Team size
1–3 people per project — solo or a small team, small enough to ship in a day.
For hackers
How to hack this day
Rules, agenda, judging, guidelines, and optional idea sparks — build whatever you want.
Why we run this
A one-day sprint to ship something real with Grok Bot and the tech partner tools. Cursor works too — not a polished startup, a working demo the same day.
Rules
Eligibility for the day. Keep the team small, ship in the open, and show a live demo plus a short video.
Open source
The repository must be public / open source.
What counts
You may start from a pre-existing project, but only what you build during the hackathon is judged — demo the new work.
Live demo
A deployed version of the app is required — a public live URL.
Video demo
A short video demo showing the product is required.
Agenda
One full day in Belgrade. Times are local.

Judging & winners
Judging happens after the event. Winners are announced on 19 September — about one week later. Innovation comes first.
- 01
Innovation (primary)
Originality of the idea and creative use of agents / partner tools.
- 02
Working product
Live URL + video that clearly show what was built.
- 03
Problem & solution clarity
Judges understand the story quickly.
- 04
Execution
Quality of the happy path shipped during the event.
- 05
Impact potential
Useful beyond the weekend.
Guidelines
- 01
Check the Stack
See what each tech partner is for before you start building.
- 02
Consult mentors
Ask early when you stall — product, GTM, or the stack.
- 03
Build in Grok Bot
The host editor for this hackathon. Agents, rules, and MCPs live here — Cursor works too.
- 04
Use partner MCPs
Wire the tools in Grok Bot (or Cursor). Do not rebuild what tech partners already give you.
- 05
Host the repo publicly
Put the project somewhere public — GitHub, Origin, or another platform — so the team and judges can find it.
- 06
Deploy a live demo
Ship a deployed app with a public URL. Judges need a live link, not localhost.
- 07
Build a 3-minute demo
One problem, one happy path, one short story. That is what judges watch.
- 08
Submit through the form
Open the submission form when you are checked in. Deadline is 7 PM — you can update your entry earlier the same day.

Idea sparks
You can build whatever you want. These three verticals are optional suggestions if you do not already have an idea — not required tracks.
FinTech agents
Autonomous agents that execute payments and transactions for you — on blockchain or traditional financial rails.
Gaming, visual & art
AI that helps create, play, or experience games, visuals, and art.
Personal assistant
A helpful assistant with strong UX — look up flights, plan your day, and talk by voice.
