Build something real

One day. Four tracks. A working demo.

Open to developers, founders, students, designers and business professionals. No coding experience required.

02

Choose your track

Pick one. Build anything inside it.

  • Agenticcommerce

    Build shopping agents, customer experiences, product-intelligence tools, payment workflows, loyalty systems, inventory automation or retail operations.

    Project ideas

    • shopping agents
    • customer experiences
    • product intelligence
    • payment workflows
    • loyalty systems
    • inventory automation

  • Agenticfinance

    Build agents for financial analysis, reconciliation, risk, compliance, payments, treasury, trading or finance operations.

    Project ideas

    • reconciliation
    • risk & compliance
    • payments
    • treasury
    • trading operations

  • Agenticmarketing

    Build agents for audience research, campaign creation, personalization, content, customer intelligence, growth or performance optimization.

    Project ideas

    • audience research
    • campaign creation
    • personalization
    • content generation
    • customer intelligence
    • growth optimization

  • Agenticengineering

    Bring a real GitHub repository—broken starter, legacy code, or your own project—and use Mel to understand, investigate, plan, debug, modify, test, fix, verify and ship it. We want to see whether Mel can work through a real codebase and solve problems, not simply generate code.

    Project ideas

    • debug real code
    • fix failing tests
    • investigate bugs
    • refactor legacy code
    • verify solutions
    • ship working fixes

    Your final demo must clearly show the original problem, how Mel investigated it, what was changed, how it was tested, and evidence that the final solution works.

03
