The demo
What it looks like when it’s working
In the room · 45 minutes
What you’ll build
Upload a photo — your face OR your pet's face. Pick from four preset styles (e.g. Pixar, anime). AI returns one stylized avatar.
The moment it clicks
“My cat looks like a Pixar character.”
Things to think about
While you build
- Your input rules are the design — faces only? full body? pets too? Pick one rule and stick to it. It shapes every prompt you write.
- One avatar at a time. Bulk generation, animations, multiple sizes — all polished version.
- Assume people will share these — your output is the marketing. Pick styles that screenshot well.
The 2-hour Jam rhythm
How the night flows
Every Coding Jam follows the same five-phase shape. Talking is short, building is long.
- 0:00 – 0:05Intro
Welcome, name tags, snacks within reach. The facilitator sets the tone: low pressure, high creativity, ship something messy.
- 0:05 – 0:15The Demo
Facilitator demos the polished version of tonight's project. Live or pre-recorded. The message: this is what's possible.
- 0:15 – 0:25Spec Talk
Walk the 5 questions on the projector. The output is a one-page PRD that Antigravity will turn into UI + engineering docs.
- 0:25 – 1:30Build (codelab)
Participants run the codelab. Antigravity writes the code; they direct it. Six phases inside this hour: Setup → Plan → Review → Build → API → Verify. Fix the doc, not the code.
- 1:30 – 2:00Sharing
Three volunteer screen-shares. Celebrate the messy, brilliant, half-finished prototypes. Quick wrap-up. Tease the next jam.
Polished version pulls in
Where to take it after the jam
The 45-minute build is the win in the room. These are the ideas you can pull in over the next week — your homework isn’t homework, it’s the polished version.
- Generate multiple avatars at once
- Animated avatars (subtle motion)
- Full character lore generator (name + backstory)
- Social media format presets (Twitter PFP, Discord, LinkedIn)
- User-defined style prompts
If you get stuck
Open one of these in the starter — safety nets, not requirements.
