Handbook
Agents with Superpowers: Context Engineering Hackathon w/ Redis & Composio
Presented by AI Tinkerers
Welcome
Welcome to the Agents with Superpowers Hackathon, where we’ll explore the frontier of context engineering — giving AI agents memory, awareness, and the ability to act with intent.
Today you’ll build alongside some of the sharpest minds in the AI Tinkerers network: engineers, researchers, and founders who live to ship real systems.
This isn’t a competition of ideas — it’s a celebration of working code. You’ll have one day to form a team, design something remarkable, and demo it live to the community.
Redis and Composio are here to unlock your creativity:
- Redis for blazing-fast state, caching, and vector memory
- Composio for orchestrating agent actions across apps and APIs
- At the end of the day, we want to see agents that observe, remember, and act.
Rules & Eligibility
Build new work
- All submissions must be net new code or functionality created during this hackathon.
- You can extend an existing repo or prototype if you build substantial new features here.
- Pre-built products or previously completed projects are not eligible.
Team composition
- 2–5 people per team recommended (solo builders allowed).
- Cross-disciplinary collaboration is encouraged — mix ML, backend, frontend, and product thinkers.
Required stack elements
- Your project must meaningfully incorporate Redis in some way.
- Other frameworks and APIs welcome, but Redis + Composio are the anchor technologies.
Ownership & rights
- You retain full IP rights to your code.
- By demoing, you grant AI Tinkerers permission to include footage or screenshots in recap content.
Demos only — no decks
- You’ll have 3 minutes to show a working demo, followed by brief Q&A.
- Slides and marketing pitches are not permitted.
- Fair play & professionalism.
- Respect others’ work and time.
- Collaborate openly, credit teammates, and uphold the builder-first ethos.
Making the Most of Your Day
Start small, scale smart
- Focus on a core demo that works end-to-end — you can always polish later.
Connect early - Talk to mentors and other teams about your concept. They can point you toward lesser-known features or shortcuts that save hours.
Document as you go - Record quick screen clips, capture commits, or jot notes — they’ll make your demo smoother and help judges follow your logic.
Test live - If your demo needs an API key, model endpoint, or webhook, test it on a clean restart before you present.
Be generous - Share what you learn with other teams. Many of the best hacks come from spontaneous hallway debugging sessions.

General Tools
- GitHub org or public repo for submission
- LLM frameworks welcome (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.)
- Ask mentors for integration support — they’re here to help you debug, not judge.
Community Support
- Mentors roaming throughout the day
- AI Tinkerers organizers on Hackathon Message Board for tech or logistics help
- Bring your own power adapter, charger, and caffeine source
Code of Conduct
AI Tinkerers events are collaborative, inclusive, and strictly professional.
To keep it that way:
- Treat everyone with respect — zero tolerance for harassment or discrimination.
- Respect confidentiality; don’t share code, screenshots, or recordings without consent.
- No recruiting, selling, or pitching.
- Keep all demos safe for public sharing.
- Report any issues to an organizer immediately.
Violation of these rules may result in removal or disqualification.
After the Hack
Submit your project:
- Upload your code to GitHub (public or private with access granted to judges).
- Include a short README describing what you built and how Redis + Composio are used.
- Submit via this portal, complete as many sections of the submission as possible for more accurate judging
Stay connected:
- Follow @AITinkerers, @Redisinc, and @Composio for post-event highlights.
- Join your local AI Tinkerers chapter for upcoming hackathons and meetups.
- Keep building — many top projects go on to production or open-source fame.
Remember:
This is about exploration, not perfection. What you build today might be the start of your next big thing.
