What to look forward to
AI engineers, founders, and builders will spend a day creating production-ready agents powered by live web data, with hands-on guidance from You.com, Parasail, CrewAI, and partner engineers. Teams will tackle autonomous agent swarms or generative UI challenges, demo working prototypes, and compete for more than $10,000 in prizes.
Inside the event
Join top AI engineers, founders, and builders at the AWS Builder Loft in San Francisco for a full day of building production-ready AI agents powered by live web data.
Special Halloween themed tracks and Best Costume Prize
Build on You.com developer platform, Parasail, One, and Crewai and collaborate directly with the engineers behind the APIs to ship something real and SPOOKY in a single day.
Why Attend?
- Build alongside Bay Area's top AI engineers, founders, and builders
- Learn directly from You.com's product and engineering leaders
- Get hands-on help from the engineers behind the APIs powering Agentic Era
- Ship a working prototype in one day and demo your project to AI leaders and judges
- Expand your network with some of the Bay Area's best
Themes
🧟 Theme 1: "The Exorcism Protocol" (Autonomous Agent Swarms)
A paranormal outbreak is spreading through a live facility simulation. Teams build an autonomous supervised swarm — CrewAI agents with distinct roles, tools, and only partial individual knowledge — that must sense, share intel, and coordinate containment in real time. Victory is measured by the swarm, not a single model: containment speed, false-alarm rate, and "civilians saved" all feed the live venue scoreboard.
🎃 Theme 2: The "Haunted Dashboard" (Generative UI Pipelines)
Create an automated Spooky Tactical Command Station served by Parasail's inference endpoints. The system takes real-time, unstructured "Spooky Incident Logs" (e.g., zombie outbreaks, phantom activity levels) and processes them through a structured retrieval network to dynamically build and compile functional, beautifully designed web interfaces on the fly over WebSockets.

About Us
You.com is the leading AI search infrastructure — built for developers. Our APIs let you build intelligent agents and applications that use live, factual data from the web, news, and research, in real time. With just a few lines of code, you can power your LLMs with up-to-date, citation-backed results instead of static training data.
One (withone.ai) provides managed auth and 729 platform integrations behind a four-command CLI, plus agent memory, scheduling, and webhooks. Load-bearing partner for the theme. Track 1 does not exist without it. Contact: Edward Irby.
CrewAI provides multi-agent orchestration and is the default framework in the starter repo. Repeat partner from SF, where they supplied credits and an on-site engineer.
Parasail is an AI inference cloud that lets companies run and scale AI models on GPUs from a global network without owning or managing hardware. Its orchestration engine sends each workload to available GPUs
AWS is Amazon’s cloud platform, offering on-demand computing, storage, databases, networking and AI/ML services that companies of all sizes use to build and run applications without managing their own data centers.
UpScaleX is a pre-seed to seed fund co-building with technically strong founders across the AI stack, from AI infrastructure to applications. We support founders from day one with capital, hands-on product and GTM work, and a network of 10,000+ innovators
