About this hackathon
From Research to Action: Agents That Discover, Verify & Transact
Build AI agents that can research, reason, use tools, verify information, and take action across real-world workflows.
Join us for a one-day builder hackathon at 42 Berlin. The hackathon is focused on two practical agent tracks: Research Agents and Agentic Commerce.
Capacity is limited to 100 builders. Food and drinks are included.
Partners
Nebius — a high-performance AI cloud platform for building and scaling modern AI systemsTavily — a search and retrieval API designed for powering intelligent agents with real-time, verifiable web data
Some ideas on what to build:
agents that research and synthesize information from the webagents that use tools and APIs to complete workflowsagents that support product discovery, comparison, and decision-makingagents that verify data before taking actionagents that connect research, recommendations, and transactionsagents that automate commercial or operational workflows
Tracks
Research AgentsBuild agents that search, retrieve, evaluate, summarize, and reason over information. This track is a fit for use cases around web research, source discovery, market intelligence, due diligence, monitoring, knowledge workflows, and verified research pipelines.
Agentic CommerceBuild agents that discover products or services, compare options, verify information, and support transactions or commercial workflows. This track is a fit for use cases around product discovery, shopping agents, marketplace automation, price comparison, procurement, MCP-based commerce workflows, and agentic payments.
Partner challenges, prizes, and technical resources will be announced shortly as partners are being confirmed.
