Windsurf Open Build powered by The AI Collective Cape Town

We’re bringing Windsurf to Cape Town – the AI-native coding tool that’s rethinking what it means to code in flow. This is about building together, learning from each other, and pushing what’s possible when you mix great tools with even better people.

This is the first time The AI Collective Cape Town and Windsurf are teaming up locally, and we’re doing it properly. Real conversations, hands-on building (please bring your laptops!), and the kind of energy that makes you want to stick around (plus there will be free swag and snacks!). Bring your colleagues, friends and laptops for an evening of open building with AI Collective and Windsurf!

What You’re Getting

Free Windsurf Pro access plus a ton of free tokens to experiment with. You’ll leave with the tools to keep building.Tech support essentials so you can build with confidenceProper hands-on time to actually create something, not just watch demosLightning rounds from our advocates showing what they’ve builtComplimentary snacks and drinksSpringboard prompts, we’ll give you starter ideas and challenges to get you playing around with Windsurf straight away
