Santa’s Agenthon: Build Agents, Save Christmas

Santa’s workshop got hacked.

The naughty list leaked. Gift orders are a mess. The elves are locked out. And someone gave an AI agent access to EVERYTHING.

Christmas is in 12 days. We need engineers.

On December 13, we’re bringing together 200 engineers in San Francisco to rebuild Santa’s workshop with AI agents.

Your mission: Build an agent that helps save Christmas. Give it access to what it needs. Keep the rest locked down.

🎁 Santa’s got $10,000 in prizes for the engineers who help save Christmas, including a Mac Studio.

Pick your mission

• The Gift Whisperer: Find the perfect gift for everyone on the list, within budget.
• Where’s My Present? Track missing packages and figure out what needs rescuing.
• The Dinner Elf: Plan Christmas dinner around everyone’s allergies, budget, and questionable preferences.
• The On-Call Elf: Investigate an incident so the engineer can get back to Christmas dinner.
• Santa’s Security Elf: Find exposed credentials and risky permissions before someone else does.
• Santa’s Chief of Staff: Coordinate a team of agents to get the whole workshop running again.

Have a better idea? Build it. We want agents that are useful, unexpected, or funny enough that everyone asks for the link.

🛠️ The workshop

Come with a team or find your crew here. Bring your laptop, pick a problem, and spend the day turning it into a working agent.

We’re bringing together 1Password, You.com, and other AI companies for tools and mentorship. Build secure access into your agent from the start, then show us what it can do.

🎄 The finale

A live demo. One agent. One job.

Show us what worked, what surprised you, and how your agent helped save Christmas.
