Real World AI Agents Hackathon
UPDATE: The hackathon has been postponed to June 2026. All confirmed participants will be contacted directly with updated details. We’re excited to share that we have secured a collaboration with Kementerian Ekonomi Kreatif Republik Indonesia (EKRAF). We will kick things off with an opening workshop in May 2026 at Jakarta Creative Hub, with media and press in attendance, leading into the main hackathon in June.
Indonesia doesn't need more AI demos. It needs AI that works.
Join the Real World AI Agents Hackathon, a 2-day in person builder event in Jakarta where developers, founders, and AI enthusiasts come together to build AI agents that solve real problems, transact in the real economy, and function on real infrastructure.
We are looking for practical, transactable, and sustainable agents. Your goal is to build a high-fidelity prototype that proves your agent can live in the real world.
🛠️ Key Focus Area: Finance & Investment
For this edition, we are diving deep into the backbone of the economy. We are looking for agents that redefine Finance and Investment. Whether your solution targets Fintech, Insurtech, Wealth Management, or decentralized finance, it must solve a high-stakes problem.
🏆 Hackathon Prizes
$15,000 USD (Cash Equivalent) total prize pool across our tracks. This is a mix of hard cash, AI/Tech credits, and essential builder resources to ensure your project keeps running long after this hackathon ends. And the support doesn't stop there!
🚀 From Project to Product: The Incubation Prize
We don't just hand over a check and say goodbye. Every finalist team stands a chance to enter the ForU AI Incubation Program. It’s a comprehensive launchpad valued at over $10,000 per team, including:
