Why now
AI agents are blowing up old workflows. What took weeks now happens in minutes. Entire industries are up for grabs. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to build—this is your edge.
What this is
A five-day global hackathon to design, build, and ship agentic AI: systems that can navigate complex environments, make decisions, and execute tasks with minimal human intervention. Alongside the online comp, local Builder Nights run worldwide—Amsterdam included.
Amsterdam Builder Night (4 hours)
A focused evening to kick off with the community: watch the global stream together, form teams, start building, get feedback, and meet other agents-obsessed builders.
Agenda (Amsterdam time, CEST):
Tuesday Sep 16, 18:00 — Global Opening Ceremony (watch party). You can find teammates, ideas and inspiration here.
Sunday Sep 21st - Networking and closing
Can’t make the Night? You can still join the global hackathon and tag Amsterdam as your hub.
Specifics will be sent to your email asap!

Tracks & what counts as an “agent”
Any project where an AI system perceives → decides → acts, ideally in a loop. Examples: autonomous research assistants, ops automations, data pipelines with tool use, customer support agents, AI ops for startups, or domain-specific copilots that actually execute.
Team & rules (lightweight)
Solo or teams up to 5
Any stack / tools allowed
You own your IP
Submit a short demo video + repo link by the deadline
Who should come
Engineers, product folks, designers, ops hackers, researchers, and anyone who wants to build with AI and make it useful.
What to bring
Laptop, charger, and your problem to attack. We’ll handle Wi-Fi & power; good vibes mandatory.
