AgentHacks is a 2-day applied research workshop focused on building intelligent agentic systems. Hosted by Dex, AfterQuery, and AGI House, the event bridges the gap between academic research and real-world AI applications.

Join 300+ hackers, researchers, founders, and students to build something awesome in the global hub for tech and AI. If you are unable to make it in person, we are allowing teams/members to participate virtually!

NOTE: Registering on Devpost does not give you access to the event, you must apply through our site: agenthacks.org.

Requirements

Research Tracks

1. Agentic Systems & Workflow Automation: Understanding and automating end-to-end workflows and mental models.

2. Interfaces for Human-AI Collaboration: Design HCI interactions where AI doesn't just automate, it collaborates.

3. Personalization and Memory: Systems that learn from user corrections & preferences to evolve behavior over time.

4. AI Safety & Control Frameworks: Developing systematic tools and evals to ensure AI systems are aligned with human values and intentions.
