Genius DevCamp

Genius DevCamp is an in-person and online not-for-profit developer event focused on creating applications using next-generation AI and machine learning—such as Apple Intelligence or Google Gemini—and causal reinforcement learning. Attendees are encouraged to develop native and web applications during the event.

This event is hosted by the all-volunteer team who produced iPhoneDevCamp, iPadDevCamp, iOSDevCamp and VisionDevCamp. More details on the team and its history are available on the History page.

Our host this year is UC Santa Cruz, at their lovely and spacious Silicon Valley Extension Campus. On hand will be Brian Baumann, Director of Capital Markets for NYSE, who will help to judge the Idea Contest along with a few investor friends and representatives from our other sponsors:

• Google
• Product Genius
• Archipelo
• Silicon Valley Virtual Reality

Can't make it in person? Don't worry! We will be running the entire event online simultaneously—and your ticket gives you full access to our community and our mentors. Please join us online, from wherever you are in the world.

Event attendees will include winners from past Developer Camp events, plus a hand-picked selection of veteran developers. This event is intended to provide the winners with the chance to get their ideas funded.

Unique to this event is early access to the "Genius AI/UX" Platform, provided by our sponsor Product Genius. This system is the only AI that performs experiments, abstracts principles from large scale experimental data and pursues goals. The platform unlocks amazing new workflows when combined with systems like Apple Intelligence or Google Gemini.

The baseline requirement for working with Genius AI/UX Platform is merely a working knowledge of JavaScript. You may use any framework that you wish (Web, mobile, native, cross-platform) to implement your solution.

Here are some examples of the types of solutions you could create using the Genius AI/UX:

1. Product marketplaces of any kind (Product Genius, Inc.)
2. Caretaker marketplaces for children or grandparents
3. Commercial real-estate properties
4. Hotel room and tourist activity booking
5. Video, news or other content recommendations
6. Coupon systems, as for Groceries
7. Music recommendations for listening or practice
8. Artwork or craft recommendations
9. Theater or other event recommendations
10. Substack or podcast feeds
11. Suggestions for possible plans about what to do this weekend

13. Summary notes from each of the meetings that happened this week at my company
14. Social media post feeds
15. Career mentorship and coaching suggestions
16. Career advice nuggets of wisdom
