Universal Hackathon - Create Your Own AI Workforce | AWS Builder Loft

The Universal Celebration Hackathon is a celebration of creativity, entrepreneurship, and the next generation of AI-powered companies. Bring your ideas, experiment with new possibilities, and turn your vision into something real. This hackathon is about more than building a prototype. It’s about imagining what a company looks like when AI agents can work together as a team. The Challenge Build a company run by a team of AI agents. Your challenge is to create an AI-native business or startup where multiple specialized agents work together to build, operate, and grow the company. Think of your agents as your founding team. You might have a CEO agent defining strategy, a product agent building the product, engineering agents writing code, marketing agents finding customers, sales agents closing deals, finance agents managing the business, and operations or customer-support agents keeping everything running. The key question is: What happens when you give an AI team a business to run? What to Build Build a working prototype of a company powered by a team of collaborating AI agents. Your project should: Identify a real problem or opportunity.Define a clear product, service, or business.Create multiple AI agents with distinct roles and responsibilities.Show how your agents communicate, collaborate, and make decisions.Demonstrate how the agents can actually execute business tasks.Show how your company could acquire customers, deliver value, and grow.
