Agents, Everywhere: Bots, Channels, & More - Global Hackathon
A global hackathon with OpenAI
On Saturday, September 12, AI Tinkerers cities around the world are joining one shared build day.

Build an agent for a place people already work, talk, & live, then make it meaningfully more useful because of that context.

Event details
Date: Saturday, September 12, 2026
Time: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. local time
Location: Shared upon acceptance
Format: Focused local build day, connected to one global challenge
Food & drinks: Provided
The challenge
Most agents still wait inside a separate chat window. This build day starts from a different premise: the most useful agents will show up inside the tools, channels, devices, & environments where people already have work to do.

Build a working agent that belongs somewhere new.

Your project might live:

At work: Slack, Teams, email, documents, calendars, tickets, support, or live collaboration
In your pocket: messaging, mobile, notifications, & short asynchronous moments
On the web: browsers & software where an agent can research, navigate, transact, or take action
In the room: voice, vision, wearables, robotics, & other physical-world interfaces
These are examples, not separate tracks. Every team around the world enters the same global submission pool.

Your build stack
OpenAI & the event partners will provide shared starter materials, technical resources, & builder credits/offers where available. We will share the final starter repo & access details ahead of the event.

You do not need to use every tool in the stack. Choose the resources that make your idea better & make the technical choices that fit the project.

More starter materials, technical resources, sponsor offers, & event details will be added to this page as they are finalized.
