about this event
Most agents today can talk. Fewer can produce real output, operate real software, and carry context from one session to the next. This hackathon is about building agents that do all three. Build a working prototype in one of three tracks: generative video, browser automation, or persistent memory. The day opens with a hands-on technical session on AdaL, the agent harness every team will build on. Projects are evaluated by a panel of judges, listed below.

Tracks: 🎬 AI Video Creation — From Idea to Final Cut. Build an agent that takes a brief and produces a finished video. It should handle the script, scene generation, voiceover and edit as one end-to-end pipeline. Example: Build a video creation agent that takes a product idea, writes a script, generates scenes, adds voiceovers, and produces a ready-to-share video. 🌐 Browser Automation — Let Agents Do the Browsing. Build an agent that operates the web on a user's behalf: navigating multi-step flows, extracting structured data, and completing forms reliably across sites. Go-to-market workflows like account research, lead enrichment and CRM updates are fair game. Example: Build an agent that discovers relevant events, compares details across websites, fills out registration forms, and helps complete sign-ups. 🧠 Agent Memory — Give Your Agents the Ability to Remember. Build a memory layer that persists across sessions and across models, keeping decisions, preferences and project history as the agent switches between providers. Example: Build a shared memory system that lets you switch between AI models while preserving project history, preferences, decisions, and previous work.
