H Company × 42AI | Computer Use Agents Hackathon

About

Computer use. €10,000 in cash prizes. 36 hours to build something that works.

H Company × 42AI are bringing together around 100 builders in Paris on November 7–8 for an in-person hackathon focused on computer-use agents.

The goal: build an agent that can interact with software and get a real task done. Pick a use case, build it, and show it working.

The format

36 hours. Teams of 1–4. In person in Paris.

A short technical kickoff, hands-on building, mentors to help when you get stuck, and working demos at the end.

Prizes

€10,000 in cash prizes, plus credits and possibly a few surprises.

More details on the additional rewards will be announced ahead of the event.

Who should apply

Engineers, AI builders and hackers who can turn an idea into a working demo.

Show us what you’ve built. A GitHub repo, a live project, a demo or something you’re proud of.

Schedule

Saturday, November 7

Check in. Get the brief. Start building.

A short kickoff covering the challenge, the tools and APIs you can use, and what you’ll need to submit. Then it’s straight to building.

Mentors will be on hand to help with setup, technical questions and your project as you build.

Less time watching slides, more time making things work.
