“América Latina tiene 400 millones de personas interactuando con sistemas financieros que no fueron diseñados para explicarse. Chile es el primer país de la región con la infraestructura regulatoria, la apertura institucional y la comunidad de builders para cambiar eso, usando la IA como infraestructura cívica. Lo que hagamos acá va a marcar el estándar.”
“Chile tiene el talento, la regulación y el ecosistema para liderar este proceso en la región.”

Workshop Claude Code · DevEps × Bendita IA
23 abril 2026 · iF El Bosque, Santiago
Sala llena de developers, lightning talks de builders desde Brasil y México, y mucho — pero mucho — Claude Code corriendo en vivo. Tres horas donde se mezcló código real, demos sin libreto y la mejor energía que hemos visto en una sala técnica en mucho tiempo. Nadie vino a escuchar charlas: vinieron a construir, preguntar, romper cosas y compartir lo que están haciendo de verdad con IA.

What moves us
Our
philosophy
Build > Consume
We don't come here for panels. You arrive, you build, you ship.
Community > Networking
No business cards, no posturing. Real collaborations with builders moving projects.
Global with local roots
World-class standards applied to real problems in Chile and LATAM.
Judgment > Hype
AI that solves, not AI that impresses. We show code, not smoke.
Together > Alone
The best builders don't work alone. That's why we exist.
“AI in LATAM gets consumed. Commented. Debated. Here we build it.”
“Chile has the talent, the regulation and the ecosystem. What was missing was the space to build together.”
“What gets built today defines what Chile exports tomorrow.”
