About

Ayiti AI Hackathon is Haiti's 48-hour AI build challenge. In 2026, Ayiti AI and AyitiLab are bringing together builders from across Haiti to explore, experiment, and build with AI.

This is an event for Haitians, by Haitians, designed to bring developers, designers, researchers, and entrepreneurs together to turn ideas into working prototypes and products.

This year's theme is about building beyond ideal conditions. In Haiti, connectivity, electricity, data, and language can shape how technology works. Instead of treating these as limitations, we want teams to explore what they can build with them in mind.

Through this hackathon, we are:

  • Exploring today's AI stack, agents, RAG, offline and edge AI, and Kreyòl voice.

  • Building practical projects around real problems and local contexts.

  • Creating opportunities to learn, connect, showcase your work, and keep building after the hackathon.

This event is open to developers living in Haiti, from every department, — whether self-taught, university-trained, or somewhere in between. If you enjoy building and want to explore what AI can do in the Haitian context, this is for you.

Rooted in Haiti. Built for the world.
