MTC x Grammarly: Agents in Action

MTC Berkeley presents Agents in Action, a Grammarly-sponsored AI hackathon bringing student builders together for a day of creativity, collaboration, and hands-on exploration.

Join us on October 16, 2026, from 1-10 PM in Berkeley, CA, to build a working prototype with Superhuman Go or Grammarly agents at the heart of your project. Combine them with other tools, explore unexpected uses, and create something you’re excited to demo.

With a Scrabble-inspired twist, you’ll assemble your team, choose your track, and make your move.

• Productivity & Replacement: Replace repetitive tasks, simplify manual processes, and build agents that help people get more done.

• Inclusion & Accessibility: Reduce barriers and help more people communicate, learn, work, and access information.

• Wildcard: Take an unexpected direction. Build something creative that pushes beyond the other tracks.

• Build & compete: Compete for prizes awarded to the top three projects overall, plus commemorative awards for the top three projects in each track—nine track awards total. Prize details will be announced.

• Learn the tools: Get hands-on through workshops and live demos.

• Meet the recruiters: Connect with Grammarly’s recruiting team during a dedicated recruiting hour. Resumes welcome!

• Take more home: Enjoy product vouchers for use during and after the event, plus Grammarly swag.

• Stay fueled: Food provided, with drinks sponsored by CELSIUS.
