# One rule - don't build UIs.

Date: Saturday June 21, 2025
Location: Completely virtual - join from anywhere
Timing: 8 hour hackathon with kick off at 8am PST
Teams are welcome: max of 3 hackers per team

Focus
What will the internet look like after traditional UI becomes obsolete?
How will users interact with websites when there's no deterministic buttons but instead, apps that interpret user intent and respond dynamically?

How will we add and access information that can provide context to agents and embedded LLMs for personalization?

What do generative and customized digital experiences look and feel like — how does audio, video, text, and other media elements blend together to represent a post-UI internet?

Details
Cosponsored by Windsurf and some other really cool startups, join this virtual challenge to build the future of digital interaction. Play around with UI-less interfaces, voice and text interactions, generative / dynamic experiences, and the power of conversations over dashboards.

Get penalized if you build traditional UIs, everything is free game.
