Saturday, Jan. 24th | Cubo Itaú | Application Required
Join us in São Paulo for a focused, in-person hackathon to build AI agents.
We’re bringing together 100 ambitious engineers from across Brazil to spend a day hacking on agents across modalities — email, voice, messaging, and more — with live demos, prizes, and a direct bridge into the San Francisco AI ecosystem via Puentes by Antigravity.
Capacity is limited; applications are required.
Who Should ApplyThis is for you if you’ve shipped agents, tools, or you can show relevant repos and side projects. This hackathon is a way for you to connect with the scene in San Francisco and other ambitious engineers in Brazil.
What to ExpectDoors open at 9 am Saturday.
Kickoff talks start at 9:30 with team formation taking place immediately after.
We will have a focused 10-hour build sprint fueled by food and coffee.
Building ends at 6:30pm, followed immediately by demos.
Winners to be announced at 8pm, Saturday
PrizesFirst: $2,000 USD

This hackathon is organized by Puentes by Antigravity and Carecode.
Puentes is a curated one-week program in San Francisco to bridge the best talent in Latin America to the city. Antigravity is an AI-native seed fund in San Francisco.
Carecode: the growth engine for modern hospitals and clinics.
Selection & Format-
Application-based: we review on a rolling basis.
-
Teams of up to 4 are welcome; solo builders can form teams on site.
-
In-person demoing is mandatory for all accepted participants.
If accepted, you’ll have a 48-hour window to confirm your spot. If you can’t commit to being there, please don’t block a seat.
Sponsors LogisticsBring your laptop and charger. Final venue details will be shared with accepted attendees.
Why This Weekend ExistsBrazil has serious talent, but most of the action still feels “somewhere else.” This weekend is a small step toward fixing that:
-
A room of the best engineers
-
Real products shipped in 10 hours
-
A direct bridge into an ecosystem that usually lives in San Francisco
Requirements
Presentations will be 2 minutes total. Our priority is to understand how the project works, so we expect your presentations to be easy to follow. You’re welcome to use slides to help explain your idea, but we prefer to see the product in action—ideally, its value should be self-explanatory.
You should submit a GitHub repo with your project, along with a pre-recorded video walkthrough of your product. (Due to the auditorium setup, we can’t connect laptops for live demos, so the video will play while you present and narrate live.)
