Last week, we teamed up with @MistralAI for our “Make SF Better” hack night and awarded over $2K in prizes!
The challenge was simple: build something that makes life in San Francisco better for a resident, business owner, or visitor using open SF datasets.
The projects were ambitious. Teams built tools to:
- Help people find contractors
- Identify encampments underserved by support services
- Connect people with volunteer opportunities
- Use geographic and streetlight data to find safer walking routes
And plenty more. It was exciting to see people put their skills toward problems right here in our city.
Thanks to everyone who pulled up, and a big congrats to the winners! See y’all at the next one :)

@JDArmada Thanks for organizing luma.com/mistral-elastic yesterday. Had lots of fun. The tool I built using @elastic and @MistralAI at the hackathon is live at sfpermits.53bits.com.
You have a specific visual in your head, but have no idea which file it’s in.
This walkthrough uses Jina embeddings + Elasticsearch to search video by describing what you’re looking for, in natural language: go.es.io/4siXJBX
You receive back the matching scene with timestamps.
we're headed to agntcon & mcpcon tomorrow!! we'll see you at booth 43
& you're invited to the best afterparty:
join us, @elastic, and @apollographql tomorrow evening for drinks, laughs, and networking with fellow founders and agent builders

tired: AI generated slides

time to find more engaging formats when generating stuff is cheap (and boring)
Super fun #SFTechWeek event with Rootly, PostHog and Convex, felt like a merging of different worlds and audiences. Great opportunity to talk shop with a bunch of interesting founders and hear about what they were building. Also met some cool peeps in community to collaborate with in the near future. Time and time again i'm reminded of how important it is to get together in person, not only to learn but to open doors and get things done. 💪 Off to the next one tonight!

Tomorrow evening in SF @TryArcade, @Mastra, and @Elastic are partnering to host an MCP for GTM workshop on October 8th during #SFTechWeek.
I'll be joined by @abhiaiyer, Co-Founder and CTO at Mastra, and @JDArmada, Developer Rel at Elastic.
Four hours, hands-on.
We'll build an agent an account executive would ask to approve a discount and to double-check its work, to enterprise grade standard.
You'll start from scratch and leave with a template you can keep building on.
Mastra runs your agent, Elastic teaches the grounding, and Arcade handles the governance.
