OPEN AGENTATHON - Build your own AI agent

You quickly develop an AI agent with which you can chat. The agent calls up functions and executes them. At the end, you share a link to the agent and show it in a pitch. Fancy developing together, experimenting and bringing ideas to life?

On 17 November 2025, the first OPEN AGENTATHON will be launched by the Future Lab Generative AI of KI.SH together with the Lausitz Science Park of BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg. The aim is to develop a fully functional AI agent in a short space of time that not only chats, but can also call up and execute functions. At the end, all agents will be presented in a 3-minute pitch including a live demo.
