Hackathon: ARI.Software and Claude Code
Toronto Tech Week is a citywide celebration of the people building what’s next. From May 25–29, founders, investors and builders come together for hundreds of community-led events across Toronto, connecting tens of thousands of people around Canadian tech.
ARI.Software is an AI-native, open-source, self-hosted hyper-personal workspace for managing tasks, docs, notes, contacts, knowledge, and workflows in one place. ARI’s magic is that it also lets you build your own custom modules in minutes with no code, giving you a unified system so you can do your best work and live your best life.
ARI is deeply personal and flexible. Using AI tools like Claude Code you can quickly create modules tailored to your exact needs, whether that is a CRM, fitness tracker, shipment dashboard, financial manager, invoice generator, prompt library, voice notes tool, content planner, or something entirely unique. Every module is editable, remixable, and shareable, so your software can adapt to how you think and operate.
Important details:
- We’re excited to invite you to the live ARI Hackathon on May 27 from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. EST.
