What to expect:
The event begins with a one-hour workshop to get everyone up to speed on the tools, patterns, and capabilities available. After that, you’ll have four focused hours of hacking time to create your agent, refine your idea, and demo your project to the judging panel. The day will conclude with judging and an awards ceremony.
This hackathon is designed for attendees who want hands-on experience with the tools, an opportunity to prototype an agentic workflow, and in-person guidance from InterSystems experts.
Technical experience:
As a hands-on hackathon, we would ask that entrants have some technical experience using InterSystems products, writing code and basic knowledge of generative AI. There will be a technical workshop to bring everyone up to speed beyond these requirements.
