What to look forward to
Non-slop is a one-day AI hackathon challenging participants to create thoughtful work with value beyond a simple prompt, and explain the choices behind it. Teams can build with Hermes Agent, Reducto, Pangram, and other tools, with judging by design and product professionals and cash, platform-credit, and tool-credit prizes.
Inside the event
Aesthetics can now be generated cheaply. That makes taste all the more worthwhile to build thoughtfully. Non-slop is a one day hackathon where you use AI to build something intentional that makes people feel something.
Theme: What matters when you can generate anything? Can you explain your choices?
The Challenge
Build something with AI that has value beyond a simple prompt. It can be a video, an image, a 3D printed object, a game, or anything else. Build with Hermes Agent (Nous Research’s open-source agent), Reducto’s document parsing API, Pangram’s API, and any other tools you like.
