I'm incredibly excited to be hosting an Enterprise AI Agents Hack Day at Amazon Web Services (AWS) Builder Loft in San Francisco tomorrow.

Weaviate is obviously the vector search memory layer of choice for your enterprise AI Agents. LlamaIndex will be doing an exciting product launch for a nice new swagger tool that lets you build your AI Agents with ease in a visual editor. And FriendliAI is here to give you the power of fast and cheap inference with any open source model you can think of on Hugging Face which includes beefy highly performant models like GLM 4.6 on NVIDIA Blackwell Chips!

What are we doing exactly? We're building AI Agents for enterprise use cases that are going to disrupt the landscape of tech in various industries from healthcare intake forms & FAQ agents to Q&A Agents for HR and Internal Tools and even general enterprise intelligence platforms to empower people to do their best work. The morning starts out with a few short workshops showcasing the power behind LlamaIndex, CrewAI, and Weaviate. We build. And then we come back together for demos at the end of the day.

This is going to be a super fun event, with almost $2000 in prizes, and we've also got a great line up of judges who are YC Start Up founders, a data scientist from OpenAI, and more!

Grateful for the teams and people supporting this developer engagement and building for use cases that shape the future of how enterprises do business.

In 2025, I ran almost 100 developer events with 100–150 devs at each. HackerSquad grew to nearly 20,000 builders — shipping wild stuff every week. So many incredible companies participated in these events and I'm incredibly grateful for their support. These include (but are not limited to) Comet, WRITER, Tiger Data (creators of TimescaleDB), Neo4j, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Airweave (YC X25), CodeRabbit, Arize AI, Block, Diffbot, Daytona, FriendliAI, Fireworks AI, goodfin, LlamaIndex, Telnyx, Vapi, Unstructured, Wikimedia Foundation and so many more.

In 2026, I’m joining the builders. I’ll be building in public and releasing an app every two weeks — inspired by the devs I meet, the tech I see, and the problems I run into in my daily life. We'll also continue running tons of incredible developer engagements. If you're looking to get involved, DM me and fill out the contact form on HackerSquad by Developer Events --> https://hackersquad.io!

I've hosted nearly 100 events, tons of hack nights, and so many hackathon variations in 2025, I've been to many more, and 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬, I have a solution!

Most require emails collected days before. Then provisioning. Then half the room shows up without the right setup or never completed the form to get API Credits. And as a sponsor, you have zero visibility into who needs help or who's actually shipping with your tools unless you sit there with everyone who raises their hands.

I'm wiring OpenAI Codex directly into the HackerSquad Cloud IDE. Walk into a hack night this Thursday at Wordware (YC S24), open your browser, and Codex is already loaded with OpenClaw. No provisioning. No setup. No "did you install the extension?" Just straight to building.

This Thursday at the Wordware Beach House in SF, we're putting it to the test.

The challenge: build real interfaces on top of OpenClaw — an open-source AI agent runtime that lets LLMs manage files, automate browsers, and run shell commands. With Pete joining OpenAI recently, the OpenAI Codex + OpenClaw stack unlocks something you need to try for yourself.

Every builder in the room gets:
- OpenAI Codex preinstalled into every HackerSquad Cloud IDE
- CopilotKit to build the interface
- Jam.dev + Codex MCP to capture bugs and feed them straight to your agent
- Alibaba Group Wan Video Generation to create an ad for whatever you ship

4 PM doors. Final demos start after 8PM. Working code or nothing.

Thanks to Wordware for hosting at the Beach House. OpenAI for the credits. And all the sponsors for supporting this engagement.

Follow The Builders Collective and HackerSquad to join the community.

PS; I just became an OpenAI Codex Ambassador, and I'm going to bring Codex to every builder in the builder ecosystem around the globe.

PS2; My friends at Wordware are hiring! Show us what you build at Hack Night with Codex!
