What to build
Build a practical AI agent on Keiki that solves a real problem. Your demo should make the task clear, show the agent working and explain its human-approval steps and failure handling. Final competition rules, submission requirements and judging criteria will be shared before the event.
Who should apply
Builders, developers, designers and people with a concrete business problem they want to solve. Tell us what you plan on building and what experience you bring so we can put together a focused, collaborative room.
Registration & preparation
Registration is free and requires host approval. A request to join is an application, not a confirmed place. Look for your approval confirmation before attending.
Bring your laptop and charger, a project idea and any materials you need to build.
Food preferences and allergies can be shared optionally in the registration form for catering planning. Catering arrangements are still to be confirmed; dietary accommodations cannot be guaranteed.
Photography consent is a separate, optional choice. Saying no or leaving it blank does not affect your application or attendance.
If you have questions about building access or accessibility, contact the host before attending. Final arrival and access details will be shared before the event.
