about this event
Build the future on a computer made for agents. Matrix OS is hosting a focused, in-person solo hackathon for developer-founders, AI engineers, product-minded builders, and agent creators who want to ship something real in one day. Every participant gets a persistent, preconfigured Matrix OS cloud computer for agents, tools, files, repositories, and long-running workflows. Your environment keeps working when your laptop closes—so you can focus on the build instead of the setup. Mentors will be on call throughout the day.
WHO IT'S FOR Developer-founders, AI engineers, product-minded builders, and agent creators. All experience levels are welcome. Applications are curated to keep the room ambitious, supportive, and balanced.
CHALLENGE AREAS • Cloud coding — new ways to build from anywhere • Custom agent harnesses — agents for a specific role, profession, or workflow • Personal assistants — tools that keep context and continue working over time • Personal software — built for one person's exact needs • The company OS — shared agents, tools, knowledge, and workflows
HOW IT WORKS Apply — tell us what you want to build and why. Build — work solo for one focused day with Matrix OS provided. Submit — share your repository, a working demo, and a short write-up. Demo — pitch live to the judges. Standout projects win prizes.
