🏕️ AI — campai

Build with AI. Ship in 30 minutes. Compete all season.

🏕️ AI is a live AI build competition produced by Cortex Research Group. Builders join an X Space, get a 30-minute window to ship something on that night's theme, demo what they made, and rate each other's builds. Points carry across the season.

Live site: https://campai.cortexresearch.group

How the competition works

1. Sign up — create an account with your name, email, and a password.
2. Build — you get the window to build whatever you want on tonight's theme.
3. Submit — tell us what you made, how it works, what models you used, what it cost, and the prompts/issues you ran into.
4. Rate — everyone rates and comments on their favorite builds of the night.

How this repo works

This is the open space for people who want to help build the 🏕️ AI website itself — not a build submission. If you're here to submit a build for an episode, do that on the live site.

What's in here today

site/           Static landing page — HTML/CSS/JS, no build step, no dependencies

Running it locally

No install, no package manager, no build step. Clone and serve:

git clone https://github.com/cortexresearch/campai.git
cd campai/site
python3 -m http.server 5173
# open http://localhost:5173

Opening site/index.html directly in a browser also works.

Heads up on scope

The production app at campai.cortexresearch.group is a Next.js application with accounts, build submissions, ratings, and a season leaderboard. Its source is not in this repo yet — importing it is tracked as a pinned issue. Until then, contributions here target the static marketing/landing surface in site/, which is intentionally dependency-free so anyone can contribute with just a text editor and a browser.

Ways to help

• 🎨 Design & polish — layout, typography, motion, dark/light theming
• ♿ Accessibility — keyboard nav, focus states, contrast, screen-reader labels
• 📱 Responsive — phones through ultrawide; the site should never scroll sideways
• 📝 Copy — clearer explanations of the format, rules, and FAQ
• 🐛 Bugs — anything broken, anywhere

Browse good first issues to find something small to start with, or open an issue describing what you'd like to work on.

Read CONTRIBUTING.md before your first PR.
