About
Everyone should register for the AWS Builder Loft using the link below and Please bring your Government issues physical ID to get access to the space Registration Link: https://events.builder.aws.com/aRP80l Build Your Own AI Company In this hackathon, you’re not just building an AI feature—you’re building a full-fledged AI company. Think like founders: identify a real problem, design an AI-powered product, and create something users could actually adopt, trust, and pay for. Your goal is to turn an idea into a startup-style demo powered by AI agents, models, or workflows. Track 1: AI SaaS Startup (B2B Tools) Build an AI software company that solves a clear business problem. Your product should help companies save time, reduce costs, or improve decision-making. Examples: AI sales assistant that writes follow-up emails and tracks leads HR AI that screens resumes and ranks candidates Finance AI that analyzes expenses and explains trends AI support agent that resolves customer tickets automatically Track 2: AI Consumer Startup (Everyday Apps) Create an AI-powered app for everyday users. Focus on personal productivity, lifestyle, learning, or entertainment. Examples: AI study coach that turns notes into quizzes and revision plans AI fitness planner that creates workouts and meal routines AI dating coach that improves profiles and messages AI personal planner that schedules your day based on goals Track 3: AI Agent Company (Autonomous Workers) Build AI agents that can complete tasks end-to-end. These are not chatbots—they are “AI employees” that take goals and execute workflows. Examples: AI marketing agent that creates and schedules social media campaigns AI research agent that reads articles and writes summaries AI recruiter agent that finds candidates and books interviews AI travel agent that plans full trips based on preferences Track 4: Vertical AI Company (Industry Specialists) Focus on one industry and build a highly specialized AI product for it. Go deep instead of broad. Examples: AI lawyer assistant that reviews contracts and finds risks AI healthcare assistant that summarizes patient reports AI real estate assistant that analyzes properties and generates listings AI teacher assistant that builds lesson plans and grading rubrics Track 5: AI Creative Studio (Content & Media Company) Build an AI company that generates or enhances creative content. This is the “AI entertainment studio” track. Examples: AI film generator that creates short movies from prompts AI music studio that composes songs based on mood AI game content generator that builds characters and storylines AI influencer tool that creates social media posts and videos Track 6: Choose Your Own AI Company Build any AI startup idea that doesn’t fit into the above tracks. This is for the most experimental, bold, or unconventional ideas. Examples: AI marketplace where users hire AI agents for different tasks AI startup simulator that runs a company autonomously AI negotiation agent that helps users close deals AI life operating system that manages everything from emails to goals 🎁 Participant Rewards Every participant will receive access to an incredible sponsor reward stack, including credits, tools, and free plans to help them build during and after the hackathon. 🪄 Participant Credits and Perks Nebius + Tavily Bundle $50 in tokens $50 in GPU credits $25 in Tavily credits Replit $20 in Replit credits for every participant You.com $100 in You.com credits for every participant Across our sponsor ecosystem, participants will receive access to 100K+ in credits, tools, and builder rewards to help them summon their projects into reality. ✨ 🏆 Prizes ⚙️ Best Use of InsForge Build something powerful using InsForge’s agent-native cloud infrastructure. 🥇 1st Place — $500 🥈 2nd Place — $300 🥉 3rd Place — $100 ⚙️ Best Use of Band 🏆 Winning Team — $500 cash 🔍 Best Use of You.com Use You.com’s Web Search APIs to build smarter AI systems, agents, research tools, workflows, or products with real-time, citation-backed search. 🏆 Winning Team — $1,000 in You.com credits ⚙️ Best Use of Hydra DB 🏆 Winning Team — 6 Months of HydraDB and tokens 🗓️ Schedule 9:30 AM to 10.00 AM Welcome and Opening Ceremony 10.00 AM to 11:00 AM Theme Introduction, Sponsor Demos, and Inspiration Talks 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM Hacking Sprint 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM Submissions and Judging Round 1 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM Finalist Demos 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM Winners Announcement and Closing Ceremony 🧰 Sponsors InsForge InsForge is building agent-native cloud infrastructure for modern AI development.
