About this event

✨ Agent Glow Up Hackathon Hosted by Sylph × Google Gemini | Powered by Build Club 1 day Hackathon · San Francisco 💅 📍 Venue: TBC 💄 The Mission: Make Beautiful Agents AI agents are powerful, but most of them aren't pleasant to use. Agent Glow Up is an IRL hackathon for top-tier technical talent in SF. The goal is simple: Build thoughtful, end-to-end agent applications that look as good as they think. We are looking for Agentic UI—dynamic dashboards, generative interfaces, and creative tools. If you love shipping under pressure and care about design systems as much as backend logic, this is for you. 🛠️ The Superpower: Build with AdaL This hackathon runs on AdaL, the local-first coding agent built by Sylph AI. It bridges the gap between technical logic and visual design: 1. One Agent, Two Interfaces 🖥️ AdaL CLI (For Developers): The most comfortable coding agent interface. 🌐 AdaL Web (For Everyone): Visual interface for non-technical users. 2. The Best Design Engineer 🎨 Design with Gemini 3 Pro: Use Gemini's multimodal capabilities for visual reasoning, wireframing, and UI patterns. 🔧 Code with Claude Opus 4.5: Use the latest Claude Opus 4.5 for deep architectural integrity, React implementation, and refactoring. Switch "brains" mid-conversation with /model to match the task 🏆 The Challenge Theme: Agent-Powered Applications (User-Facing) Judging Criteria: ✨ Aesthetics: Usability and interface quality (No lazy chatbots!). 🧠 Intelligence: Agent design and orchestration. ⚙️ Reliability: Clarity of workflows and end-to-end stability. 🧰 The Stack & Partners Bring your own stack, or build with our partner ecosystem to win specific category prizes: Core: Sylph AI (Creators of AdaL) + Google Gemini (Models) Integrations: Composio Web & Data: Exa, Browserbase Voice/Realtime: Pipekit, Daily, Smallest AI Backend & State: Convex Compute: GMI Cloud Email: Resend 🎁 Prizes & Perks 💸 Cash Prize for the winning team. ☁️ Credits (API and Platform) from sponsors. 📣 Demo Exposure across Build Club (50k+ builders) and Sylph channels. ☕ Fuel: Coffee, meals, and snacks provided throughout the day.
