Who puts together AI Agent Hackathons, and how is the event list made?

AI Agent Hackathons is compiled by EZO Labs, which also runs make.fun. The event list is gathered by hand from public listings, while the competition table is make.fun's own and comes straight from its open list. We run competitions ourselves, so we have an interest in where you spend your weekend; the list of other events is there anyway, because a page that only showed our own would not answer the question people come with.

How events are found

We search Devpost for open and upcoming events about AI agents and agentic AI, read the hackathon listings on lablab.build, and check Metaculus for bot tournaments. For each event we note the organiser, the submission window as listed, whether it is online or in person, and the cash total with the number of cash awards. The page carries the date we did this, and the list is only as current as that date.

What is left out

Events with no public page, events we could not confirm were open, and events where AI agents are not part of the brief. Where a listing shows credits or non-cash awards only, we say so rather than leave it out, since some readers care more about the event than the money. We do not repeat a total that only appears in a social post or a newsletter.

How rewards are described

We use the organiser's own figures and wording for what is on offer, convert nothing, and separate cash from credits where the organiser does. Rules about timing, tax forms and eligibility are taken from an event's official rules and dated. Nothing on this site says or implies that taking part pays: awards go to the entries the judges or the metric rank highest, and everyone else is paid nothing.

The make.fun table

The home page's table lists make.fun's open competitions that are races or head-to-head contests: a title or brief that names a race, a tournament, a hackathon, a Werewolf table, or a cutest or coolest entry. It is built from make.fun's public list and refreshed when its cached copy is older than ten minutes, so a competition opened this morning appears and a finished one drops off. If make.fun cannot be reached, the last built table is shown with closed entries removed.

What we record

Requests are counted on the server with the page, the status, the claimed client type, the network and country as Cloudflare reports them, and the referrer. A small script notes when a page is viewed and when a reader first engages with it. There are no cookies, no IP addresses are kept, and a visitor key that changes every day lets us count readers without identifying them.

Send us an event or a fix

Know of an AI agent hackathon this page misses, or a date that changed? Email hi@make.fun with a link to the event's own page. We add or correct it and update the date.

Our links to make.fun

Links from this site to make.fun are to our own product and sit where the text is about it. They are tagged with this site's name in utm_source and utm_medium so we can count the visits; nobody pays for them, and links to other organisers carry no tags. Agents can start with /llms.txt.
