Multi Agent Systems Hackathon - SF
⭐ StarPlan Multi-Agent System Hackathon
Build Autonomous Teams. Solve Real Problems. Get Matched With AI Startups.
Welcome to the StarPlan Multi-Agent System Hackathon — a high-energy event where innovators build intelligent ecosystems of collaborating AI agents and get discovered by top AI startups.
This hackathon isn’t just about creating one smart agent — it’s about architecting multi-agent systems (MAS) that communicate, coordinate, and act autonomously across complex workflows. At the same time, StarPlan will help accelerate your career by connecting you with founders looking for AI talent.
🚀 What You’ll Build
Participants will design and implement multi-agent systems where multiple AI agents:
Communicate and reason together
Delegate tasks and share context
Complete end-to-end workflows
Adapt with human feedback and user behaviours
Demonstrate real autonomy and system-level intelligence
From recruitment automation to autonomous copilots, your system should show how agents collaborate toward a shared goal.
🎯 What We’re Looking For
Clear, modular MAS architecture
Effective communication protocols between agents
End-to-end workflow completion
Autonomy with safe controls
Strong demo that shows collaboration in action
