Epoch 0

An AI builder community in Japan

Epoch 0 is a community platform for AI builders — developers and creators — based in Japan. Events are the engine, projects accumulate as assets, and exposure turns into data: offline meetups, project showcases and member relationships all live on the same infrastructure.

What the app does

Frequently asked questions

What is Epoch 0?

A community for AI builders based in Japan. Offline events (hackathons, meetups, expos) are the engine; the work people ship accumulates as a searchable asset.

Who can join?

Developers, founders, researchers, designers and students building AI products in Japan. Free, no restriction on nationality or language — the site runs in Chinese, Japanese and English in parallel.

How do I attend an event?

Register on the event page. Offline events are mostly in Tokyo; you check in on the day with your member code.

How do I publish a project?

Publish from the web, or connect the MCP endpoint to your own Claude / Cursor / ChatGPT and publish from there. Both paths create a draft — whether it goes public is always your call.

Can I cite content from the site?

The Japan AI news selection is our own curation and writing; please cite it with a link. Copyright of the reproduced items in the daily digest stays with the original authors.
