Nothing pre-built, so every team starts level Submissions are a repo link plus a demo recording Two rounds of judging: preliminary round followed by finalists p

A hackathon on building quality agents, co-hosted by Failproof AI and Quad AI. We hand every team the same AI agent. It works... sometimes. You have under two hours to make it one you would ship. Same agent, same model, same tools for everyone. Change anything around the model: prompts, tool definitions, validation, retries, guardrails and policies. Then we run a hidden eval suite against every submission, three times per task. A task only counts if it passes all three. How the evening runs 4:30 pm: doors open, form teams 4:45 pm: kickoff. Meet the agent, the public eval suite and the baseline score 5:00 pm: build 6:50 pm: code freeze. The hidden suite runs while teams demo 7:30 pm: results and wrap Judging Reliability (80 points): the share of hidden tasks your agent passes on all three runs, inside the call, time and token limits Your evals (20 points): up to ten eval cases you add, each counted when the baseline fails it and your agent passes it every time Ties go to the lower cost per task Bring your laptop, your charger and a GitHub account. Come solo or as a team of up to three. We provide the agent, a model key for your team and the public eval suite. It's Hacktoberfest, so the agent is open source. After the event, open your fix as a pull request. The best fixes and evals get merged. Free. Registration is subject to host approval. The exact address in HSR Layout is shared once you're in. Also listed on MLH: https://events.mlh.com/events/14866-hacktoberfest-meetup-bengaluru-x-failproofai Venue: Quad AI HSR Campus, 27th Main Rd, beside RBIH, 1st Sector, HSR Layout, Bengaluru 560102.

Join a Claude Community Event, organized by local enthusiasts for everyone who loves building with Claude! Part II of the Claude Conversation for Biotech & Life Sciences in San Diego, a two-part series. Curious about Part I? Details here! Last month, we held Part I, the Claude Conversation: a room full of San Diegans spent an evening sharing our experiences, fears, hopes, and ideas focused on the future of AI in biotech and life sciences. This month, it's time for Part II: What should we do about it? What solutions might we build? Three key themes emerged from Part I of the Claude Conversation that will guide our tracks for Part II, the Impact Lab: 1) How do we address concerns around AI being "confidently wrong," especially when dealing with scientific data? 2) What are the opportunities and use cases for in-silico testing and discovery? 3) How do we protect proprietary scientific data? No previous hackathon experience required! Pick one of the three tracks, tell us your area of expertise in the sign-up, and we'll make sure you have a team for the evening. This isn't your typical hackathon - by the end of the evening, we hope you've built not only a prototype, but also real connections and continued conversations right here in your community around the future of AI in this space. See you there!

There are many groups promoting this event. Our meetup group is participating by promoting this event. This event is organized by Albert's List. There is a fee to attend this event. Our group is getting a discount. Visit the link below to get a 10% discount: The job market is projected to stay tight through Q4 2026 and Q1 of 2027. That's not a reason to panic — it's a reason to get specific. In a slower market, activity doesn't win. Strategy does. If your search right now looks like more applications, another resume draft, and less response than you'd like, the problem usually isn't effort. It's that the effort has no plan behind it. 6 Weeks to Hired is built around that fix: a five-part framework — Positioning, Targeting, Networking, Conversion, Execution — taught live, applied to your actual search, inside The Playbook as your working system for the program. What we cover: Week 1 (10/26) — Positioning: What do you want the market to remember about you, and what evidence backs it up? Week 2 (11/2) — Targeting: Build a real shortlist of roles and companies worth your time — not a spray list. Week 3 (11/9) — Networking: Turn LinkedIn and your network into actual conversations, not cold messages that go nowhere. Week 4 (11/16) — Conversion: Materials and outreach that get through recruiter and ATS filters — now that there's a strategy behind them. (Light async check-in the week of 11/23 — no live session, program's off for Thanksgiving.) Week 5 (11/30) — Interview: Tell your story with confidence and control the conversation instead of reacting to it. Week 6 (12/7) — Execution: Turn offers into better offers, and leave with a 90-day plan for after the cohort ends. Six live sessions across seven calendar weeks — we skip the week of Thanksgiving, with a light touchpoint in between so momentum doesn't stall.

