🤖 ANYTHING APPLIED AGENTIC HACKATHON — SAN FRANCISCO

One day. Build an agent that does real work.
A one-day, in-person hackathon for people building agentic software. The only rule: it has to do something. If it runs and you can show it on stage, it counts.
The best demos won't just run. They'll make something real happen between two people, live, in the room.
🎯 SPECIAL THEME: AI-NATIVE PROFESSIONAL SOCIAL
Pick a challenge, or use one as a starting point:
1. The Serendipity Engine: Can AI engineer meaningful coincidences?
2. The Knowledge That Finds You: What if the right expertise could find you?
3. The Invisible Team: What if the perfect team could assemble itself?
4. Beyond the Resume: What if AI understood what you can actually do?
5. Your Agent, My Agent: What happens when AI agents start networking on our behalf?
Wildcard. Surprise us: build something strange, ambitious, useful, or completely unexpected.
🛠 NOT BUILDING FOR THE THEME? ALSO WELCOME.
Automate a job you hate. Wire an agent into a system that wasn't built for one. Ship the tool you've been putting off for months.
Agents that operate real software, APIs, or infrastructure
Automation for a task someone actually does every week
Multi-agent systems, orchestration, evals, dev tooling
Whatever you've been meaning to build anyway
🎲 MYSTERY MATCH
At check-in, optionally share what you're building, what you're good at, and what you're looking for. Our AI matchmaking experiment will suggest unexpected connections. Introductions happen only with mutual consent.
