Event Overview
A hands-on evening for builders who want to move beyond prompts and into production.
Join the Liquid Metal AI & Vercel teams at the Wordware offices for a guided workshop that flows straight into open hacking.
At the start of the event, you’ll learn how to spin up full-stack backends in Claude code using Liquid Metal Raindrop — no boilerplate, no setup headaches. Then you’ll put it to work using Vercel’s V0: building beautiful, performant frontends and deploying your projects seamlessly to production.
This event bridges the gap between tutorial and tinker. Whether you’re new to Claude code or already deep in the vibe-coding stack, you’ll leave with a working app, a clear understanding of Liquid Metal’s architecture, and hands-on experience shipping with Vercel V0 — all alongside some of the Bay Area’s most active AI builders.
Theme & Challenge — Vibe Coding with Purpose
This workshop-mini-hack is about turning intuition into infrastructure — and design into deployment.
At the start of the event, Liquid Metal engineers will lead a step-by-step build in Claude code, showing how to:
- Define event-driven backends using Raindrop’s declarative syntax
- Create SmartBuckets for storing and querying structured + multimodal data
- Wire agent memory and triggers to react to real-world events
Then, builders will extend those systems with Vercel V0, bringing the front-end to life:
- Spin up dynamic, production-grade UIs directly from Claude code prompts
- Connect V0 components to Raindrop APIs for real-time data flows
- Deploy instantly to Vercel for live demos and feedback loops
There will be prizes for exceptional projects, but think of this event as more of a learning experience than a strict competition.

LiquidMetal AI
LiquidMetal AI is building Raindrop, the first AI-native framework designed for AI coding assistants to build production-grade backend systems.
Through the Raindrop MCP (Model Context Protocol), AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Cursor learn the entire development playbook—from architecture and PRD generation, through test-driven development cycles, to deployment and validation. The framework provides declarative infrastructure, AI-native primitives
(SmartMemory, SmartBuckets, SmartSQL), and complete versioning so AI assistants can ship working applications with persistent memory, multimodal storage, and natural language database access—all while following best practices and maintaining full observability. Raindrop turns AI coding assistants into production-ready development partners that build real systems, not just prototypes.

Vercel
Vercel is the platform for frontend developers, enabling the fastest build times and the best developer experience for shipping web applications. With V0, Vercel’s AI-powered interface builder, developers can turn natural language prompts into production-ready UI components instantly. Vercel handles the rest — from edge deployment to scaling and performance optimization — so builders can focus on craft, not configuration. Together with Liquid Metal, Vercel makes it possible to go from idea to live app in a single day.

Venue Host
Wordware
Wordware is redefining how developers build with language models by giving them a full-stack framework for creating production-ready AI applications—without the glue code. Its Claude-native environment lets teams prototype, test, and deploy LLM features directly in code, unifying backend logic, prompts, and workflows in one place. From startups to enterprise labs, Wordware enables faster iteration, deeper visibility, and seamless collaboration for AI-driven products.
