Agents you Love 2: Hackathon
Build AI agents people actually want to use.
Join us in San Francisco on 28th July for an in-person builder hackathon with HydraDB, RocketRide, Thine, Guild.AI and Snyk.
Join our discord to communicate: Join Discord Server
This is a hackathon for building personal, useful, and lovable AI agents, agents that understand context, remember what matters, use tools, automate workflows, and help people do real things.
Not another wrapper demo.
Not another chatbot with a landing page.
Build something people would actually come back to.
Whether you are building a personal AI assistant, workflow automation agent, memory-powered copilot, agentic app, or something weird and beautiful, this is your playground.
What you’ll build
Build AI agents and apps that can:
understand personal context
use memory across sessions
automate real workflows
connect to tools and APIs
help users make decisions
feel useful, personal, and delightful
The theme is simple:
Build agents people love.
This isn’t just hacking. It’s:
meeting builders in person in San Francisco
building fast with real AI infrastructure
testing what memory and context unlock for agents
creating useful, weird, beautiful agentic apps
shipping live demos in front of other builders
turning an idea into something people can actually use

About our partners:
HydraDB
HydraDB is a high-performance database optimized to handle the complex, memory-intensive data structures of modern AI agents. We're thrilled to have their architecture powering our builders' data layers!
PipeShift
PipeShift delivers lightning-fast, scalable LLM inference and deployment pipelines, making it effortless to integrate powerful AI into any application. An incredible asset for teams racing against the clock!
Guild.ai offers robust experiment tracking and automation for machine learning, helping developers evaluate and optimize their models with precision. Proud to have their toolkit elevating our hackers' workflows!
RocketRide
RocketRide is an open-source, developer-native AI meta-harness. Build, debug, and deploy production AI workflows within your IDE, and RocketRide Cloud is a managed engine, the same runtime is operated for you. It runs your AI workflows at a fraction of the cost on our proprietary model server, scales without the infra hassle, and lets your whole team build on shared pipelines together.
🎁 Free credits: RocketRide is giving away free credits for RocketRide Cloud, 100% off your first purchase with a promo code. Join the Discord to communicate and grab your code.

🚀 Submit your project: Head to the Discord and type /submit in any channel to submit your build. Need help? Ask our bot in #support questions about your project or the tools, just ask.
Linkup.so equips developers with real-time web search and context APIs, seamlessly connecting AI agents to the data they need to thrive. The perfect foundational tool for building dynamic, memory-rich agents!
Insforge
Insforge provides streamlined developer infrastructure and tooling, eliminating setup friction so teams can focus entirely on shipping code. Grateful to have them accelerating builds for the Memory Agents You Love hackathon!
Let’s build something awesome together. 💻✨
Snyk
Snyk is a developer-first cybersecurity platform that helps teams build fast without compromising on security. As developers rely heavily on AI to write code at unprecedented speeds, Snyk continuously scans and secures application code, open-source dependencies, containers, and cloud environments right within the developer’s workflow. For an AI hackathon, it matters because shipping code quickly with AI generators or autonomous agents also means shipping security risks at machine speed. Snyk acts as an intelligent security layer, catching vulnerabilities and automatically applying verified fixes in real time—allowing builders to ship ambitious AI projects safely and with complete confidence.
At this event you will learn:
1) Sign-up for free without a credit card, how to import your code, and configure your AI coding tool
2) Free AI Security Engineer Foundations Certificate
🚀 Hackathon tip: don't lose demo time to infrastructure
Judging goes faster when you can hand over a live link instead of screen-sharing localhost. RocketRide Cloud lets you deploy your pipeline straight from VS Code to a shareable, always-on endpoint, no last-minute rewrites before demo time.
It's free today with the promo code:
1. Log in at cloud.rocketride.ai (creates an account if you're new)
2. Enter the promo code
3. Done, start deploying
✨ Additional tip: If you use Rocketride cloud in your project, you'll earn bonus points, grab the opportunity to score 2x points! 🚀
Need help? We're around all day, on-site and in Discord (Join Discord Server).
Happy Hacking!! 🚀
