​We’re bringing together engineers, founders, builders, and investors for an evening of agentic commerce, live demos, and building with the Ophelia API.

​Ophelia gives consumer software the infrastructure to search, book, buy, and transact end-to-end directly inside the products, agents, and devices people already use.

• ​Let a wearable turn “find me a workout” into a booked class

• ​Create a new interface for commerce that doesn’t look like a checkout page

• ​Or build something we haven’t imagined yet

​THE HACK CHALLENGE

​Use the Ophelia API to build a product, feature, agent, or experience that turns intent into a real transaction.

​We’re especially interested in what happens when commerce moves inside the products, agents, devices, and interfaces people already use.

​Available commerce categories include:

​🍽️ Restaurants & reservations
✈️ Flights & travel
🏨 Hotels
🎟️ Events & tickets
🏋️ Fitness & classes
…and thousands of other services with Ophelia V3

​PLEASE COME WITH PRODUCT OR DEMO ALREADY BUILT.

​We strongly encourage you to build beyond a chatbot or general-purpose AI assistant.

​THE NIGHT

​6:00 PM: Check-in + drinks

​Meet other NYC builders, grab a drink, get set up, and meet the Ophelia team.

​6:30 PM: Ophelia API kickoff

​We’ll give you a quick walkthrough of the API, what you can build, and how to get started.

​6:45 PM: DEMOS

​Teams will have a short window to demo what they built.

​Show us the actual customer experience not just a pitch.

​8:00 PM: JUDGING + WINNER

​Both the audience and our team will select one winning builder or team based on the quality of the build, creativity of the experience, and how compellingly it demonstrates the future of agentic commerce.

​8:30 PM: WINNER + AFTERPARTY

​Announce the winner, celebrate, and keep the conversations going.

​ABOUT OPHELIA

​Ophelia enables consumer software to build commerce directly into their products.

​Our API infrastructure powers end-to-end booking and buying for AI agents, iOS platforms, and devices from intent to purchase.

​Today, every merchant has its own website, booking flow, authentication, payment system, and operational requirements.

​Ophelia connects these fragmented systems through one integration, allowing software to parse availability, initiate checkout, process payments, and complete transactions directly within the products people already use.

​3.8M+ users are already routed through Ophelia-powered products.

​Built for platforms. Made for people.
