We’re bringing together engineers, founders, builders, and investors for an evening of agentic commerce, live demos, and building with the Ophelia API.
Ophelia gives consumer software the infrastructure to search, book, buy, and transact end-to-end directly inside the products, agents, and devices people already use.
- Let a wearable turn “find me a workout” into a booked class
- Create a new interface for commerce that doesn’t look like a checkout page
- Or build something we haven’t imagined yet
THE HACK CHALLENGE
Use the Ophelia API to build a product, feature, agent, or experience that turns intent into a real transaction.
We’re especially interested in what happens when commerce moves inside the products, agents, devices, and interfaces people already use.
Available commerce categories include:
🍽️ Restaurants & reservations
✈️ Flights & travel
🏨 Hotels
🎟️ Events & tickets
🏋️ Fitness & classes
…and thousands of other services with Ophelia V3
We strongly encourage you to build beyond a chatbot or general-purpose AI assistant.
