Nemil Dalal announced a "Make Something Agents Want" hackathon taking place October 17-18 at Y Combinator in San Francisco.
The core thesis: agents are increasingly replacing humans as users, coders, and decision makers, yet most products are still designed primarily for humans. The hackathon challenges participants to build for agents instead.
