The big idea
AI agents are only as useful as the services they can reach. NandaHack is about building those services, and improving the shared town that lets agents find and use them. It's part of Project NANDA, the broader effort behind NANDA Town.
About NandaHack
A hands-on hackathon for people building the real infrastructure that enterprise AI agents need, not just demos.
Two steps, start to finish
First, warm up by improving NANDA Town, the shared home for agents. Then build your own service that any agent can pick up and use on its own. That second step is the main event.
