OpenClaw 2.0 Hackathon: Build Your Startup's 'First Hire' Agent, Win a Trip to SF and Mac minis
steipete · x · 2026-09-26
The AI Worth Using Podcast and AgentCribs launched an OpenClaw 2.0 hackathon challenging builders to create an agent that fills a real startup role — an SDR, IR lead, or recruiter — using the new multiplayer mode, doing actual work rather than demos. Entries must be MIT-licensed, published to the Agent Index, and ranked by installs and token usage; the top five by Sept 30 go to GitHub co-founder Tom Preston-Werner and the AgentCribs community for judging. The winner gets flown to SF on Oct 6 to workshop the agent live, with two Mac minis also up for grabs. The podcast features OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger and Superpowers creator Jesse Vincent teaching Preston-Werner their tools.
