ContextCon Build

About

​Every builder gets a Crustdata API key with credits, and Crustdata’s engineers are on the floor all day :) ​Services, Replaced. Services as software, powered by agent-native data infrastructure. ​Services are at a turning point. For twenty years, software helped recruiters, analysts and diligence firms do their jobs. Now it’s starting to do the jobs itself. ​Models read a 300-page filing and hold a plan across hundreds of steps. Agents have their own inboxes, phone numbers and payment rails, and who someone is and what a company does sits in one canonical graph an agent can query live. The pieces are in place: what will you build on top of them? ​Building a service is different from building a tool. The accepted offer rather than a list of candidates. A memo with a source on every claim rather than a summary. Follow-ups that run for weeks rather than one good answer. A record of every case rather than a chat history. ​If you’re an exceptional builder who wants to find out what happens when a whole service runs without a person in the middle, join us at ContextCon Build, hosted by Crustdata. ​Prizes ​🥇 1st Place - Prizes worth $4,000 🥈 2nd Place - Prizes worth $2,000 🥉 3rd Place - Prizes worth $500 We'll be providing breakfast, lunch and snacks during the event ​What You’ll Build ​Agents that turn a whole service into software. Think: ​A recruiter that takes a role and returns an accepted offer ​A diligence team that turns a data room into the red flags a partner needs before the second meeting ​An underwriter that checks every submission against the world, then quotes, refers or declines ​A scout that finds exceptional founders before they raise, and says why each one deserves a meeting ​A fraud investigator that takes an insider tip and returns a complaint-ready case file ​Or what these agents run on: memory that lasts for months, a check on every action before it goes out, agents that pay their own way ​The shape is yours: a single agent, a system of agents, an MCP server or a CLI. Or bring your own idea. ​Agenda ​Saturday, October 24 ​10:00 AM: Doors open and check-in. Coffee, Wi-Fi and your API key. Write the service you came to replace on a sticker for the Services, Replaced wall. ​10:15 AM: Team formation. Solo builders pitch an idea in one line, and teams form in fifteen minutes. ​10:30 AM: Kickoff, to “Can We Fix It?”. The themes, and what your product will face. ​11:00 AM: Building begins! ​From 12:00 PM: The Bell is live. The first team to take a real request all the way through rings it. ​1:00 PM: Lunch. ​2:30 PM: Checkpoint. Show a mentor one request going all the way through. Optional, and just for you. ​3:30 PM: Tea and tech talks. Crustdata’s engineers on building a canonical identity graph: entity resolution, crawling the live web, search across people and companies, retrieval for agents, data pipelines and infrastructure. ​4:15 PM: Dry run. A sample request goes up, so you can practise for the demo. ​5:00 PM: Code freeze, to “The Final Countdown”. Submissions due. ​5:15 PM: Live demos. Three minutes live, then two minutes of questions. ​6:30 PM: People’s Choice. Every builder votes for the demo they’d hire. ​6:45 PM: Winners announced, then the group photo in front of the wall! ​7:00 PM: Wrap.
