What’s this all about?

Join us for a full-day hackathon where developers, researchers, and entrepreneurs converge to explore the next frontier of autonomous systems — web-scale agents that browse, interpret, and act. This isn’t just about writing bots: it’s about designing agents that think, decide and execute across web contexts.

If you’ve built with LLMs, orchestrated workflows, or prototyped intelligent tooling — this is your playground.

Why web agents now?

The web is no longer just a data-source — it’s a space of active participation. Agents that can navigate the web, integrate tools, and take action are reshaping how we build apps, automate workflows, and interact with information. Whether it’s automating research, managing multi-step workflows, synthesizing insights, or executing actions — the possibilities are vast.

This hackathon invites you to push that boundary: build agents that understand web contexts, decide intelligently, and act effectively.

What we’re looking for

We’re open to a wide range of agent projects — here are some example tracks:

  • Web-navigation & automation: Agents that browse, query and act on the web (e.g., form-filling, multi-site orchestration).
  • Tool-chaining agents: Agents that sequence web-tools, APIs and user flows into autonomous workflows.
  • Context-aware web agents: Agents that interpret dynamic web data (e.g., live feeds, dashboards) and decide on actions.
  • Personal/assistant agents: Agents tailored for personal productivity or specialized tasks (e.g., research assistants, content creators, data-wranglers).
  • Augmented web-apps: Embedded agents that extend existing web-apps with autonomous capabilities (e.g., CRM automation, project-management bots).

Have a wild idea that doesn’t fit neatly here? Bring it. We welcome bold, experimental agent builds.

Who is this for?

This event is ideal if you:

  • Have built with LLMs, agent frameworks or web-tooling before.
  • Are comfortable prototyping under time pressure and demoing your work.
  • Are excited about agentic systems and want to collaborate, experiment and show something new.

Solo hackers, teams of 2–4, multi-discipline folks (dev + product + design) — all are welcome.

Prizes

1st: AirPods for each team member + $10K Redis credits + dinner with Redis startups team
2nd: Friend AI pendant for each member + $5K Redis credits
3rd: $5K Redis credits

RENDER is Over, but Camp is just beginning

We had some great speakers and participants turn out for Render, and we all got to participate in very interesting conversations. You can find recordings of all of our sessions below. If you're working on a Tool for Thinking and want to participate in our upcoming accelerator program, you can learn more here.

Welcome
with MC
12:10 PM – 12:20 PM
How Do We Define Tools for Thinking and Why Do They Matter?
Join Jerry Michalski and John Borthwick as they talk about their interest in tools for thinking, and what excites them the most about the future of the category.
12:20 PM – 12:50 PM
Inflection Points for Tools for Thinking
What are the key inflection points that will supercharge Tools for Thinking in the near future? How will new technologies, user metaphors, and funding models change how people build these tools? John Borthwick will be discussing how the landscape is changing with the co-founders of Readwise, Daniel Doyon & Tristan Homsi.
12:50 PM – 1:00 PM
Q+A
1:00 PM – 1:15 PM
Demo: Protocol Design for Tools for Thinking
Gordon Brander will be presenting a brief demo on Subconscious and the Noosphere, products he and his team are working on to allow Tools for Thinking to become interoperable and better connected.
1:15 PM – 2:00 PM
Lunch and Networking
2:00 PM – 2:45 PM
The History and Future of Software as Tools for Thinking
Some of the earliest examples of software explored by pioneers like Doug Engelbart, JCR Licklider, Alan Turing, and others were at their core technologies that help magnify, inspect, and spread our ideas. Jerry Michalski will be sitting down (virtually) with Howard Rheingold, author of Tools for Thought, to explore the history and future of "mind-amplifying technology".
2:45 PM – 3:00 PM
Q+A
3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Tools for Thinking Product Demos
We’ll hear from builders and thinkers deep in the space and get to take a look at what they’re working on. We’ll be checking out Plexus, Re:Collect, Jerry’s Brain, Subconscious and more. 
4:15 PM – 4:45 PM
Leveraging AI and ML in Building New Tools for Thinking
Alice Albrecht and Linus Lee will be sitting down with Chris Pedregal to discuss their work in leveraging AI and Machine Learning for creating new kinds of tools for thinking.
4:45 PM – 5:00 PM
Q+A
5:00 PM – 5:30 PM
Idea Dimensionality and Representing Semantic Meaning
How do ideas - and the human brains that make and hold them - interact?  Get prepared for meta! Esther Dyson and Jerry Michalski, will discuss the idea of how people work together to shape, compare, intertwine and ultimately produce multi-faceted ideas and multi-dimensional idea spaces.  As David Waltz (Thinking Machines) once said, “Words are not in themselves carriers of meaning, but merely pointers to shared understanding.” Watch and lob questions as the two of them try to build and share the idea of how better ideas can be developed through collaboration.
5:30 PM – 5:45 PM
Q+A
5:45 PM – 7:00 PM
Closing and Happy Hour
