MLOps World | GenAI Agentic Hackathon
about this event
For the past few years, "building an app" meant months of work, a full team, and a lot of luck. That's changed. Today, one person with the right AI tools can go from idea to working product in days. Cursor writes the code. Claude handles the logic. Bolt scaffolds the UI. The bottleneck isn't skill anymore — it's imagination and execution speed.
The MLOps World | GenAI Agentic Hackathon is built around that reality. Five days. Real tools. Ship something that works. No prescribed problem. No required stack. We want to see what you build when the only constraint is: make it real by Friday.
What does "agentic" mean? It means your AI isn't just autocompleting lines — it's reasoning, taking actions, and building alongside you. Think less "chatbot," more "co-founder that never sleeps." Cursor, Claude Code, Bolt, Lovable, v0, Replit — use whatever gets you to shipped fastest.
Who should come? Developers and ML engineers who want to actually ship something. Product people who have an idea and want to build it. First-timers who've been watching from the sidelines and are ready to jump in. You don't need a team. Show up Monday and we'll find you one.
The week: 📅 Mon Oct 26 — Kickoff · The Center of Government & Civic Service, 9 AM. Welcome remarks, team formation, project lock. Lunch provided. 💻 Tue–Thu — Build · Wherever you work best. Async. Mentor support on Slack. 📬 Thu Oct 29 — Submit · 2 PM deadline. 🏆 Fri Oct 30 — Expo + Awards · The Center of Government & Civic Service, 9 AM–3 PM. Science-fair format. Judges rotate. Winners announced. Lunch + drinks.
How projects are judged: A panel of 5–7 judges from the MLOps World community scores every project on five criteria: Impact & usefulness — does it solve a real problem for a real person? Technical execution — did you actually build it, or just mock it up? Demo quality — can you show it working clearly and confidently? Novelty & creativity — is there a fresh angle or clever approach? Shipping mindset — does it feel like something that could go further?
Prizes: 🥇 Winner — tickets to MLOps World | Gen AI Summit 2026 (Nov 17–18, Etter-Harbin Alumni Center). 🗳️ People's Choice — voted live by attendees. Questions? info@mlopsworld.com
