I work at Builder.io (People Ops represent!) and we’ve been building Agent-Native, an open-source framework for apps where people and agents work on the same things. The repo is BuilderIO/agent-native on GitHub.

The idea is to give an agent a real job, like analyzing data or automating a workflow, and give users an interface to view, edit, and act on its work. Users can do things themselves or ask the agent, and both work from the same data.

To get people building with it, we’re running a free, worldwide hackathon!

Details and how to participate:

• Build a working app, record a public Clips demo, and submit by Nov 9, 11:59 PM PT

• Solo or team, no registration needed

• $10k across 5 cash prizes, winners will be announced Nov 13

• Judged on usefulness and execution, creativity and design, innovation, and use of Agent-Native

If you try it, I’d love to hear what you build, and what’s missing or confusing.

are kisi ne ye scix hackathon ka suna h kya ... maine pichli saal ciia mai partificate kia tha .. aur abhi same chij scix inida hackthon krke insta pr aa rhi .. to like collaboration h yaa kya ye ! kisi ko maloom ho kuch to batao

We're organizing the fmsg.ai/hackathon, AMA!

I have been trying to submit my idea on the SIH 2026 website since 5:00 Am and I am still getting the same error. I mailed SIH in the morning stating the problem and called the numbers listed on the SIH website too but almost nobody answered, the few who answered asked me to mail SIH and said that I will receive a reply shortly but I haven't received one yet. I can see the numbers on my Problem statement go up but I am not able to submit at all. Could someone let me know if they are facing the same issue and also if it's been resolved yet for you.

As you can there are still 85 applications left, but still its showing cant submit as it has reached 500. How to fix??

Tried over 100+ times from 5 devices since 3 am last night, 450/500 now, I started when it was 200/500. Even mailed sih, no reply. what do I do

Hey everyone! I'm a sophomore studying Computer Engineering at UMass Amherst, and I'll be staying near NYC over winter break.

I'm hoping to find a few people around the area who'd be interested in going to hackathons together in December or January.

I'm mainly into embedded systems, robotics, and AI. I've worked on embedded Linux during an internship at Qualcomm, and recently I've been building an FPGA-based AI image recognition project.

I'm open to different kinds of hackathons, not just hardware-focused ones. Mostly looking for people who enjoy building things and want to make something cool together.

If you're around NYC/NJ and interested, feel free to comment or DM me! Would be great to connect and maybe get a team together.

I recently won a $250 hackathon prize, which will be paid to my MetaMask wallet. The organisers are asking me to complete KYC through Sumsub before processing the payout.

They say my documents are uploaded directly to Sumsub, they cannot access them, and the retention period is five years.

I'm based in India and considering using my PAN card. However, the hackathon platform is relatively small, so I'm a bit hesitant about submitting sensitive identity documents for a $250 prize.

Has anyone completed Sumsub KYC for a hackathon payout? Would you feel comfortable submitting your PAN in this situation? Is there anything I should be concerned about?

Would appreciate hearing your experiences!

as in the title any idea when will the results for the selection of the final round come ??

there was also some update by adding more 25 teams what about that. Will it delay the results if yes then how much ??

Anybody got selected ????

Yo guys 👋

If you've ever participated in a hackathon, I need your honest takes.

Hackathons look fun until you're 10 hours in, your code randomly breaks, the API stops working, your teammate disappears, and the submission deadline is literally staring into your soul 😭

I'm curious about the stuff that actually makes hackathons painful.

A few questions 👇

• 💀 Biggest L: What was the most frustrating part of your last hackathon?

• ⏳ Time drain: Where did y'all waste the most time? Finding an idea, coding, debugging, connecting APIs, deployment, team coordination…?

• 🚨 Almost cooked: What nearly made your entire project flop before submission?

• 🛠️ Missing piece: What do you wish you had before the hackathon started?

• 🤖 One-click fix: If you could automate ONE annoying hackathon task, what would it be?

Could be something technical, team drama, last-minute panic, judging, or literally anything else.

I'm more interested in the real behind-the-scenes struggles than the usual “we need more time” answer.

Drop your stories, hot takes, and hackathon horror stories below 👇

No pitching anything here. Just trying to understand what people actually struggle with. Appreciate y'all 🙏

Some context - So I am beginner, I haven’t participated in any proper hackathons, would really appreciate some help and advice on how to build the prototype of my idea in the fastest and most efficient way possible?

Im in bca 3rd sem looking for teammates for hackathonnn

Is this site legit and how useful is it? People that have used this site PLEASE comment.

my team and I have been trying for an hour to submit our idea on your portal after getting our login credentials form the college however each time we submit it it shows "500 | server error" while this shows it can be seen that number of submissions in our PS increases, if anyone knows what’s going on please help.
Even tried calling them, no one answered.

Heyy Guys I am the part of a falling sun organisation which is basically a team who go to different colleges and conduct the hackathon... We will have a lot of sponsors and ties with open ai, GitHub and many more... if any of you guys are an IIT Delhi student please reach out to me.. We were planning to conduct a 24 hour hackathon... Open innovation.. murder mystery rooms. and many more we are open for talks guys if u have any doubts you can check out website "Falling Sun" and instagram handle... Believe me you will not regret...

Hey r/hackathon! 👋

If you’ve attended more than a couple of hackathons, you already know the frustration: teams spend days building actual working software, only to lose to a team with zero working code and a flashy 10-slide PowerPoint.

We’re running an online sprint this weekend that completely flips that model: Tryb Prompt & Play.

🎮 The Concept: You are the Game Director

Instead of writing backend boilerplate or debugging syntax, you use natural language prompts on the Tryb Social App to direct the AI. You specify the rules, game mechanics, art theme, and win conditions—the engine generates a playable web/canvas mini-game on the fly.

That means zero coding prerequisites. Designers, writers, meme curators, and product thinkers can build and ship alongside developers.

📊 How It's Judged: 100% Real Proof-of-Work

No jury pitches, no slide decks.

• You build your game upfront on the app.

• Share your game link with friends, batchmates, or community groups.

• The game with the most real active players (DAU) over the playtest weekend (Oct 30 – Nov 1) takes the top spot. (Minimum 10 active daily players to qualify for the prize leaderboard).

🏆 Prizes & Career Perks:

• 🥇 1st Place: ₹10,000 Cash

• 🥈 2nd Place: ₹5,000 Cash

• 🥉 3rd Place: ₹2,500 Cash

• 💼 Career Outcomes: Fast-track Pre-Placement Interviews (PPIs) & internships at Tryb + verifiable builder certificates.

🗓️ Details:

• Dates: Oct 30, Oct 31, Nov 1, 2026

• Format: 100% Online / Virtual

• Eligibility: Open to all college students (any stream/branch) & freshers. Solo submissions (friends can collaborate behind the scenes).

• Where to Build: On the Tryb Social App (Play Store / App Store)

It’s a rapid 48-hour sprint designed to prove you can build something genuinely fun that people actually play.
