MVP with AI in One Day? – Hackathon Recap
On Saturday, July 26th 2025, innovation met collaboration at the MVP with AI in One Day? Hackathon, hosted by KI-Garage in cooperation with Andreas Diehl (Bitquadrat), Alexander C.S. Hendorf (Pioneers Hub gGmbH), and Georg Warsitz. With generous support from the SRH Gründerinstitut, which provided the venue, participants came together for one day to explore how AI agents can fast-track prototyping and product thinking.
A Day Full of Energy and Ideas
After a relaxed Welcome Coffee (09:00–09:30), the event began with a Kickoff & Challenge Presentation (09:30–10:15), where participants got to build teams and solve the provided challenges or present their own problems to solve in an MVP later. By 11:00, 7 teams were formed and ready to build.
The Hacking Phase (11:00–16:00) was buzzing with activity: from rapid prototyping to prompt engineering, teams explored creative applications of AI. During the midday lunch break, and inbetween, vivid discussions and epxeriences and approaches were shared between the participants. In the Team Demos (16:00–17:00), each team shared their MVPs, followed by a short Q&A session and closing remarks (17:00–17:30). The day ended with relaxed Networking Drinks (17:30–18:30) to reflect and connect.
