OpenAI Codex Build Week Comes to Miami! Join us for food and a casual meetup celebrating OpenAI Codex Build Week. Codex is OpenAI’s coding agent that helps you build, understand, and ship software faster with AI. Whether you already use Codex or are simply curious about coding agents, this meetup is an opportunity to meet other builders, exchange ideas, and explore how AI is changing the way we create software. During the event, you can: Meet developers, founders, students, and other members of Miami’s tech community Discuss project ideas and learn how others are using Codex Experiment with the latest models, including GPT-5.6, Sol, Terra, and Luna Build or prototype something using the Codex credits provided at the event Share what you are working on in a relaxed and welcoming environment We’ll provide $100 in Codex credits for attendees to build with during the meetup. Food will also be covered, so bring your laptop, your ideas, and your appetite. No formal presentation or previous Codex experience is required. Come meet other builders, try something new, and have a great time.

OpenAI Build Week Comes to Miami Join us for OpenAI Build Week in Miami: an evening where builders, founders, designers, and product people come together to make something real with OpenAI Codex. No panels about the future. No vague AI hype. We’re going to build. You’ll see how modern teams are using AI coding agents to move from idea to working product faster than ever. We’ll build one app together live using OpenAI Codex, then watch two demos of real products being built with Codex in actual workflows. 💡 What You’ll Experience 🎁 Free OpenAI Codex tokens credited to attendees so you can build live with us during the evening. 🔸 Part 1: Live Build Session — One App, Built Together with OpenAI Codex We’ll create one working app together using OpenAI Codex. You’ll see the full workflow: shaping the idea, generating code, reviewing changes, debugging, improving the interface, and turning a rough concept into a real product experience. 🔸 Part 2: Real Product Demo 1 — Building with Codex in the Wild A live demo of a real product workflow powered by OpenAI Codex, with a practical look at how builders are using AI coding agents beyond toy examples. 🔸 Part 3: Real Product Demo 2 — From Idea to Shipped Feature Another hands-on product demo showing how Codex can help teams move faster across product, design, engineering, and iteration. Schedule 6:00 PM – 6:45 PM: Doors Open & Networking Connect with Miami builders, founders, designers, students, and AI enthusiasts before we start building. 6:45 PM – 7:00 PM: OpenAI Build Week Kickoff What Build Week is, how the global hackathon works, and how to get the most out of the night. 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM: Live Build Session with OpenAI Codex We’ll build one app together from scratch and walk through the real workflow step by step. 8:00 PM – 8:15 PM: Codex Demo 1 A live demo of a real product being built with OpenAI Codex. 8:15 PM – 8:30 PM: Codex Demo 2 A second live demo focused on shipping faster with AI-assisted development. 8:30 PM – 9:30 PM: Closing, Builder Connections & Next Steps Meet collaborators, talk through project ideas, and learn how to keep building after the meetup.
