OpenAI Build Week Community Hackathon - Hyderabad
We are so back!!
Welcome back to Hyderabad's Codex Community Hackathon x OpenAI Build Week
We are moving past the chat interface. This is about architecting the future of software by shifting the focus from writing code to orchestrating agents. Whether you are building a new autonomous tool or accelerating an existing project, this is where the shipping happens.
Build something new from scratch or push an existing project further using Codex. Run long runnings tasks with /goal, experiment with Skills, and use worktrees to operate at a higher level of speed and ambition.
Exploration Over Experience
This event is designed for builders, not just developers. If you have never used Codex (or any agentic coding tools), do not worry. We are all exploring this frontier together. You will build alongside Codex Ambassadors and a room full of peers who are just as curious about the future of software as you are.
Build Directions
If any of these ideas excite you, we want you in the room:
Agentic Coding: Build developer tools that maximize leverage from Codex as an AI coding agent.
UX for Agentic Applications: Design AI-native interfaces and workflows for agent-driven software.
Multimodal Intelligence: Create applications that reason across multiple modalities.
Domain Agents: Build vertical agents that operate within real-world constraints.
Building Evals: Develop tools to measure, debug, and improve agent performance.

Just a few quick reminders to help the day run smoothly:
1) Venue Entrance is bound to be registered with your phone number please make sure to provide gate pass shared over your mobile.
2) Approval is on an individual basis
If you're attending as a team, each member needs to be registered and approved separately.
If someone on your team didn’t receive this email, it means they’re not approved.
Because space is limited, we’ll only be able to admit approved participants.
3) Arrival timing
Registration opens at 8:45am, and we’ll begin at 9:30am sharp.
4) In-person event
This is an in-person-only event.
If your plans change or you can’t arrive by 10:00am, we’d really appreciate you cancelling your spot so someone on the waitlist can join.
We do keep track of no-shows to help us plan future community events fairly.
