No Python. No Excuses. Build AI Agents with Mastra
HiDevs × Mastra Hackathon
No PPT. Just Agents.
The first AI agent hackathon built exclusively for TypeScript developers.
Python was never the gate. It was just the key everyone assumed you needed.
[Note for Students : Have exams during this period? No worries. Round 1 is fully online from 20 June to 1 July, so you can participate anytime, and shortlisted teams will compete in the Grand Finale on 12 July. 🚀]
For years, the AI agent ecosystem has been dominated by Python-first frameworks. If you wanted to build production-grade agents, you were expected to learn Python before writing your first workflow. Meanwhile, millions of TypeScript developers watched the agent revolution from the sidelines.
That changes now.
HiDevs × Mastra is a flagship AI agent-building hackathon designed for developers who want to build real, production-ready AI systems using TypeScript from end to end.
Over multiple rounds, participants will design, architect, and ship autonomous agent systems that solve real-world problems across hiring, finance, legal intelligence, education, incident response, and open innovation.
This is not a hackathon for slide decks, mockups, or AI wrappers.
Every submission must be a working agent.
Event Timeline
The hackathon unfolds across four key milestones, taking participants from architecture design to building and showcasing production-grade AI agents.
13 June – 19 June 2026 | Registrations Open
20 June 2026 | Round 1 Begins (Online)
Participants receive the problem statements and begin designing their solution architecture using HiDevs Architecture Copilot. The focus of Round 1 is creating a robust agent architecture built around Mastra, Qdrant, and Enkrypt AI.
2 July 2026 | Round 1 Results
The top 300 submissions advance to Round 2. Shortlisted participants will receive feedback on their architecture and begin building their solution based on the architecture submitted in Round 1.
4 July – 11 July 2026 | Build Sprint
Qualified teams will work remotely to transform their approved architecture into a fully functional AI agent using Mastra, Qdrant, and Enkrypt AI. During this phase, participants will build, test, refine, and prepare their solutions for the Grand Finale.
12 July 2026 | Grand Finale (Offline)
The top 300 builders will participate in a 12-hour offline hackathon at OJone, Bengaluru, from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
Participants will complete final development, receive mentorship, network with fellow builders, and present their working AI agents to judges from Mastra, Qdrant, and Enkrypt AI.
Projects will be evaluated on technical implementation, innovation, problem impact, agent capabilities, and effective integration of the mandatory technology stack.
Team Size
Participants can register and compete either individually or in teams of up to 2 members.
Allowed Team Size: 1–2 Members
Winners will be announced at the conclusion of the event.
Prizes, Swags & Recognition
Compete for a ₹50,000 Cash Prize Pool, exclusive sponsor swags, books, and community rewards.
🏆 ₹50,000 Cash Prize for the Top 5 teams in the Final Round

📚 Mastra Book for all participants qualifying for Round 2
📢 Top 10 Social Media Awards – ₹2,000 reward and recognition from HiDevs & Mastra
🚀 Referral Program – ₹3,000 reward pool for the Top 20 referrers
Total confirmed rewards: ₹50,000 Cash Prize + Qdrant Swags + Enkrypt AI Swags + Mastra Books + Community Recognition.
Mandatory Technology Stack
Every submission must integrate all three technologies as core components of the solution. These are not optional integrations or bonus points—they form the foundation of the entire hackathon experience.
Mastra — Agent Orchestration Layer
Mastra powers the intelligence and execution layer of your agent. It is responsible for orchestrating workflows, managing tool calls, routing memory, handling branching logic, enabling human-in-the-loop interactions, and coordinating multi-step agent behavior.
Qdrant — Memory & Retrieval Layer
Qdrant serves as the long-term memory system for your agent. It enables semantic search, vector storage, contextual retrieval, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and persistent memory across sessions.
Enkrypt AI — Safety & Evaluation Layer
Enkrypt AI ensures that every agent remains reliable, trustworthy, and production-ready. Participants must use Enkrypt AI to evaluate outputs for hallucinations, bias, toxicity, safety violations, and other potential risks before information reaches the end user.
Hard Requirement
All three technologies—Mastra, Qdrant, and Enkrypt AI—must be integrated into every submission.
Any project missing even one of the required technologies will be automatically disqualified before judging begins.
What You'll Build
Participants can choose to solve one of several high-impact, real-world challenges designed around autonomous AI agents and production-grade workflows.
AI Hiring Copilot
Personal Finance & Debt Advisory Agent
Legal Document Intelligence Agent
Student Doubt-Solving & Learning Agent
Incident Response & Post-Mortem Agent
Open Innovation Challenge — Build Your Own Agent
Across every challenge, participants will design autonomous workflows, retrieval systems, long-term memory architectures, safety evaluation pipelines, and intelligent agent experiences that resemble real production software rather than simple chatbot demos.
What Makes This Different
TypeScript-first AI agent development
Real production architectures instead of prompt demos
Long-term memory powered by Qdrant
Agent orchestration with Mastra
Safety and evaluation using Enkrypt AI
Industry-standard judging focused on engineering depth
Direct access to engineers and mentors from the ecosystem
Judging Criteria
Projects will be evaluated on:
Mastra Integration Depth (25%)
Qdrant Integration Quality (20%)
Enkrypt AI Coverage (20%)
Agent Output Quality (20%)
Problem Impact & Novelty (15%)
The Challenge
Build an AI-native system that can think, retrieve, remember, evaluate, and act.
Not a chatbot.
Not a demo.
An agent.
Because the future of software will be built by interconnected ecosystems of autonomous agents—and this is where those builders start.