This hackathon is about building with agent harnesses, hands-on, alongside the people building the tools. We're teaming up with LangChain Ambassador Zamal Babar and Data Reply to host an evening of talks and hacking in Munich. You'll form small groups, build a deep agent from scratch, and demo it to a panel of judges by the end of the night. What you'll build The theme is agent harnesses — the scaffolding that turns a model into a system that can plan, use tools, and recover from its own mistakes. Steffen Hausmann will kick things off with two short talks: one on deep agents, and one on managed deep agents. Then you'll put it into practice. A few days before the event, we'll send out a prompt so you can come with an idea already in mind. Use the time before the hackathon to think through your approach — you'll want it once the clock starts. What to bring Your laptop and a group to hack with (we'll help you form one if you don't have one) Your own API keys for any models or tools you plan to use Questions for Steffen, Zamal, and the Data Reply team — they'll be around all night We'll provide LangSmith credits to every attendee for the event, so you can trace and debug your agent as you build. 🏆 Prizes 1st place: $3,000 in LangSmith credits 2nd place: $2,000 in LangSmith credits 3rd place: $1,000 in LangSmith credits 🧑‍⚖️Judges Steffen Hausmann, Deployed Engineer at LangChain Zamal Babar, LangChain Ambassador A member of the engineering team at Data Reply ⏰ Agenda 5:00 – 5:15 pm Doors open, food, and networking 5:15 – 5:30 pm Welcome and theme intro 5:30 – 5:40 pm Talk: Deep agents (Steffen Hausmann) 5:40 – 5:50 pm Talk: Managed deep agents (Steffen Hausmann) 5:50 – 8:30 pm Hacking (judges circulate and review in the final 30 minutes) 8:30 pm Demos, prizes, and closing 9:00 PM Event Ends Hosted by Data Reply in Munich.

Learn how to use Git and GitHub for collaborative coding, a necessary skill in many real-world projects and hackathons! In this workshop, Solal Pirelli (developer on the Scala compiler) will share some tips on how to efficiently integrate Git and GitHub in your day to day workflow.

Building solo, together. A free fortnightly co-working day for startup founders, indie hackers, designers and makers building their own thing. On any given Friday there's someone launching a website, someone wiring up an AI agent, someone chasing first customers, someone rewriting a pitch. Different projects, same fight. What people come for: Momentum. A full day carved out to ship, next to people doing the same Accountability. Say what you're building at 9:30, show where it got to by 3:30 Feedback. Demo to people who get it - progress, not polish Getting unstuck. Someone in the room has hit your problem before: pricing, landing pages, that 2pm bug Community. Building your own thing is lonely. This is the fix. Not a hackathon: no shared challenge, no teams, no prize, nothing to prepare. Bring whatever you're already building - or just an idea and a laptop. The day: 9:00 - doors open, coffee, grab a desk 9:30 - rolling intro circle: who you are, what you're building, what you want to get done today 3:00 - demos: 5 minutes each, progress not polish 4:00 - wrap up, or keep working if you're in the zone Free, BYO laptop. We take photos for socials - tell the host if you'd rather not be in them. Coworking space hosted by Kaiba on K Road. The exact address is sent to registered guests.

This October, we’re bringing the START Warsaw hackathon back as part of Poland Tech Week 2026. Builders, founders, designers and engineers will work on challenges from companies with real problems to solve. The goal is simple: build a working prototype and show what it can do. Come with a team of 3–4 or apply solo and meet your teammates here. You’ll spend most of the time building, testing and preparing a demo. Bring a laptop, a charger, and something you want to prove. Our first two case partners are Reactive AI and Bending Spoons. Reactive AI is rethinking how AI models work, building a new architecture with memory at its core so AI can learn from interactions instead of starting fresh every time. Their track challenges teams to push the boundaries of AI benchmarking and rethink how we measure what AI can actually do. Bending Spoons, the technology company behind products such as WeTransfer and Evernote, has just opened an office in Warsaw. They’re joining with a challenge of their own for teams to tackle. The full briefs for both partners will follow. Like last time, OpenAI will be joining us as a technology partner, more details coming soon. ElevenLabs joins as a tool partner, offering participants one month of Creator access, plus Pro prizes for the overall winning team and Scale prizes for the best project built with ElevenLabs. Access and redemption instructions will be shared with accepted participants. Prelint joins as a tool partner as well. Prelint is an AI reviewer that checks every pull request against what your team actually decided to build. It flags the moment the code drifts from the plan and surfaces the decisions your AI agents made without telling you. Each team gets $250 in credits to use during the hackathon, with $2,000 in credits for the winning team. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We’ll email selected applicants with next steps. Each teammate must apply separately. 30–31 October, Warsaw. Venue and exact hours to follow. Abou

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 around SWITCH conference week, for a hands-on 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 lar

