About this event

What is this?
Every week, thousands of people build something with AI (an app, an agent, a workflow, an automation) and almost nobody sees it.

AI Makers Global is a live monthly event where the best of those builds get a spotlight.

Submit what you made. The community votes. The most upvoted submissions get featured live on stream with their creator.

Every other submission goes into the AI Makers Directory, a permanent public record of what the global AI maker community is building right now.

No pitch decks. No investor panels. No keynote speakers.
Just builders showing real things they actually made to the community of AI builders, collaborators, customers, and supporters.

Who should submit?
If you built something with AI in the last 30 days, submit it.

An app, an agent, a workflow, an automation, a tool, a prototype, a creative project. It doesn't have to be perfect.

It doesn't have to be a formal company. It just has to be real and live.
Indie hackers. Founders. Developers. Designers. Operators who automated something at work. Students. People who just started last week. If you made it, we want to see it.

How it works

April 23 to May 20: Submit your creation Fill out the submission form. Tell us what you built, what it does, and drop a link or a short demo video. The form opens one week before the event.

April 23 to May 20: Community votes Every submission goes live on the public voting page immediately after you submit. Share your submission with your own audience. The community upvotes what they want to see featured. The top voted submissions get selected for the live show.

The AI Makers Directory
Every submission, featured or not, gets published in the AI Makers Directory after the event at AI to Done. A permanent, searchable, public catalog of what real people built with AI in May 2026.

Think of it as a living document of AI's creative output. Browsable by tool, use case, and builder. Updated after every monthly event.
If you want your build discovered by the people who are most curious about what AI can actually do, this is where it lives.

Why watch live?
The directory you can browse any time. The live event you cannot.
Watching a founder show their build in real time is completely different from reading a product description. You'll see things that aren't in any newsletter. You'll get ideas you wouldn't have had otherwise. And if you have questions, you can ask them live in chat.

Hosted by Kev Page, AI to Done
Page has 14 years building community programs for platforms at 1M, 12M, and 100M users. He has helped developer communities grow at PagerDuty, Liquibase, and more.

AI to Done exists to surface the real AI conversation. Not the press releases and predictions. The things people are actually making. Sign-up for the newsletter at

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
