Virtual Hackathon · May 1–3, 2026
Remy Builds
Hackathon
Turn your best idea into a real product.
No coding experience needed.
About Remy
Remy is a product agent. Where coding agents generate code from prompts, Remy works with you to write a complete spec, the source of truth for everything that gets built. Code is generated from the spec, not the other way around. From there, Remy handles the build end to end: code, databases, testing, design, architecture.
When it's done, you don't just get an app. You get a production-ready product, a full roadmap, and a deck that tells the story of what was built.
Everything flows from the spec. Code is a derivation, not the starting point.

What we're looking for
Real Products. Not Demos.
We want full-stack apps with creative, powerful use cases — products people would actually use and pay for.
Full-stack software
Real applications with a backend, database, and a front end that works — not prototypes or mockups.
Creative, powerful use cases
Solve a real problem for real people. The best submissions will feel like products, not projects.
Not AI agents or chatbots
This hackathon is not for agent wrappers or conversational interfaces. We want apps — the kind people open, use, and pay for.

Common questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Remy is built for people with ideas — not just developers. You write a spec describing what your app does, and Remy compiles it into a full-stack application. If you can explain what you want to build, you can build it.
Is it free to enter?
Yes, participation is completely free.
How does the approval process work?
After you register, our team reviews submissions and notifies approved participants by email before the May 1 kick-off. We'll let you know either way.
What can I build?
Full-stack apps with creative, powerful use cases — real applications with a backend, database, and a front end that works. Not agent wrappers or chatbots. Software people would actually open, use, and pay for.
When is the submission deadline?
End of day May 3, 2026 (Pacific Time). Late submissions will not be considered.
How are winners selected?
Submissions are evaluated on creativity, completeness of the application, and how well the project demonstrates Remy's capabilities. Winners will be notified by email.
