Agenthon 001 (agent hackathon)

agi is just an agent swarm away. prove it.

100 solo builders. 6 hours. build an agent that does something no single model can.

not a wrapper. not a chatbot. an agent that reads, decides, acts.

challenge

build an agent (or multi-agent system) that completes a painful task end-to-end. no slides, just working demos.

examples:

• an agent swarm that triages, reproduces, and patches github issues autonomously
• a research agent that reads 50 papers and produces a better synthesis than you could
• a multi-agent pipeline that spins up, deploys, and monitors a full ap from a prompt
• something no one else thought of doing (the more ambitious the better)

what you get

6 hours of hard core build time

tokens, food, drinks

who it's for

you think agents are undersold, not overhyped. you've built with function calling, tool use, or multi-agent orchestration — or you're ready to start.

you want to ship something real in a room full of people who can actually build.

100 spots. approval required.
