About Event

Global AI Hackathon presented by mel

Online · Saturday, October 31, 12:00 ET to Sunday, November 1, 2:00 PM ET

Build something real with Mel, the agentic terminal that turns plain English into working projects.

7 tracks (details revealed at kickoff)

Track briefs, rules and ideas stay secret until the clock starts, so everyone begins at the same moment.

Event schedule

Saturday, 8:00 AM ET: tracks revealed. Mel access, starter kit and hackathon credits arrive.
Sunday, 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM ET: live session. Show your build, get mentor feedback, ask submission questions, polish your demo.
Sunday, 2:00 PM ET: final submission deadline.

Build solo or in a team of up to 5. Bring an idea, ship a working demo, and show how Mel helped.
