Overview
Simplify building your tech stack with AI is the second Stripe Eindhoven Community event, organized by the Eindhoven community and run together with One Horizon. It is a hands-on, in-person workshop for developers who want to take an idea and turn it into a working application while exploring Stripe Projects, AI-assisted development, and Stripe's developer tools. The session is built around participants actually building something during the afternoon, rather than sitting through a lecture-style talk.
The workshop is designed for people who want to move from concept to code to a working product. Participants set up their development environment, integrate Stripe, and build a working solution, with the goal of experimenting, learning, and showcasing what they create.
Who should attend
The workshop is open to developers, CTOs, AI builders, startup founders, and anyone interested in building with Stripe and AI. No specific project is required in advance, but participants should arrive ready to experiment and build.
What you will build
Participants learn to build their own project using Stripe and modern AI development tools. During the session, you will:
- Start with a project idea and turn it into a working product
- Build and integrate Stripe-powered functionality
- Experiment with AI coding tools and agentic development
- Use the Stripe CLI and other developer tools
- Build, test, and iterate on your project
- Optionally demo your project and share your experience with other builders
Agenda
The event runs from 1:45 PM to 5:00 PM CET and follows this schedule:
- 1:45 PM to 2:15 PM CET: Break and walk-in

- 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM CET: Opening and closing, where results are shared and discussed
- 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM CET: Drinks and networking
The breakout workshop is the core of the afternoon, giving participants uninterrupted time to build. The closing segment gives builders a chance to share what they made and compare approaches.
