JacHacks is a virtual hackathon (May 15 - May19) where participants build real agentic AI applications using Jac, an AI-native programming language developed at the University of Michigan. Backed by NVIDIA and the NSF, this is a space for builders who want to go beyond the surface and create agents that actually do things.
Whether you're new to agentic AI or already deep in it, there's a track for you.
