📌 About the Hackathon

The Agentic AI Hackathon is a fast-paced, 2-day virtual building sprint co-hosted by Product Space and the development platform Code Benders.

The event is specifically designed to move you past abstract theory and into execution. Over the course of 48 hours, you will conceptualize, design, and build a functioning Agentic AI product (an AI system capable of thinking, using tools, and executing complex workflows independently). The judging panel evaluates participants not just on clean code, but on product thinking, business innovation, execution velocity, and final presentation.
