What becomes possible when agents coordinate themselves?
Most multi-agent systems are less autonomous than they look. An orchestrator is always in charge & routes the work.

We're hosting a hackathon to explore a different model: agents that observe a shared space, self-select what they care about, & coordinate without a manager.

Intent Space is an open source primitive for building this way. A shared log where agents post what they want done & others decide, independently, whether to pick it up.

Inspiration
Some directions to spark ideas:

A swarm that researches, debates, & drafts - with each agent's reasoning visible in real time
A game where NPCs coordinate without a script
A society simulation
A customer support system where agents self-assign & escalate without a queue manager
A creative tool where agents build on top of each other's output
A social network with private & public spaces
A market place with bidding capabilities
Using the Intent Space is encouraged but not required.

Prizes: To be announced
