The LegalTechTalk Vibeathon was where that shift came to life.
The barrier to building in LegalTech had always been technical skill. At LegalTechTalk 2026, that barrier felt like it had gone.
We saw a glimpse of a world where lawyers became product designers, operators became builders and ideas moved faster than ever before.
So, what did it look like in action?
Over two days, attendees competed to use AI tools to generate, refine, and iterate on real LegalTech concepts – turning prompts into working prototypes using replit, fast.
Working across three themes shaping the legal industry today, participants built, submitted, and competed to create the most impactful solution.
Judges and mentors were on-hand throughout to guide, challenge, and champion the ideas that stand out.
No dev team required. No technical background expected. Just thinking, perspective, and ability to shape something new.
1. Come with an idea
Arrive with a concept, problem, or prompt you want to explore.
2. Build with AI
Use AI tools to create and iterate – with live demos, guidance, and support throughout.
3. Submit & showcase
Upload your prototype and see how it stacks up.
Participants built prototypes within one of three tracks:
Winning teams were recognised live on stage at LegalTechTalk – with an official LTT trophy to prove it.
Winners also received:
And it wasn’t just the winners. All Vibeathon participants received one month of premium Replit access to continue building beyond the competition.

Start on Day 1 of LegalTechTalk 2026, 17 June with a 20-minute briefing on the Marquee Stage, then head straight to the dedicated Vibeathon zone on the exhibition floor.
There, you can join live demos, drop into guided sessions, and build using Replit at your own pace across the competition.
To be considered by the judges, you must submit your prototype by 12pm on Friday 18 June.
Upload your project to vibecode.law before the deadline, and share periodic progress updates throughout the day.
Throughout the vibeathon, our judges – made up of senior leaders from top law firms, tech, and consulting – will be checking in with teams and reviewing progress.
Your solution will be evaluated on:
Innovation – Are you rethinking what’s possible?
Feasibility – Can it be realistically implemented?
Impact – Will it drive real change in the legal industry?
Anyone. If you’ve got an idea (and a ticket to LegalTechTalk 2026) you’re in!
Just an idea, your laptop and a willingness to experiment. We’ll provide access to tools, demos, and guidance throughout.
