Daytona & Give(a)Go HackSprint - Dublin, March 2026
🚀 A one day build sprint at the frontier of AI agents & sandboxes
Every time an AI agent writes code, it needs somewhere to run it.
A real computer. Isolated. Fast. Disposable.
Until recently, spinning one up took minutes. Daytona does it in under 90 milliseconds.
That changes what is possible.
On March 28th, we are bringing together Dublin’s most ambitious builders to explore what happens when you give AI agents fast, isolated compute and let them loose on real problems.
🧠 What You Will Build
Design AI agents that demonstrate
Sharp reasoning
Independent decision making
Safe execution in isolated sandboxed environments
Real world impact
A sandbox is an isolated compute environment. A full computer spun up on demand where an agent can run code, browse the web, access files, execute workflows and disappear instantly.
This is the infrastructure underneath tools like Claude Code, Codex and Browser Use. It is how serious agent systems run safely in production.
If it involves agents doing real work in the world, sandboxes are how you make it reliable and fast.
✨ Every builder receives Daytona credits.
🏆 Top three teams earn thousands of dollars in compute.
Project Ideas:
Self-Evolving Agent
Spawn hundreds of agent variants in parallel, mutate prompts/tooling/memory, benchmark performance, and keep only the strongest. Darwinian selection for reasoning systems.Parallel coding agents with full context on your codebase and all dependencies pre-loaded, running experiments simultaneously with different parameters and returning results fast.
Research pipelines that spin up isolated environments per experiment, run them in parallel, and aggregate outputs without any one run contaminating another.
Evolutionary Fine-Tuning Lab
Run hundreds of fine-tuning jobs with varied hyperparameters and datasets in isolated sandboxes.
Automatically rank, kill, and respawn better-performing models.

About Daytona
Daytona: Daytona builds the compute infrastructure that AI agents actually need: sandboxes that launch in under 90ms, fork into parallel branches, and snapshot mid-execution.
Their customers include LangChain, Browser Use and more. This is the tech underneath Claude Code, Codex and every serious agentic tool running the cloud today.
Venue Partner
Baseline: An independent community and fund for early-stage founders in Ireland. They write €100K first checks to technical founders, backed entirely by private investors. Looking for your first check? these are the people to be in a room with.
Join the Community
Give(a)Go is a Dublin-based builder community running hands-on technical events for ambitious people who make things. 30+ events. 1,000+ attendees. Partners include PostHog, LangChain, ElevenLabs, HubSpot and Windsurf. One rule: learning by building.
