[OFFICIAL] Bonjour Girls in NYC - BG × Zo Buildathon: A Fun and Powerful Afternoon to Build Something Using AI
about this event
Stop scrolling. Start building. Join Bonjour Girls and Zo Computer for a fun, powerful, hands-on afternoon designed to turn AI curiosity into something real. You'll start with a focused Zo demo and platform walkthrough, then move straight into a guided vibe-coding sprint — shaping an idea, building a working project, and getting it ready to present. Come ready to make, test, and share. Leave with something you built, not just notes.
What You'll Do Learn Zo's platform through a focused demo and 101 session Turn an idea into a working project during the guided build sprint Get live support with ideation, building, and troubleshooting Present your project to a room of curious, engaged women Compete for Buildathon prizes
Competition Eligibility — Please Read The event is free to attend, and every participant gets a free Zo trial account with AI credits. To submit a project for judging and be eligible for prizes, you'll need to upgrade to a paid Zo personal account ($18/month, basic plan) before the presentation round. Buildathon winners receive $200 in AI credits each.
About Zo Zo is a personal cloud computer powered by an AI that helps you build and run real things: from websites and apps to automations and AI agents. Instead of forcing people to adapt to rigid software, Zo is designed to adapt to each person’s ideas, projects, and way of working. Zo runs your business and life with a cloud computer that works 24/7, and Zo is created by cofounders Rob (1st engineer at Substack) and Ben (early engineer at Stripe). Backed by the Collisons (Stripe), Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), and many friends. Learn more: zo.computer/your-zo
