Make SF Better: A Hack Night with Mistral AI

What’s one thing you’d make better about life in San Francisco? Join us the evening before Elastic{ON} SF for a night of building with Mistral. Pick something you care about, like your commute, your neighborhood, or your favorite small business, and turn an idea into a working prototype. The challenge: build something that makes life in SF better for someone who lives here. A few places to start: Getting around: Make transit updates easier to understand or help people explore the city without a car. Neighborhood businesses: Build tools that help local shops reach customers, translate information, or save time. Public spaces: Help people discover parks, recreation facilities, public art, and neighborhood history. Community: Connect neighbors with volunteer opportunities, local gatherings, or ways to help. City information: Make public data and city services easier to navigate. You can start with SF’s open datasets, including 311 reports, business locations, parks, street trees, and public art. Or bring a problem you’ve experienced firsthand. We’ll spend the evening building and finish with quick demos. Show us who your project helps, what it does, and how someone could use it. Engineers, designers, creative technologists, and people with firsthand knowledge of SF’s everyday challenges are welcome. Bring your laptop, your curiosity, and something you’d love to improve.
