Generathon : 24h to Build the Future of Content

UPDATE: The Generathon is full, but if you have time on Sunday evening, 👉 [Join the demo night instead]

The Generathon is here! Join us on August 1-2 in Paris, for a 24-hour hackathon where 50 of the sharpest builders create the next generation of AI-generated content and creative tools, competing for €1,500 in cash and tool credits.

Brought to you by Le Motif (AI creative & content creator, 1,000+ member creative community), and powered by We Are Founders (400+ Paris founders community), the Generathon is where AI artists, developers, and storytellers come together to push what's possible when creativity meets frontier models.

This isn't about building yet another chatbot. It's about making something people actually want to watch, share, and use.

⚙️ Event details

Teams of 1-3 have 24 hours to build, then pitch live to our jury on Sunday afternoon. Pick one of three tracks, ship something real, and compete for the win.
