The Agent Harness Hackathon

TrueFoundry Agent Harness Hackathon AI agents are easy to prototype and much harder to run in production. Once an agent touches real users, tools, data, budgets, and internal systems, the work becomes less about a clever prompt and more about routing, permissions, tracing, retries, evals, guardrails, cost controls, and deployment. Join TrueFoundry and HackerSquad for a full-day Agent Harness hackathon focused on building production-minded agentic applications. The goal is simple: take an agent use case from idea or prototype toward something that can be observed, governed, evaluated, and operated. TrueFoundry's AI Gateway, Agent Gateway, and MCP Gateway will frame the day. Builders will work on practical agent harness patterns such as model routing, controlled tool access, MCP workflows, observability, eval loops, fallback behavior, budget controls, governance, and deployment paths. This is a technical builder event, not a passive product pitch. Bring a laptop, a strong use case, and a willingness to build under realistic production constraints. What You Can Build Why This Gets Hard in Production Who Should Apply Format Bring Admission is free and approval-based because space is limited and the event is designed for technical builders working on relevant agent infrastructure and application problems. The exact South Bay venue and arrival details will be shared with approved attendees once the venue path is confirmed.
