Daytona HackSprint Singapore - August, 2026

Daytona HackSprint The era of simple chatbots is over. Real AI applications need to scrape live data, automate workflows, manage infrastructure, and deploy at scale — all working together in production. If you're ready to build real AI systems, this hackathon is for you. AI Builders is partnering with Daytona, our title sponsor, for a hands-on, full-day hackathon in Singapore — where you'll prototype production-grade AI applications with the open-source runtime powering today's agent infrastructure. ​About Daytona Daytona is secure and elastic cloud infrastructure built for autonomous agents. It gives every AI agent its own isolated sandbox — a full composable computer with its own kernel, filesystem, network stack, vCPU, RAM, and disk — so agents can safely execute code, install packages, run servers, and ship real work in production. Sub-second sandbox startup — sandboxes are ready to run code in roughly 90–200 ms, so your agents stay in flow.Full machine semantics — install packages, manage processes, use Git, compile code, run browsers or games, all inside the sandbox.Native SDKs + MCP — Python, TypeScript, Go, Ruby, and Java SDKs, plus a first-class MCP server so any agent framework can drive Daytona as a tool.Built for parallel agents — spin up thousands of sandboxes at once for fan-out agent workflows, model evaluation, or batch code execution.Open source (AGPL) — self-host on Kubernetes with the provided Helm chart, or use managed Daytona Cloud. If your agents need to actually do things in the real world — write code, deploy it, iterate — Daytona is the runtime under the hood. ​Sponsors Neo4j, the graph intelligence platform for building intelligent applications — its native graph database and GraphRAG capabilities help developers connect data, uncover relationships, and give AI systems the context needed for more accurate, explainable results. Nosana, a decentralized compute network offering on-demand GPU access to power demanding AI workloads — from large-scale training and fine-tuning of foundation models to low-latency real-time inference for production agents and applications worldwide. ​What You'll Do Build a working AI project in one day using Daytona, ai&, DoubleWord, Oxylabs, and NosanaAttend a hands-on workshop to get up to speed on Daytona sandboxes before hacking beginsForm teams (up to 6) or go solo — your callDemo your project live and compete for sponsor credit prizesConnect with builders, engineers, and founders in the Singapore AI community Your project must integrate the sponsored products — Daytona sandboxes are the easiest way to ship a working demo. This is your chance to go hands-on with tools used by production AI teams. ​Agenda 10:00 AM — Kickoff10:30 AM — Welcome by AI Builders and SG Innovate10:45 AM — Daytona workshop + Team formation11:30 AM — Hacking begins12:30 PM — Lunch4:30 PM — Hacking ends / Live demos (2 min per team)5:30 PM — Winners announced + Networking6:00 PM — Close ​Prizes Winning teams share sponsor credits as prizes. All participants receive credits from Daytona, Kimi AI, and Nosana to build with during the hackathon. ​Judging Criteria Completeness: Did the team ship 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 integrate sponsors products? ​Who Should Join Developers, AI engineers, founders, and students who want to go beyond tutorials and build something real. Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or shipping agents in production, there's a place for you here. Team formation happens after the workshop. Work solo or find teammates on the day.
