💻 Hackathon Events Recap

Self Evolving Agent Build Day – November 1st, 2025

On November 1, over 100 builders gathered at AGI House for the Self-Evolving Agent Build Day, a one-day sprint exploring how AI systems can learn, adapt, and evolve beyond static copilots.

🥇 EnableOS – The world’s first agentic browser built for accessibility. Its self-evolving agent learns from each user’s habits—via head tracking, voice, or text—to make web interaction seamless for all.
🥈 Refine – A Chrome extension that drafts personalized replies in Gmail and LinkedIn, fetching fresh, on-topic facts through Firecrawl and continuously learning your writing style with every edit.
🥉 Self-Evolving UI Agent – A UI-native agent that generates and adapts web application logic autonomously, merging business intelligence with real-time self-improvement.
⭐ Best Use of Weave: Arty – A self-learning cybersecurity orchestration agent that creates red-teaming tools on demand.
⭐ Funniest Project: CringeGPT – A reinforcement-learning stand-up comedian that uses live audience video feedback to time and evolve its next joke (and winner of the coveted $10 Red Lobster gift card).
