​Build agents that act on behalf of real users

​Most agents are demos. They call APIs. They look impressive. But the moment they need to act as a specific user in a real system, with real permissions, they fall apart.

This hackathon is about that last mile. Build an AI agent that doesn't just execute tasks - it does it as the right person, with the right access, in the right context.

​Date: Saturday, May 23
Time: 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM
Location: Entrepreneurs First, Folsom Street, San Francisco

​The problem

​Connecting an agent to a CRM (or any app) is easy. Updating a record as a specific user, respecting their tenant, their permissions, their identity is where most demos break.

​Today, you're solving the hard part. You'll build agents that act on behalf of real users using Scalekit's SDK: not as root, not as a service account, but as the person the action belongs to.

​Two problem tracks will be updated soon

​​Judging criteria

​​Projects are scored equally across four dimensions:

​​🔭 Innovation (25%) — Is the approach novel? Does it solve the problem in a way we haven't seen before?

​​⚙️ Technical Complexity (25%) — How well-built is the solution? Does it genuinely leverage MeetStream and Scalekit APIs?

​​🌍 Impact (25%) — Does this solve a real problem? Could it scale beyond the demo?

​​🎯 Presentation & Usability (25%) — Is the demo clear and compelling? Would someone actually want to use this?

​Who should come

​​This is for you if you're a founder, hacker, AI engineer, or builder who wants to work on the leading edge of agentic AI. No experience with meeting APIs required — we'll have API docs, live walkthroughs, and mentors on hand all day.

​​Whether you come solo or with a team, you'll leave with working code, new connections, and a sharper intuition for building agents that actually do things.

​​About the organizer

​Scalekit is the connectivity layer between AI agents and enterprise apps - SaaS apps, APIs, MCP servers. Agent builders use our SDK to let agents act on behalf of users with per-user token lifecycle, scoped permissions, and tool-calling that holds up in production.

Thanks to our venue partner, Entrepreneurs First (EF) turns exceptional individuals into funded founders. Some might have an early idea, others may need a cofounder. What matters is their potential. We back these founders first, then give them a bridge to Silicon Valley. To date, their companies are worth > $16B.
