Agent Forge AI Hackathon
The era of simple chatbots is over. Real AI applications need to access live data, write their own code, autonomously manage their own state, and run reliably in the cloud.
The Agent Forge AI Hackathon gives you the ultimate stack to ship production-ready AI agents in one day. Assemble a team of one to six people — or go solo — and build, test, and deploy a working Agent Forge solution together. We are moving beyond local prototypes. If it doesn't deploy and manage real data, it doesn't count.
Team Format
Form a team of 1–6 people. Teams can blend different skill sets — developers, designers, business minds — to tackle bigger, more ambitious projects. Here are some directions your team could take:
A custom UI to manage multiple Agent Forge instances — build a unified dashboard for orchestrating and monitoring several agents at once.
Custom tools or skills for a single Agent Forge agent — extend what one agent can do by shipping new capabilities it can call on.
A collaborative, cross-role project powered by Agent Forge — combine business development, design, and engineering: one teammate builds a pitch deck, another designs the UI, and a third wires it all together through Agent Forge.
You're free to come up with your own idea. The only requirement: your project must be built on Agent Forge and deployed live by demo time.
The Challenge
Build an autonomous Agent Forge assistant or data-driven application that solves a real-world problem.
Unlike standard hackathons where you build UI shells, this event focuses on functionality, live data, and true autonomy. Your Agent Forge agent should be able to gather intelligence (Scraping), autonomously process information, build with professional-grade tooling (Coding), and live on the web (Deployment).
The Stack (Your Arsenal)
You will have access to premium credits and tools from our innovation partners to build your Agent Forge solution:
Z.ai: Creators of the frontier GLM model family. GLM‑5.1 is its latest frontier large language model, built as a SOTA open‑source model for long‑horizon tasks with Opus‑level reasoning depth. Build websites, create slides, analyze data, and get instant answers.
AgentField: The open-source AI backend. Define an agent, add one decorator, and you have a production-ready microservice with async execution, shared memory, and live observability - fully deployed. Multi-agent coordination is one line of code. No extra infrastructure, no glue code. Your agents reason. Your infrastructure governs
Bright Data : Award winning proxy networks and powerful web scrapers. Enterprise web scraping and real-time data collection at scale with CAPTCHA solvers and MCP for flexible usage across all use cases
Actionbook: Browser automation engine for AI agents that navigate and interact with websites with speed and accuracy for your next generation of browser agents.
Qoder: Your AI-native coding platform for writing production-grade code. Use Qoder to accelerate development, manage your codebase, and ship faster during the hackathon.
The Workshops
We will host hands-on sessions to get you up to speed with the tech stack.
Prizes
All winning teams will earn a share of exclusive hackathon prizes, including sponsored credits and tools from our partners to keep building and scaling their projects.

Who Should Come?
You want to build AI agents that access the real internet, not just static datasets. You want to deploy something live, not just run it on localhost. You want to connect with the Silicon Valley AI community and the AI Builders network.
Whether you're a developer, a designer, or a business builder — if you want to ship a real AI project in a day with a team, this is your event.
Organized By
AI Builders: A premier community of AI builders, developers, and innovators in Singapore, Tokyo, and San Francisco Bay Area. Prototype real products with fellow builders, ship features weekly, and trade production-tested playbooks.
Beta Fund: Beta Fund is an early-stage venture fund based in Palo Alto, backing the builders shaping the AI era. We partner with exceptional technical founders at the inception stage. Our focus spans agentic AI, AI-native systems, and AI-powered vertical SaaS—the foundational layers of the next software epoch.
