Event Summary
The Manus VibeCraft Summitry on May 23 brought together 40 builders—developers, designers, students, and product thinkers—for an afternoon of rapid prototyping and AI-enabled creativity.
Held at Berkeley Summit House, the event centered around “vibe coding”: building real applications in hours using Manus’s general AI agent and natural-language prompts. Teams of 1–3 formed organically and built over 22 diverse projects in just three hours—ranging from healthcare tools and gesture-controlled visualizations to education platforms and emoji generators.
All demos were presented live in 3-minute sessions. One of the highlights was the dual-mode judging process, where winners were selected through:
- Evaluation by Manus AI (autonomously ranking projects through prompt/code evaluation)
- Special awards curated by the host venue or based on quantitative criteria
- A participant-led vote for the most popular projects
