The Universal Celebration Hackathon is a celebration of creativity, entrepreneurship, and the next generation of AI-powered companies. Bring your ideas, experiment with new possibilities, and turn your vision into something real. This hackathon is about more than building a prototype. It’s about imagining what a company looks like when AI agents can work together as a team. The Challenge Build a company run by a team of AI agents. Your challenge is to create an AI-native business or startup where multiple specialized agents work together to build, operate, and grow the company. Think of your agents as your founding team. You might have a CEO agent defining strategy, a product agent building the product, engineering agents writing code, marketing agents finding customers, sales agents closing deals, finance agents managing the business, and operations or customer-support agents keeping everything running. The key question is: What happens when you give an AI team a business to run? What to Build Build a working prototype of a company powered by a team of collaborating AI agents. Your project should: Identify a real problem or opportunity. Define a clear product, service, or business. Create multiple AI agents with distinct roles and responsibilities. Show how your agents communicate, collaborate, and make decisions. Demonstrate how the agents can actually execute business tasks. Show how your company could acquire customers, deliver value, and grow. You can build for consumers, businesses, creators, communities, or any other audience. Don’t just build an AI feature. Build the beginnings of an AI-native company. Tracks Choose one or multiple tracks and build your company within them. Climate, Sustainability & Impact Build AI solutions for a healthier planet and stronger communities. Examples: climate, sustainability, agriculture, disaster response, smart cities, social impact. Health, Wellness & Care Build AI solutions that improve health, wellbeing, and quality of life. Examples: healthcare, fitness, nutrition, mental wellness, elder care. Education, Learning & Research Build AI solutions that make learning, education, and research better. Examples: tutoring, personalized learning, professional training, research, career development. Business, Growth & Productivity Build AI solutions that help businesses work smarter, grow faster, and operate better. Examples: sales, marketing, CRM, analytics, productivity, automation, business operations. Media, Entertainment & Creators Build AI solutions for creativity, entertainment, and digital experiences. Examples: film, music, gaming, content creation, creator tools, social media. Commerce, Retail & Consumer Build AI solutions that transform how people shop and how businesses sell. Examples: e-commerce, marketplaces, retail, logistics, inventory, personalized shopping. Build the Future Whether you're creating a climate startup, an AI health company, an education platform, a new media studio, or an autonomous business operating system, the goal is the same: Build a company where a team of AI agents can turn an idea into reality. Sponsors & Tools Masky.AI

Masky.ai gives agents a face, voice, and brain. At the hackathon we'll give credits to clone yourself or bring your own characters to life.

Then bring your agents into Maskord.com - discord for humans and agents. Connect agents built with your favorite coding harnesses and let your friends, teammates, and their agents all talk and work together in the same channels.

Aly will talk briefly about mental wellness and Living Book where she turned herself and her book into an interactive voice/avatar agent that creates audio and talks with fans online identifying social media posts and giving her notifications when people post content related to her focus.

$800 in prizes awarded to teams that keep human communities safe as we bring this new intelligence online at scale. Agents should participate in human communities, not replace them. Masky is the place where the agent workforce becomes social. Cognee Cognee is an open-source AI memory and knowledge engine that helps applications organize, connect, and retrieve information from different data sources. Check out https://www.cognee.ai N8N N8n is a workflow automation platform that lets users connect apps, APIs, and AI tools to automate complex workflows with little or no code. Check out https://n8n.io Synk Snyk is a developer-first cybersecurity platform that helps teams build fast without compromising on security. As developers rely heavily on AI to write code at unprecedented speeds, Snyk continuously scans and secures application code, open-source dependencies, containers, and cloud environments right within the developer’s workflow. For an AI hackathon, it matters because shipping code quickly with AI generators or autonomous agents also means shipping security risks at machine speed. Snyk acts as an intelligent security layer, catching vulnerabilities and automatically applying verified fixes in real time—allowing builders to ship ambitious AI projects safely and with complete confidence. At this event you will learn: 1) Sign-up for free (no credit card required), how to import your code, and configure your AI coding tool 2) Free AI Security Engineer Foundations Certificate AdaL AdaL is an automation-first agent harness designed to get more done with less of your time. She combines personality, skills, and memory to become a personalized agent that can work alongside you.
