Hackathon @ AWS Loft — Build Production-Ready AI Agents

📅 February 9, 2026 | 🏢 AWS Loft


Contextual AI just dropped Agent Composer, a visual workflow builder that reduces complex technical tasks from hours to minutes. It’s the production-ready Context Layer, the missing piece for building agents that actually work in the real world.

For this event, we’re unlocking full Agent Composer enterprise features so you can try everything: 

- Prompt Builder (Beta) - describe your agent in plain English, get a working workflow

 - Visual workflow builder - design fully custom workflows graphically (GUI) 

- YAML customization - full config control for power users (including Webhooks, MCP integrations)


What We’ll Do

  • Quick intro to Agent Composer 

  • Dive deep into how Elasticsearch enables intelligent document retrieval

  • Live walkthrough: from prompt → agent → running system

  • Hands-on hacking: build your own agent using your own data

  • Demo time! Show off what you built

🏆 Top 3 demos win prizes!


Who Should Come

  • Developers building with LLMs, agents, or RAG

  • Engineers tired of fragile AI demos

  • Anyone who wants to build agents or workflows that they can deploy into production
