Agentic Hackathon: From Research to Commerce

About

From Research to Action: Agents That Discover, Verify & Transact

Seven hours to build an agent that actually does something. Form a team, pick a track, ship a working demo by the evening — then carry the best builds through to AIB Demo Day in December.

Monday 19 October, 14:00–21:00, at The Delta Campus, Berlin. Food and drinks throughout.

Tracks

Research Agents: Build agents that search, retrieve, evaluate, summarise and reason over information. A fit for web research, source discovery, market intelligence, due diligence, monitoring, knowledge workflows and verified research pipelines.

Agentic Commerce: Build agents that discover products or services, compare options, verify information and support transactions or commercial workflows. A fit for product discovery, shopping agents, marketplace automation, price comparison, procurement, MCP-based commerce workflows and agentic payments.
