An AI hackathon with a twist! Build AI agents, skills, tools, or mini-projects, put them up for sale, and use virtual money to buy creations from other participants.
Discover what others have built, negotiate deals, trade capabilities, and combine your purchases with your own creation to build something bigger and better.
It's not just about building AI. It's about creating value others want!
The Challenge
Build something people want to buy. Then buy what others have built to create something amazing!
Everyone starts with virtual money and enters a shared marketplace.
Publish your agents, skills, tools, or mini-projects.
Set your own prices.
Explore, test, and compare other people's creations.
Chat, negotiate, buy, sell, and barter.
Combine what you build with what you buy to create a final project.
Ten people might build the same skill. Who builds the best one? Who prices it right? Who gets the most buyers?
