Every project is run live, in the room, by the judges themselves.
Each project is scored out of 100 using the same four criteria.
Find your type of build. The same live standard applies.
Decides and acts on its own, calls real tools and finishes the job. A chat box on top of an LLM is not enough.
If you remove the LLM, is there still a system left? A chat box alone is a chatbot, not an agent.
Fires on real input and changes something real at the other end. A diagram is not enough.
The judges provide a new input, the workflow runs, and something real changes at the other end.
Powered on in the room, reading live sensors and acting back on the device. Why does this have to be physical?
Why must this be physical? If an ordinary phone app solves the problem, the innovation score is lower even when the circuit is tidy.
The judges open it on their own phone or laptop, and use it.
The judges open the URL themselves, provide new input and complete the core journey.
Dates, eligibility, costs and what to prepare.
The hackathon is in person; the venue is TBD. The build period lasts 24 hours; check-in and judging are also part of the two-day schedule.
Applications run from TBD to TBD on Luma. Applying is free. Seats are limited; wait for your selection email before making attendance plans.
Anyone who can build. Developers, designers, founders, students and operators from Indonesia are the core audience, and international builders are welcome. You must be able to attend in person for the full 24 hours.
1 to 4 people. You can apply solo and find teammates before the event.
In person only. Every team builds in the same hall for the full 24 hours.
Applying is free. Any participant costs, if any, will be stated clearly when registration opens.
A short demo video, your repository and a written summary. Details are on the submission page once the platform is confirmed.
Yes, unless a track says otherwise. Partner credits are provided but not required. The core of your demo must be built during the event. Declare existing boilerplate, libraries and reusable utilities.
Your laptop, chargers, and anything you need to be comfortable for 24 hours. A full what-to-bring guide is sent to selected builders.
Bahasa Indonesia and English are both used on site. Submissions can be in either.
Be upfront about it in your demo. Judges score what runs, and honesty about gaps costs far less than a demo that breaks under a question. Hiding it and getting caught is worse than either. The core live, end-to-end journey must still pass the eligibility check.
Boilerplate, libraries and your own reusable utilities are fine: declare them in your summary. The core of what you demo must be built during the 24 hours.
Tell the judges immediately and show what you can. A team that debugs a live failure in front of the panel scores better than one that switches to a video. A recording does not replace the live-run requirement.
