SF TECH WEEK



AI Hackathon in SF - builders, founders and YC judges.

⏰ Doors open at 10:00 AM sharp.
🚪 Entry closes at 11:00 AM or once we’re full — come early!

🚀 Join us on September 27 (Sat), 2025 in downtown SF for a one-day AI Hackathon focused on bold ideas, teamwork, and innovation.
Build cutting-edge AI solutions around The Rise of the Agent Manager — alongside fellow engineers, product thinkers, and YC founders.

The future of AI is not just about single models — it’s about orchestrating intelligent agents that can collaborate, delegate tasks, and manage complex workflows.

This hackathon challenges you to design the next generation of agent managers: systems that coordinate multiple AI agents (copilots, data handlers, creative bots, or decision-makers) to solve big, messy, and real-world problems.

Motto: Think broader. Act faster. Show your difference.

✅ Challenge

Build an Agent Manager that brings structure to the chaos of AI.

Your prototype could:

  • Orchestrate specialized AI agents (e.g., one for research, one for writing, one for outreach)

  • Manage multi-step tasks like running a startup, closing a sales funnel, or planning a medical trial

  • Enable human + AI collaboration, where people supervise agent teams

  • Or explore new architectures for autonomous, goal-driven agent networks

  • others
