Agents You Love 2: Hackathon

Build AI agents that people actually want to use.Join us in San Francisco on July 28 for an in-person builder hackathon with HydraDB, RocketRide, Thine, Guild.AI, and Snyk.Join our Discord to connect: https://discord.gg/t6mE9hCJzrThis is a hackathon for building personal, useful, and beloved AI agents—agents that understand context, remember what's important, use tools, automate workflows, and help people get real things done.No more wrapper demos. No more chatbots with landing pages. Build something that people would actually come back to.Whether you're building a personal AI assistant, workflow automation agent, memory-based co-pilot, agentic app, or something bizarre and beautiful, this is your playground.What you will buildBuild AI agents and apps that can:The theme is simple:Build agents that people love.This is not just hacking.

Launch Loud.New to RocketRide? Cloud is live: cloud.rocketride.ai 🚀LocationSan Francisco Exact location and check-in details will be shared with registered builders.About our partners:HydraDBHydraDB is a high-performance database optimised to handle the complex, memory-intensive data structures of modern AI agents. We are excited that their architecture supports the data layer of our builders!PipeShiftPipeShift offers lightning-fast, scalable LLM inference and deployment pipelines, making it easy to integrate powerful AI into any application. An incredible tool for teams racing against the clock!Guild.aiGuild.ai provides robust experimental tracking and automation for machine learning, helping developers evaluate and optimise their models with precision. Proud that their toolkit elevates the workflows of our hackers to the next level!RocketRideRocketRide is an open-source, developer-friendly AI meta-framework. Build, debug, and deploy production AI workflows within your IDE, and RocketRide Cloud is a managed engine; the same runtime is managed for you. It runs your AI workflows at a fraction of the cost on our own model server, scales without the infrastructure hassle, and enables your entire team to collaborate on shared pipelines.Linkup.soLinkup.so provides developers with real-time web search and context APIs, seamlessly connecting AI agents to the data they need to thrive. The perfect foundational tool for building dynamic, memory-rich agents!InsforgeInsforge offers streamlined developer infrastructure and tooling, eliminating setup friction so teams can fully focus on shipping code. Grateful that they are accelerating the builds for the Memory Agents You Love hackathon!Let’s build something amazing together. 💻✨SnykSnyk is a cybersecurity platform that focuses on developers, helping teams build quickly without sacrificing security. As developers heavily rely on AI to write code at unprecedented speeds, Snyk continuously scans application code, open-source dependencies, containers, and cloud environments directly within the developer's workflow. For an AI hackathon, this is crucial as quickly shipping code with AI generators or autonomous agents also means security risks are being shipped at machine pace. Snyk serves as an intelligent security layer, capturing vulnerabilities and applying approved fixes automatically in real-time—allowing builders to safely and confidently ship their ambitious AI projects. During this event, you’ll learn: 1) Sign up for free without a credit card, how to import your code and configure your AI coding tool 2) Free AI Security Engineer Foundations Certificate🚀 Hackathon Tip: Don’t waste demo time on infrastructureDemonstration runs faster when you can hand off a live link instead of sharing your localhost. RocketRide Cloud allows you to run your pipeline directly from VS Code to a shareable, always-on endpoint, without last-minute rewrites for demo time.It’s free today with the promo code: 1. Log in to cloud.rocketride.ai (create an account if you’re new) 2. Enter the promo code 3. Done, start deployingNeed help? We’re available all day, on-site and in Discord (https://discord.com/invite/PMXrtenMsY).Happy Hackathon!! 🚀Event Terms and ConsentBy registering, you agree to the event terms and conditions.
