AI Agent Hackathon

Brought to you by Gravity

Being part of Revved means more than just a one-day hit of inspiration — it’s a year-round membership to a business community built for momentum. With monthly events, workshops, and high-impact collisions, we’re here to enrich powerful minds through real, human connection, learning, and action.

This next learning opportunity couldn’t wait — so we’re bringing it to you now.

Join us for the Revved AI Agent Hackathon — a high-energy, in-person workshop designed to get you building with AI in real time. Over three hours, you’ll go from concept to working prototype — guided by Eoghan Neligan of Gravity, surrounded by curious, ambitious peers, and powered by the kind of live energy only Revved delivers.

We’re cutting through the AI hype and bullshit to bring you real-world tools, tangible use cases, and the kind of clarity that keeps your business moving forward — not stuck in the noise.

What’s an AI Agent, Anyway?

An AI agent is a tool that can process information, make decisions, or automate tasks — powered by models like GPT or custom machine learning.

Examples include:

A chatbot that answers internal FAQs

A smart inbox that flags your most urgent messages

A tool that scans contracts for risk language

At the hackathon, you’ll work in small groups to prototype a simple, practical agent with expert support, and walk away with a clear sense of what’s possible next.
