about this event
Join NYC's top AI engineers, founders, and builders for a full day of building production-ready AI agents powered by live web data. Build on the You.com developer platform alongside One, CrewAI, and Daytona, and collaborate directly with the engineers behind the APIs to ship something real in a single day.
Why Attend? Build alongside New York's top AI builders. Work on a real problem rather than a toy demo, with the whole room attacking the same hard question. Get hands-on help from the engineers behind the APIs powering the agentic era. Sandboxes, orchestration, and managed auth from One, CrewAI, and Daytona, so you spend the day on the agent and not on plumbing. Ship a working prototype in one day and demo your project to AI leaders and judges. Expand your network with some of the industry's best builders.
