Build with Stripe Community: Simplify building your tech stack with AI

Join AI for Ecommerce for Build with Stripe Community: Simplify building your tech stack with AI—a short talk and hands-on hackathon.

We’re excited to have Cursor support this Stripe Community event by offering $75 in credits to hackathon attendees. This is in addition to the $250 Stripe credits eligible attendees can receive by getting on the Stripe Projects leaderboard.

We’ll explore how app development is changing, learn how Stripe Projects simplifies building your tech stack with AI agents, and then try it hands-on.

During this 90-minute session, you’ll use Stripe Projects to provision a real dev stack from the terminal—database, auth, hosting, credentials—in one session. Pick a project idea, initialize it, add a service, and build.

This event is for people who build with AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code or Codex, and anyone curious about how to move from an idea to a working app.

We are hosting as part of Future Legends! Hackathon where the theme is sustainability, smart infrastructure, civic innovation, and the future of connected cities. We highly recommend that your project can match the theme. However, it is not a requirement.

What you’ll need

1. A laptop—tablets won’t work for the hands-on portion.
2. An agentic coding environment, either IDE- or terminal-based.
3. A Stripe account. If you don’t already have one, you can create one during the event.
4. A charger for your laptop.

Come ready to build, compare notes, and share what you get running.
