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.

Resources & Support

Redis

Composio

  • Docs: docs.composio.dev
  • SDKs: Python + JavaScript
  • Use cases: multi-app automation, tool orchestration, multi-agent coordination

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.
