5,000+ people applied to our first hackathon.
300 made it into the room.
Hackyard Build 2026, co-powered by @BenQIndia. 24 hours at IIT Guwahati.
Developers, founders, researchers and designers, building side by side.
Teams built with @adaption_ai ($50M Seed), @ByteAsk (YC F26, $1M raised), @Agent37HQ (YC F26) and Nodus (YC F26).
Tools from @ElevenLabs, @render, @browser_use and more in every builder’s hands.
YC founders @TejasGupta67820 (Clean AI), @4n1rudh4 and Pratyush Saini (ByteAsk) joined live from San Francisco for sessions.
Here’s what stayed with me:
Great builders aren’t rare.
Being seen is.
Most talent never reaches the people who could back it, hire it or build with it. Nobody’s looking in the right places.
That’s what we’re building at @joinHackyard . A network where builders get found, and where companies find them.
Hackyard Build 2026 was the first step. Follow along.

I made an Open Source version of the Grok Bot complete with all the features
It does not need any subscriptions at all and uses the existing subscriptions you already have
It can spin up virtual machines from @asciidotdev
It uses @trycua for computer use
It also has plugin support supporting all the integrations by @composio
Routines coming soon :D
