Epiminds Hackathon 6th March 2026 · Stockholm · Sponsored by Google
The Challenge Build a flat, memory-perfect multi-agent system where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Core Principles
Every agent has full access to what the group knows, at all timesTrue collaboration — agents build on each other's work without a coordinator telling them what to doEmergent problem-solving — the system handles complexity no single agent could manage aloneThink swarm intelligence, not org charts
Rules
You decide the domainYou decide the stackNo single coordinator agent — if one goes down, the swarm still functionsShared state is mandatory — every agent has real-time access to full collective knowledgeYour demo must show at least one moment of genuine emergence
Judging Criteria
Emergence quality — does the output exceed the sum of its parts?Flatness — truly non-hierarchical, no hidden coordinatorsResilience — what happens when an agent fails?Collaboration depth — do agents meaningfully build on each other?Demo impact
Format
