$100 in credits for everyone. $1000 in prizes for the winners!
Join us for Battle of the Personal Brains, a 5 hour hands-on AI hackathon where you'll build an intelligent personal agent powered by your own data, live information, & create an agentic workflow to take action, all under one roof at the Web Data Loft in SOMA.
Build the personal AI agent you've always wanted.
In today's world, it's possible for an AI agent to know what you know - your emails, your documents, meetings, calendar, tasks, files, & other information that's relevant to you - & then act on it.
For this hackathon, the challenge is simple: Build a brain. Build an agent. Then make it do something.
Event Details
When: 4:00 PM - 9:00 PM, Monday September 21, 2026
Where: Web Data Loft, San Francisco, CA
First, Build your Personal Brain
Your agent is only as useful as the information it can understand. So you'll create an AI-powered brain that can combine knowledge from multiple sources:
Your laptop & local files
Google Drive & cloud documents
Personal email & other data sources
Public information from across the web
Meeting notes, receipts, photos, schedules, & more
You'll use Cognee's structured AI memory to create your Personal Brain, & Bright Data to discover & retrieve public web data.
Then, Build your Agent
Once your agent can access the right knowledge, the real fun begins. Build an agent that can find information, reason across it, & take action.
Your agent could:
Manage your calendar - Find availability & schedule an appointment automatically.
Take notes & remind you later - Capture information & send a reminder exactly when you need it.
Turn meetings into action - Read meeting summaries, identify commitments & action items, & build your personal to-do schedule.
Handle your expenses - Process receipts, extract the important information, organize them, & prepare expense reports.
Organize & share your photos - Process photos, upload them to Google Photos, organize them, & share them with your WhatsApp group.
Build your own personal assistant - Create an agent that understands your information, remembers what's important, & helps you get things done.
Connect your digital life - Connect to apps & services you use every day, read through information, create notes, identify what matters, & remind you when action is required.
Or build something completely different.
Your brain. Your agent. Your idea.
The Agentic Stack
We'll provide technologies you can combine to build your agent:
Cognee - The Brain - Create long-term AI memory & a Personal Brain that your agent can search, understand, & reason over. Get $50 of Cognee Cloud Credits.
Bright Data - The Web - Give your agent access to fresh public information from across the web. Get $50 of Bright Data Credits.
Your Data - The Personal Brain - Bring your own files & information from your laptop, Google Drive, & other sources.
AWS Strands Agents - The Agent Harness - Build & orchestrate the agent that reasons, uses tools, & decides what to do next.
Docker Sandboxes - The Sandbox - Give your agent a secure environment where it can run code & perform tasks.
Together, these technologies give your agent something increasingly important:
Data + Memory + Reasoning + Tools + Actions
The Battle
This isn't just about building another chatbot. We're looking for agents that can understand information & then accomplish something useful.
At the end of the hackathon, each team will demonstrate what their agents can do. Will it remember better? Find better information? Reason across personal, company, & public data? Can it take useful actions?
But most importantly: Can your brain beat the other brains?
Who Should Attend?
Developers, AI engineers, agent builders, hackers, founders, students, & anyone interested in building the next generation of personal AI agents. You don't need to arrive with a finished idea. Come with a laptop, some curiosity, & a problem you'd love an AI agent to solve. We'll help you build the rest.
