Kickoff
summary
Open Agents kicks off with clear rules: hacking begins now and submissions due Sunday, May 3rd at 12 PM Eastern, teams are limited to teams of up to five, and everything must be built from scratch with an auditable Git history (no mega-commits). Judging splits into asynchronous partner reviews and a live finalist Zoom (top 10), AI agent use is allowed but must be attributed and committed incrementally, and the event awards $50,000 in prizes with a required 4-minute demo video.
