Agentic Hackathon: From Research to Commerce

From Research to Action: Agents That Discover, Verify & Transact

Build AI agents that can research, reason, use tools, verify information, and take action across real-world workflows.

Join us for a one-day builder hackathon at 42 Berlin. The hackathon is focused on two practical agent tracks: Research Agents and Agentic Commerce.

Capacity is limited to 100 builders. Food and drinks are included.

Partners

Nebius — a high-performance AI cloud platform for building and scaling modern AI systems

Tavily — a search and retrieval API designed for powering intelligent agents with real-time, verifiable web data

Some ideas on what to build:

agents that research and synthesize information from the web

agents that use tools and APIs to complete workflows

agents that support product discovery, comparison, and decision-making

agents that verify data before taking action

agents that connect research, recommendations, and transactions

agents that automate commercial or operational workflows

Tracks

Research Agents

Build agents that search, retrieve, evaluate, summarize, and reason over information. This track is a fit for use cases around web research, source discovery, market intelligence, due diligence, monitoring, knowledge workflows, and verified research pipelines.

Agentic Commerce

Build agents that discover products or services, compare options, verify information, and support transactions or commercial workflows. This track is a fit for use cases around product discovery, shopping agents, marketplace automation, price comparison, procurement, MCP-based commerce workflows, and agentic payments.

Partner challenges, prizes, and technical resources will be announced shortly as partners are being confirmed.
