🧠 Why This Hackathon?

Bots have changed the interface.

An AI bot can understand an objective, search across systems, use tools, interact with websites, make decisions and execute tasks.

And that raises some very interesting questions:

What does a storefront look like when the customer is an AI?

How does a merchant sell to a bot rather than a person?

Can a bot negotiate a purchase?

Can bots discover and transact with other bots?

How should humans authorize autonomous purchases?

What happens to search when bots decide what products to show?

What does customer loyalty mean when your bot chooses where you buy?

How do we make autonomous commerce trustworthy and observable?

What entirely new businesses become possible?

This hackathon is about actioning those answers.

💡 Why Participate?

Ship something real with Origin, Grok Bots, and Cursor.

Build on real commerce infrastructure Shopify, Supabase, and modern commerce APIs rather than building everything from scratch.

Build alongside London's developers, founders, AI engineers, designers and investors.
