Ship from Zero Hackathon

about this event

There are thousands of things people have simply learned to put up with. From the small frustrations that quietly eat away at our days to problems that affect entire industries and communities, there's no shortage of things that could work differently.

We're looking for projects that go beyond wrapping an existing model in a new interface. Ship something from zero that makes a real difference.

Build the capability that doesn't exist yet — A new capability, architecture, or approach that makes an agent capable of something it couldn't do before. Not a repackaging of existing tools.

Build the product that changes how something gets done — Take a real problem people deal with and solve it so differently that today's default feels outdated. Not a 20% improvement.

We're backing you with some of the best tools — AWS: the models and cloud infrastructure to help you actually ship. Airbyte: The Context Layer for AI Agents. Liquid AI: Efficient general-purpose AI at every scale. Nimble: web data your agents can trust.