Hi new friends and old! The Friendly Data Meetup Hackathon is back by popular demand! 🎉 After the brilliant turnout (and the even more brilliant demos) at our first hackathon in January, we simply had to do it again. 👩‍💻 This evening is all about learning, building, and having fun with friendly faces. No pressure, no pitch decks, just inquisitive minds making cool things with data. With perhaps a slight competitive edge for those seeking glory 😉 📍 We're very grateful to Quantspark for kindly hosting us at their venue for the evening! 💡 The challenge: Judge the Agent ⚖️ Dawdle Deliveries' shiny new AI customer support bot goes live next week. Is it actually ready? Your job is to find out, with evidence instead of vibes! AI agents are moving into production, and everyone is asking the same question: how do you know it works? Together, we'll find out by building an evaluation harness from scratch: 🧪 Write the tests: a set of realistic (and sneaky) customer questions ✅ Build the checks: automatic pass/fail checks, plus an AI judge that marks every answer 🔧 Fix it and prove it: improve the bot, then show a before/after scorecard proving your fix worked (without breaking anything else!) The challenge is split into levels, so every team can work at its own pace, and there are bonus rounds (tracing, red-teaming, model shoot-outs) for the speedy ones. We'll finish with quick 3-minute demos: your scorecard, your most interesting failure, and the big question: do you trust your judge? 🤔 You’re welcome to choose your own team of 2-4, or teams will be formed on the evening, so don’t worry if you’re coming solo. ✅ Pre-flight checklist This hackathon is very hands-on, so it's best suited to people who already write code and/or have some working knowledge with data and AI. You'll get the most out of the evening if you: Have decent working experience writing code Are very comfortable with git, Docker and Python environments Are happy to dig in and figure things out with your team

Overwrite jam is a bit different from your typical game jam. Along with making a game in 48 hours, you'll be given a piece of hardware to integrate into the game! Think hack-a-thon meets game jam, instead of using an xbox controller to control the game you'll have something new to interface with. All are welcome, regardless of experience level, to come make a game over a weekend! We've designed this game jam as beginner friendly way to jump into creating new ways to interface with a game. Come on out and expand your game making skills, pick up a new tool, or experiment with a new idea! Registering is totally free, and each team will get 1 piece of hardware (as long as supplies lasts). What the hardware is will be announced at the start of the jam! Thank you so much to our Sponsor Unity! https://unity.com/ This jam has been designed and developed in partnership with fellow community member Michael Berthaud!! If you experience any harassment or other disrespectful behavior, please report it to the organizer of this event (either in person at the event, on the Boston Game Dev slack channel, or via the messaging feature on Meetup), MIT staff, or email us at contact@bostongamedev.org.

The software landscape is undergoing its most radical transformation in decades. The role of the engineer is moving from syntax to system review, reasoning architectures, and orchestrating autonomous agent networks. Simultaneously, intelligent tools are turning product managers, designers, finance leads, and operators into high-velocity solution builders. Gartner projects that 80% of technology products and services will soon be built by people outside traditional software engineering roles. In a world where anyone can build, adopting a secure-by-default mindset, mastering core theory, and fiercely debating how domestic infrastructure is governed matters more than ever. Who Gets to Build, Own, and Define the Future? unites engineers, researchers, founders, and cross-functional builders for an immersive full-day summit organized across two dedicated tracks and four physical environments. 🌟 Featured Keynotes & Plenary Headliners Jim Balsillie (Retired Chairman & Co-CEO of BlackBerry / RIM; Chair, Council of Canadian Innovators)Scaling BlackBerry from an idea into a $20 billion global tech giant, Jim is Canada’s foremost authority on IP strategy, data sovereignty, and technology governance.

Tem informação nova sobre IA saindo mais rápido do que dá pra acompanhar. É frustrante salvar 10 ferramentas novas e nunca ter tempo de testá-las. Nós sentimos tudo isso. Decidimos criar um espaço onde as mulheres podem colocar a mão na massa e aprender sobre AI construindo. Apoio: Replit O QUE É Um dia inteiro dedicado à construção de projetos utilizando IA. Pegar um projeto pessoal, um problema real ou algo que te brilhe os olhos e utilizar inteligência artificial para tirar suas ideias do papel. Nosso evento ocorre no mais novo hub de tecnologia de São Paulo, a Gama House. No nosso hack, você vai: Testar a feature que saiu na sexta, antes que ela já vire "a antiga" Começar/destravar seus projetos pessoais Aprender com as mãos na massa, cercado de gente fazendo o mesmo Se conectar com a comunidade brasileira que constrói produtos globais usando IA No fim do dia, você sai com um projeto funcional nas mãos e sabendo mais de IA do que quando chegou. COMO FUNCIONA Não é um hackathon comum. O formato é pensado para potencializar o seu aprendizado: Não tem competição, não tem prêmio, não tem banca avaliadora esperando um pitch. Você constrói a sua própria ideia. Aqui o seu time te ajuda a destravar um bug ou traz uma ferramenta que você nunca viu, mas cada pessoa constrói o próprio projeto do começo ao fim. Estamos te desafiando a provar pra você mesmo que com IA, você dá conta do problema inteiro, construindo as suas ideias de ponta a ponta. No começo do dia, temos um painel com pessoas envolvidas no mundo do empreendedorismo e da IA, para trazer mais ideias e propor discussões construtivas para todos PARA QUEM É Pra quem consome muito sobre IA e sente que já devia estar fazendo bem mais com isso. Pra quem cansou de aprender sozinho e quer estar perto de gente tão ambiciosa quanto. Para os inquietos que perceberam que estamos no meio de uma revolução e não querem assistir de fora Para quem ama dar vida às próprias ideias e acredita que esse é o melhor momento da hist

