven't seen before. Live demos. Ship fast. Real communities 🤌
