We're bringing together engineers, founders, builders, & investors for an evening of agentic commerce, live demos, & building with the Ophelia API.
Ophelia gives consumer software the infrastructure to search, book, buy, & transact end-to-end directly inside the products, agents, & devices people already use.
Let a wearable turn find me a workout into a booked class
Create a new interface for commerce that doesn't look like a checkout page
Or build something we haven't imagined yet
THE HACK CHALLENGE
Use the Ophelia API to build a product, feature, agent, or experience that turns intent into a real transaction.
We're especially interested in what happens when commerce moves inside the products, agents, devices, & interfaces people already use.
Available commerce categories include:
Restaurants & reservations
Flights & travel
Hotels
Events & tickets
Fitness & classes
and thousands of other services with Ophelia V3
PLEASE COME WITH PRODUCT OR DEMO ALREADY BUILT.
We strongly encourage you to build beyond a chatbot or general-purpose AI assistant.
THE NIGHT
6:00 PM: Check-in + drinks
Meet other NYC builders, grab a drink, get set up, & meet the Ophelia team.

We'll give you a quick walkthrough of the API, what you can build, & how to get started.
6:45 PM: DEMOS

Show us the actual customer experience not just a pitch.
8:00 PM: JUDGING + WINNER
Both the audience & our team will select one winning builder or team based on the quality of the build, creativity of the experience, & how compellingly it demonstrates the future of agentic commerce.
8:30 PM: WINNER + AFTERPARTY
Announce the winner, celebrate, & keep the conversations going.

ABOUT OPHELIA
Ophelia enables consumer software to build commerce directly into their products.
Our API infrastructure powers end-to-end booking & buying for AI agents, iOS platforms, & devices from intent to purchase.
Today, every merchant has its own website, booking flow, authentication, payment system, & operational requirements.
Ophelia connects these fragmented systems through one integration, allowing software to parse availability, initiate checkout, process payments, & complete transactions directly within the products people already use.
3.8M+ users are already routed through Ophelia-powered products.
Built for platforms. Made for people.
