A talk delivered at Hacktoberfest Lahore 2026, held on 17 October 2026 at the University of Lahore. The session, “Open Source: AI for Everyone!,” introduced a broad developer and student audience to practical, accessible ways of building with AI and OpenAI’s tools.
About the session
On Saturday, 17 October 2026, I spoke at Hacktoberfest Lahore 2026 at the University of Lahore, with a session titled “Open Source: AI for Everyone!” Hacktoberfest is where a lot of people make their very first open-source contribution, so the room was a mix of students taking their first steps and developers looking to go deeper — exactly the audience this talk was written for.
The goal was simple: make building with OpenAI feel approachable, not intimidating. Rather than treating AI tooling as something reserved for specialists, the session focused on how anyone in the room could start using these tools in their own projects that same week.
