How it works

Get Matched, Then Grow Your Team

  1. 01

    Get matched

  2. 02

    Work in pairs

  3. 03

    Teams of 3 or 4

  4. 04

    Teams of up to 6

Bring an idea: a research question, a proposal, an app or a website. You'll be matched with a collaborator, and teams grow through the day as projects merge.

You'll work in Kordi, an open-source app where people and their AI agents share the same conversations. No coding required. Bring a Mac laptop.

How to join

Two Steps to Take Part

Step 1

Request to attend on Luma

Register your interest in the event.

Step 2

Apply to participate

Tell us what you'd like to work on. The form includes a consent statement.

Nothing you enter in the hackathon's Kordi environment is kept after the event.

Hosted by the Loyal Agents initiative at the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, with the Kordi team.
