Hosted by Crustdata (YC F24) with Techkriti, IIT Kanpur, in partnership with Y Combinator, through the night of Thursday, November 5.

Pick a job people are paid to do today, in-house or at a firm, from hiring to underwriting to freight, and build the agents that do all of it. Bring in a human only for the exceptions, make every decision cite its reasons, and do it all in one night.

Demo is a two-minute video of your product taking a request all the way to finished work.

Ideas to start from

The shape is yours: one agent, a system of agents, an MCP server or a CLI.

01A recruiter that takes a role and returns an accepted offer
02A procurement desk that turns a vague purchase request into a supplier an auditor would sign off on
03An underwriter that checks every submission against the world, then quotes, refers or declines
04A scout that finds exceptional founders before they raise, and says why each one deserves a meeting
05A fraud investigator that takes an insider tip and returns a complaint-ready case file
06Or what these agents run on: memory that lasts for months, a check on every action before it goes out, agents that pay their own way
