Agents, Everywhere: Beyond The Chatbot — Global Hackathon (AI Tinkerers Portland)
RSVP IS NOT ON LUMA. Apply on the AI Tinkerers Portland event page: https://portland.aitinkerers.org/p/agents-everywhere-beyond-the-chatbot-global-hackathon
Attendance is by application only and space is limited. Registering here does not reserve you a seat.
AI Tinkerers Portland is hosting the Portland site of a global hackathon with OpenAI. On Saturday, September 12, AI Tinkerers cities around the world join one shared build day.
The challenge: build a working agent for a place people already work, talk, and live, then make it meaningfully more useful because of that context. Slack, Teams, email, browsers, mobile, voice, wearables, robotics. These are examples, not tracks. Every team enters the same global submission pool.
Every team submits a title, a written description, a public GitHub repo, a two minute video, and a social post. Every eligible project from every participating city goes into one global review, with prizes announced before the event.
