About Hermes Hackathon
A time-bound hackathon focused on building functional Hermes agents that perform real-world tasks rather than demos. Participants must create an agent that solves an actual chore end-to-end, publish it as MIT-licensed software in the AI Worth Using Agent Index, and drive real user adoption. Agents are ranked by install counts and token usage reported through the AI Worth Using client. The top performers at a specified snapshot date receive prizes and potential podcast interviews. The event encourages collaboration with tools like Plow Latch for browser and app control and the hermes-plugin-plow for agent communication. All submissions must comply with event rules, including public availability and usage tracking via the AI Worth Using client.
