Last week, Craft hosted its second #HackAIthon – this year we focused on AI Agents. 100 hackers descended on SF and spent 2 days hacking and building extraordinarily creative and functionally impressive agents. 🏆 Grand Prize went to Piergiuseppe Mallozzi who built #CloudShield, which leverages the power of LLM agents to autonomously find cybersecurity vulnerabilities dynamically and suggests ways to patch them. This was built using crewAI. Our two Runners Up were: 🥈 #Weave, by Girri M Palaniyapan and Muthhukumar Malaiiyyappan, an AI-powered content consultant that transforms rough ideas into polished, publishable content across various formats in minutes. 🥈 #Astra, by Eunice Tan, Mingjun Lim, Mingyi Lim, and Alvin Ryanputra, an autonomous, promptless AI secretary that helps friends coordinate group activities. Huge thanks to our judges: Michele Catasta Beyang Liu, João (Joe) Moura, Natalie Staudacher, Ankur Goyal, and Priyaa K (our 2023 hackathon winner!), Aditi Joshi, Adnaan Sachidanandan, Alex Reibman, Bob Remeika, Braden Ream, Claire Xie, Daniel M., Dre Olgiati, Eric Brownrout, Jenny Sui, Kevin Gabura, Matthew Rastovac, Ming Lu, Mrinal Wadhwa, Pedro T., Praveena Dhanalakota, Ryan Cunningham, Ryan Hrabak, Sanjari Srivastava, Saqib Muhammad, Sean Whitney, Taranjeet Singh, Vanessa Yan, Vivek Gangasani, and Yada Pruksachatkun. We couldn't have done it without you! Plus we welcomed dozens of partners who offered access, credits, mentorship, swag, and helped spread the word - they are tagged in the comments, since Linkedin limits post mentions. The event was electric and we can't thank our hackers, mentors, and judges enough for joining us!

Always wanted to experiment with building an embded ai agent that could determine when it runs rather than have the user trigger it. So we built Astra, an AI agent that lives in your group chat and helps you manage group reservations. https://lnkd.in/dHq6n4-p Had lots of fun building and also watching all the cool agents being built by others 🤖 But honestly the most fun part was reading Astra's thoughts while it was monitoring our group chat. 🫢 "AgentThought: Alvin's message seems confrontational. I should reply in a calm and collected manner to diffuse tension" Shoutout to my A star teammates Mingjun Lim Mingyi Lim Alvin Ryanputra & MooseyBot Special thanks to Craft Ventures for organizing this event and to The New Club for sharing it with me!

✨ We had a great time partnering with our friends from Craft Ventures on their #HackAIthon last week. This 2-day event brought together some of the top devs, engineers, coders, and hackers to focus on building AI agents. 🏆 Plus, The New Club member Eunice Tan and her team won 2nd place for building Astra, an AI agent that lives in your group chat and helps you make group reservations. 📱 Astra gathers context from the group messages and decides when to chime in, prompting group members for more information, making online reservations, calling restaurants to request reservations, and more! A huge congratulations to Eunice and her team 👏 Interested in more events like this? Join The New Club members only network for Women in Engineering. 🔗 Sign up at the link in comments below!

The New Club summit last weekend for me was a day of connection, inspiration and fun! My top takeaways to share with y’all- 1. Be a part of community that propels you forward. I am so grateful to be part of this community of investors, entrepreneurs and technologists navigating the long term career journey with a conviction in the idea of change. 2. One of my fav quotes - Strategy without execution is just Hallucination. There are remarkable opportunities with complex problems to be solved around us with tech; be it in the food sector, transportation and emissions, fraud detection, infrastructure and consumer high growth areas. 3. Find your Ikigai. What are you uniquely positioned to do? Take control and design your life and define what success looks like for you. Play chess and wonder with tech and life :)

We're glad to have so many industry leaders convene to build new relationships, discuss the latest advancements in technology, and build the future of #AI, #Climate, #web3 and more together. 👏 Shout-out to our speakers, Hannah Sieber of Artyc, Ann Bordetsky of New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Garima Sahai of Cambiar Education, Claire Hough of Getlabs, Caitlin Colgrove of Hex, Mengmeng Chen of Gather, Nmachi Jidenma of General Catalyst, Natalie Sandman of Spark Capital, Susan Liu of Uncork Capital; our presenters Tinah Hong, Niki Aggarwal, Priyaa K and Purvanshi Mehta, Lindsay Weissman, Mai Akiyoshi, and Mariale Montenegro; and engineering leader and coach Agata Grzybek. 👏 And thank you to our sponsors Gunderson Dettmer, Stifel Bank, Uncork Capital, Hex, Gather, Coframe, and Kindred. 💬 More insights to come from this event and more.
