Company Hackathon in Stuttgart brings engineering, product, and domain experts together around work that matters to the business. Instead of discussing AI in the abstract, small cross-functional teams use approved tools and realistic test data to build demonstrable workflows in a focused day.
The format is prepared with the sponsor and challenge owners. Each challenge has a clear user, a narrow boundary, and a visible success test, so the day produces evidence rather than a collection of disconnected ideas.
A focused build day for real company workflows
Coding agents become useful when teams apply them to their own systems, constraints, and quality standards. The hackathon creates a shared reference point across roles and makes both opportunities and limitations visible.
Preparation covers accounts, repositories, data classes, security rules, and the expected demo. Participants can spend the event building because the most important operating decisions have already been made.
What your team can prototype
The final selection depends on your area and approved setup. Suitable challenges include:
- Build an internal knowledge navigator that answers with links to approved sources.
- Turn a recurring operational exception into a reviewable assistant workflow.
- Create a coding-agent workflow that explains a bounded code area and proposes tested changes.
- Prototype a product or service flow with transparent human approval points.
- Convert an unclear manual handoff into a traceable, demonstrable process.
Turning one day into an activation pilot
Before the hackathon
A sponsor call and challenge-design session select three to eight tasks. Each one gets a named user, current workflow, available information, risk boundary, and visible success test.
A separate setup check confirms that accounts, tools, and access work before the event.
During the build day
After a short live demo, mixed teams spend at least 70 percent of the day building. Facilitators help with scope, coding agents, and blockers.
Product and domain experts keep the user in view, engineers own the technical path, and every team prepares a live, reproducible demonstration.
After demo day
Each prototype is recorded with its functional state, value hypothesis, known limitations, tool friction, and next owner.
Within ten business days, a follow-up separates results worth continuing from prerequisites and experiments that should deliberately end.
Who should participate
The strongest group combines people who understand the workflow with people who can build and sponsor what happens next.
- Engineering and platform leaders introducing coding agents.
- Product and domain owners responsible for concrete workflows.
- Developer experience, enablement, and internal academy teams.
- Innovation and digital teams with access to real challenge owners.
Tools, data, and security
Approved models, accounts, repositories, and data classes are agreed before the event. When production information cannot be used, teams work with synthetic or de-identified examples.
The result is a prototype, not an autonomous production deployment. Assumptions, human controls, and known limitations remain visible in every final demonstration.
What remains after the day
The day ends with working demonstrations and a concise record of value hypotheses, technical friction, missing access, and accountable next owners.
Teams leave with practical experience and leaders gain concrete evidence for deciding which ideas deserve another sprint, which need groundwork, and which should stop.
ALL IN AGI facilitates the on-site hackathon for 15 to 50 people. The price includes two facilitators, challenge design, demo day, follow-up, and lunch. We determine the right scope in the preparation call based on the team, tool stack, and challenges.
