Build It Anyway: Signal Hunt with Apify | SF Tech Week Hackathon for Non-Technical Builders

No code, no problem. Build an AI agent that finds what matters on the web.

One day, zero code, and you leave with a working AI agent that does the boring part of your job for you.

🙋 IS THIS YOU?

• A founder juggling first sales leads while keeping an eye on competitors
• In sales, stuck scrolling LinkedIn by hand looking for buying signals
• In GTM and want warm leads, not another cold list
• A marketer trying to keep up with competitor posts and rising creators
• Running an e-commerce brand and want to know the moment a competitor drops prices or gets bad reviews

If any of that sounds familiar, come build with us. Never written a line of code? Even better, we made this for you.
