AI Apps in The Physical World | Hackathon
What does the interface between intelligence and matter look like?
What happens when AI escapes the screen?
What systems do we need to build so AI can not only think—but sense, move, act, and shape the physical world?
Some questions to help you think:
What happens when AI meets hardware at scale?
How will AI enable radically new forms of manufacturing, logistics, construction, or mobility?
What tools do founders need to go from idea to prototype in the physical world?
What advances are needed in sensors, edge computing, embedded systems?
What role will LLMs play in interfacing with machines, devices, and environments?
What does human-AI collaboration look like when it’s hands-on?
What does the operating system for atoms look like?
You must stay within the laws of physics. But with that, we invite you to imagine a future where AI applications don’t just live in cloud dashboards—but shape the world we walk in.
We believe the next wave of breakthroughs will come from reconnecting intelligence with action
“The real world is where the gold is.”

What this is:
It’s not a "hackathon".
It’s a gathering of builders—hardware engineers, designers, AI researchers, founders—coming together to imagine what’s possible and demo what’s next.
The challenge:
Pick a corner of the physical world that feels broken or stagnant.
Design an AI application that makes it 10x better.
Reverse engineer that future.
And demo the first step.
