Gradio Builders Guild ⚔️

The official alumni network for Gradio Hackathon builders.

Who We Are

This is the community that emerged from Gradio's hackathon series—starting with the Agents & MCP Hackathon (4,200+ builders, 600+ projects) and the MCP 1st Birthday (6,300+ builders).

This org is the home base: a place to ship projects, find collaborators, and stay connected between events.
