The demo

What it looks like when it’s working

In the room · 45 minutes

What you’ll build

Two text boxes — paste resume text, paste job posting text. One button. AI returns tailored resume bullets, ready to copy. No PDF parsing, no cover letter, no interview prep, no Word export.

The moment it clicks

This is actually better than what I'd write.

Things to think about

While you build

  • 'Not building' is the lesson today. Skip the cover letter, the PDF parsing, the ATS scoring — every one of those is the polished version.
  • Paste the whole job posting, not just the title. The full text is half the prompt's quality.
  • Read the bullets the AI returns out loud. If you wouldn't actually say them in an interview, your prompt needs work — not the AI.
  • Ruthless focus is the personality. What you refuse to build is what makes this ship in 45 minutes.
The 2-hour Jam rhythm

How the night flows

Every Coding Jam follows the same five-phase shape. Talking is short, building is long.

  1. 0:00 – 0:05
    Intro

    Welcome, name tags, snacks within reach. The facilitator sets the tone: low pressure, high creativity, ship something messy.

  2. 0:05 – 0:15
    The Demo

    Facilitator demos the polished version of tonight's project. Live or pre-recorded. The message: this is what's possible.

  3. 0:15 – 0:25
    Spec Talk

    Walk the 5 questions on the projector. The output is a one-page PRD that Antigravity will turn into UI + engineering docs.

  4. 0:25 – 1:30
    Build (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.

  5. 1:30 – 2:00
    Sharing

    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.

  • Match score + missing keywords
  • PDF parsing for resume input
  • Cover letter generator
  • Interview question generator
  • Networking message writer
  • Application tracker
  • ATS scoring
If you get stuck

Open one of these in the starter — safety nets, not requirements.

  • context/long-context-handling.md
  • context/text-diff-pattern.md

Pasted a job I'd been procrastinating applying for. The bullets it returned made me realize I was actually qualified.
