agenthon 001 (agent hackaton)
agi is just an agent swarm away. prove it.
100 solo builders. 6 hours. build an agent that does something no single model can.
not a wrapper. not a chatbot. an agent that reads, decides, acts.
challenge
build an agent (or multi-agent system) that completes a painful task end-to-end. no slides, just working demos.
examples:
an agent swarm that triages, reproduces, and patches github issues autonomously
a research agent that reads 50 papers and produces a better synthesis than you could
a multi-agent pipeline that spins up, deploys, and monitors a full ap from a prompt
something no one else thought of doing (the more ambitious the better)
what you get
6 hours of hard core build time
tokens, food, drinks
100 ambitious builders in sf
german beer after 7pm
how it works
build - 6 hours, solo, heads down
demo - top 10 agents demo live on stage. judges are top founders and engineers from the valley.
win - top 3 take home prizes (announced day-of)
hang - drinks and conversations after
who it's for
you think agents are undersold, not overhyped. you've built with function calling, tool use, or multi-agent orchestration — or you're ready to start.
you want to ship something real in a room full of people who can actually build.
100 spots. approval required.