AI is fundamentally transforming scientific research, accelerating everything from hypothesis generation to experimentation and discovery. But as scientific output scales, our ability to evaluate, validate, and distinguish meaningful discoveries from noise must keep pace. We believe the next big challenge isn't just accelerating science with AI, but rethinking how science itself is organised, evaluated, and rewarded. That's why we're proud to announce that Stockholm AI is sponsoring the AI for Meta-Science workshop at NeurIPS 2026 in Paris! To celebrate, we are once again partnering with Sweden AI Factory for a 7-day hackathon tackling challenges in AI for Meta-Science. The winning team will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to NeurIPS in Paris (9–13 December), along with a coveted poster slot as well as a dedicated oral presentation at the AI for Meta-Science workshop! The hackathon and the winning prize are fully sponsored by the Sweden AI Factory. The hackathon kicks off with a two-hour event at RISE KTH on Tuesday, 10 November at 17:30, where we'll introduce the challenges and share more details. Food and drinks will be provided! Key Dates: 10 November, 17:30 – Kick-off at RISE KTH 17 November, 18:00 – Submission deadline 24 November – Winner announced 9–13 December – NeurIPS 2026 in Paris More details, including a dedicated hackathon website, are coming soon.

About this hackathon 💡 Most hackathon projects die on Sunday night. This one is designed so yours doesn't. The AI Tools that Earn Hackathon is a one-day event hosted by Apify at a Zostel Plus hacker house in Whitefield, Bangalore. The challenge: build solutions someone would pay for, not just a demo. Extract data, combine tools, draw conclusions, trigger actions. Raw data is worthless until it becomes a conclusion someone acts on: a report that writes itself, a score instead of a haystack, a paragraph that replaces an hour of reading. If you can name who'd pay for it, you're on theme. Need inspiration? A sales team doesn't want 10,000 company names; they want the 40 that raised funding this month, with contacts attached. A lender doesn't want three days of manual checks; they want one due diligence brief. These are examples to get you thinking, not themes: build whatever you want, for whichever buyer you know best. You'll build on the Apify platform and ship your project as an Actor to Apify Store, where 10k+ developers already publish and earn, and every Actor works with AI agents out of the box via MCP and agent plugins. Thirteen of the top creators from India and Nepal will be in the room all day as your mentors and judges. Several of them make a living from projects that started exactly like yours. How judging works ⚖️ Every project is judged against one question: would someone actually pay for this? Picture a real person who needs the output of your Actor. Your demo should name that person, show what they get, and run live. The judges earn from their own Actors, so they'll know a real answer when they hear one. Your mentors and judges 🧑‍🏫 These creators build and earn on Apify Store, and they'll be with you all day: Harsh Maur, Pratik Dani, Shanskar Bansal, Dhrumil Bhankhar, Anas Nadeem, Jay Kumar Yadav, Sachin Kumar Yadav, Govind Sehrawat, scrapeverse, Sourabh Kumar, Manoj Karki, Surendra Tamang, and Tara Prasad Gurung.

Good morning dear community, we are planning our next hackathon, this time in collaboration with reply at their wonderful office. Thanks to Michael Lauter for your great effort to making this possible and for your collaborative spirit - much appreciated and obviously also to the whole reply team great attitude. For this hackathon we are collecting real industry challenges and will be distributing them a month prior to the event, so that the teams have decent time to build prototypes. One technology that we are exploring is semvec.io as a memory system coming out of the Munich ecosystem. Obviously we only use it where there is a fit, but some use cases surely have one. Looking forward to see many of you there and with that said I will contact you on Novemeber 7th with the challenges. All the best, Johannes
