👻 Night of the Living Agents

​When your AI apps come alive after midnight.

​LiquidMetal AI, Netlify, and WorkOS are teaming up for a one-night hackathon where your AI agents don’t just respond — they wake up. Build autonomous systems that think, learn, and act independently.

​Haunt your codebase. Summon your backend. Watch your agents take over.

​Tech Stack

​Participants get free access to:

​Netlify

​Bring your haunted dashboards and agent control centers to life.

• ​Deploy interactive frontends instantly.

• ​Use Edge Functions to trigger midnight workflows.

• ​Route model calls securely through the Netlify AI Gateway for usage tracking and latency control.

​WorkOS

​Not every ghost should have admin access.

• ​Manage sign-in, orgs, and roles for your possessed systems.

• ​Use Directory Sync, SAML, or Magic Links to decide who can summon (or exorcise) your agents.

• ​Add audit logs so you know which “phantom” did what.

​Raindrop MCP

​Where your AI agents crawl out of the codebase and start thinking for themselves.

• ​SmartMemory keeps them aware of past runs — like they never really shut down.

• ​SmartBuckets store everything they collect and remember, ready to be summoned when needed.

• ​SmartSQL lets them query your structured data in plain language, so they always know what to do next.

• ​Directly integrated with Netlify to give you the best DevEx experience

​Once deployed, they don’t wait for commands — they roam the network on their own.

​Together, these tools enable the development of fully autonomous, secure AI systems that can run themselves.

​Event Schedule

​6:00 PM – Kickoff & tech intros (LiquidMetal, Netlify, WorkOS)
