Agent Forge Hackathon

The era of simple chatbots is over. Real AI applications need to scrape live data, automate workflows, manage infrastructure, and deploy at scale -- all working together in production. If you're ready to build real AI systems, this hackathon is for you.

AI Builders is partnering with SMU AI for Agent Forge Hackathon around the Super AI conference time in Singapore-- a hands-on, full-day hackathon where you'll prototype production-grade AI applications using tools from our sponsors.

What You'll Do

  • Build a working AI project in one day using sponsored tools and APIs

  • Attend a hands-on workshop to get up to speed before hacking begins

  • Form teams (up to 6) or go solo -- your call

  • Demo your project live and compete for sponsor credit prizes

  • Connect with builders, engineers, and founders in the Singapore AI community

Your AI Stack

Daytona: an open-source, secure infrastructure platform providing fast, isolated, and stateful composable computers (sandboxes) for AI agents to safely run, test, and develop code. Each hackathon participant will get 100 USD worth of Daytona credits to build.

Bright Data: Give your assistant the ability to browse the web. Build custom web-scraping "skills" into your agents to fetch real-time data, monitor trends, or aggregate research automatically using reliable, large-scale infrastructure.

Nosana: Supercharge your compute with Nosana's decentralized GPUs to run specialized AI models. Use them to run tasks, process heavy data workloads, or host custom local models for your assistant affordably.

Your project must integrate the sponsored products. This is your chance to go hands-on with tools used by production AI teams.

Prizes

Winning teams share sponsor credits as prizes. All participants receive credits from sponsors to build with during the hackathon.

​​Judging Criteria

  • Completeness: Whether the team finished at least a minimum viable product.

  • Innovation: Is the product idea innovative?

  • Real-Life Problem Solving: Is the project solving a real-life problem, or is there a real pain in the market?

  • Sponsored Product Usage: Did the team use sponsored products?

Who Should Join

Developers, AI engineers, founders, and students who want to go beyond tutorials and build something real. Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or shipping agents in production, there's a place for you here.

Team formation happens after the workshop. Work solo or find teammates on the day.
