Agent Forge AI Hackathon

The era of simple chatbots is over. Real AI applications need to access live data, write their own code, autonomously manage their own state, and run reliably in the cloud. The Agent Forge AI Hackathon gives you the ultimate stack to ship production-ready AI agents in one day. Assemble a team of one to six people — or go solo — and build, test, and deploy a working AI Agent solution together. We are moving beyond local prototypes. If it doesn't deploy and manage real data, it doesn't count. The Challenge Build an AI agent or a swarm of agents that solves a real-world problem. Your Agent Forge agent should be able to gather intelligence, autonomously process information, build with professional-grade tooling and live on the web. You're free to come up with your own idea. The only requirement: your project must be built on the partner stacks below and deployed live by demo time. The Stack (Your Arsenal) You will have access to premium credits and tools from our innovation partners to build your Agent Forge solution: AgentField: The open-source AI backend. Define an agent, add one decorator, and you have production-ready micro services with async execution, shared memory, and live observability - fully deployed. Multi-agent coordination is one line of code. No extra infrastructure, no glue code. Your agents reason. Your infrastructure governs Actionbook: The browser action engine for AI agents. Equip your agents with up-to-date action manuals and verified DOM selectors to operate any website instantly. Eliminate guesswork and brittle scraping, empowering your agents to seamlessly handle modern web apps, SPAs, and complex workflows with unbreakable resilience and speed. Bright Data: Give your assistant the ability to browse the web. Build custom web-scraping "skills" into your agents to fetch real-time data, monitor trends, or aggregate research automatically using reliable, large-scale infrastructure.- Claim Bright Data Credits using this link: https://get.brightdata.com/aibuilders10 Evermind: Creator of EverOS, a revolutionary memory operating system designed for AI agents, providing long-term retention, deep personalization, and continuous learning to transform stateless models into intelligent partners Nosana: Supercharge your compute with Nosana's decentralized GPUs to run specialized AI models.

GLM‑5.1 is its latest frontier large language model, built as a SOTA open‑source model for long‑horizon tasks with Opus‑level reasoning depth. Build websites, create slides, analyze data, and get instant answers. Bonus Credits: Butterbase: The product backend for your coding agent. Once your coding agent is reasoning and acting, Butterbase handles everything the user-facing app around it needs — database, auth, file storage, API endpoints, and deployment. We also provide AI model integrations with 500+ models including LLMs, image, video and embedding models and partner and built-in integrations connect external accounts (Gmail, Slack, GitHub, etc.) Tell your AI coding assistant to use Butterbase and it wires it all up. Ship a real product, not just a demo. - Claim $20 @Butterbase Credits using this code: [FUN0516] Signup at https://butterbase.ai/ and click "grab a slice" Team Format Form a team of 1–6 people. Teams can blend different skill sets — developers, designers, business minds — to tackle bigger, more ambitious projects. ​​Judging Criteria Completeness: Whether the team finished at least a minimum viable product.Innovation: Is the product idea innovative?Real-Life Problem Solving: Is the project solving a real-life problem, or is there a real pain in the market?Sponsored Product Usage: Did the team use sponsored products? Prizes All winning teams will earn a share of exclusive hackathon prizes, including partner credits and 1000 USD cash prizes to keep building and scaling their projects.
