Khan, Senior Developer Advocate at the Stellar Development Foundation, walks through a comprehensive AI resources guide created for the Hack Plus Alep Rej hackathon happening in Mexico City. The guide covers free AI setup options including local open source models, VPS solutions, and free cloud APIs; developer setup with API keys and testnet contract addresses for composable protocols like Etherfuse, DeFindex, Blend, and SoraSwap; critical gotchas discovered during SDF build runs; starter prompts and best practices for using AI in development; and recommended tools including Stella, Stellar Dev Skill, and Open Zeppelin Skills. The presentation emphasizes equal access to AI for all hackers and demonstrates how proper prompt engineering and parallel agents can reduce build time significantly.
