Welcome to Season 2 of Create With! 🌠

⏪ June IRL Recap

It's been just over a month since Create With 2025 in London and when it came to keeping the good vibes going you understood the assignment!

We hosted a kickoff to The World's Largest Hackathon up in Leeds, UK then held our first international Create With Maker Meetup in Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸. A massive thank you to Sonia Toqqe who hosted and brought together local makers and local AI enthusiasts.

Our next event brought Kieran and Matt to Barcelona to do a recap with Nicolas Grenié on how to vibe code an app with Lovable (and launch it to a top spot on Product Hunt).

We rounded off the month by James taking part in the Bubble builder house at a resort in Crete, Greece 🇬🇷 (check out the interview down below).

We're just getting warmed up so if you want Create With to come to your city and you want to host an event get in our DMs!

what's next..

🌴 Human-First AI Retreats

A hybrid of co-working, hackathon, and deep-dive workshop designed to help ambitious people actually ship something with AI - while surrounded by nature, good food, and likeminded peers. Get on the waitlist here​

🔊 On your radar

Keep your finger on the pulse of what we think is hot in the space right now 🔥

⭐️ Building in your terminal with Google Gemini and Claude Code is actually feasible for us none coders.

👉 This matters because: Yes, it's another shiny tool but we can't help playing around. Here's a helpful explainer video. The key is it's free. Claude Code is wildly more expensive. Have a play that's all we ask.

⭐️ Software 3.0 is around the corner and we got a glimpse.

​

👉 This matters because: for the curious it's just a really well explained vision of what the future might look like from the guy who termed the phrase 'to vibe code'. Pour yourself a cuppa and watch like a Ted talk

Our main take away is that english will be the new programming language. This is great news for none-coders with ideas they want to bring to life.

⭐️ You can build apps and share within Anthropic's Claude

👉 This matters because: if you're already using Claude it's one less bit of friction. But it's also a super simple way to start tinkering with the most popular tools. It's definitely only for MVPs as there is no backend (database) support. Get inspired by their simple walkthroughs for creating games and others apps.

The Create With 2025 fireside conversation is out!

The session that kicked off the Create With Conference with Jonas Templestein (co-founder of Monzo and now building Iterate.com) is now available to view!

He shares his opinions the rise of AI agents, self-driving startups, how his own workflow has radically changed with LLMs, and the new productivity frontier unlocked by voice and real-time research tools. If you're an indie hacker, engineer, or founder trying to figure out how to ride the AI wave, this is a must-watch. Thank you to Charlie Ward for facilitating this brilliant session!

Stay tuned to the newsletter and our socials. Videos from this year's conference will be released weekly over the next month.

Escape to the sun-drenched coast of Crete with us for a very special, on-location episode of the Create With Podcast!

James is live from Bubble House Greece, the ultimate get-together for the world's most passionate no-code builders. In this episode, we sit down with the incredible Sarah Esteve, a certified Bubble developer, consultant, and the founder of Bubble House. We're also joined by Theo Goldberg from Bubble, who gives us the inside scoop on the electrifying hackathon centered around Bubble's newly launched native mobile builder.

⚡️ Over 130k Builders for The World's Largest Hackathon

Yesterday marked the finish line for a record setting month where over one hundred and thirty thousand, yes thousand, builders across the world competed for over $1M in prizes hosted by Bolt.new.

Create With joined the Vibe Coding Challenge on Maven and mentored across different channels to help dozens of builders to publish their submissions. Shout out to Harold and Ciara for co-hosting an amazing community program.

We want to extend our congratulations to Tanya Van Gastel who just sold her AI startup after presenting at the Create With Conference in May 🥳

Tanya Van Gastel @twizzles7 Big news: I just sold my AI startup 🤯 Six-figure exit. Honestly... I'm still processing it. I'm having a strange (and interesting) impostor feeling about whether or not this is all real. 3:9 PM • Jul 1, 2025 0 Retweets 3 Likes Read 2 replies

Tanya is such a shining example of what this whole movement is about! We can't wait to see more of you learn, connect, build and create an impact with this current era we're in!
