Introduction

Welcome to the DevFest Münster 2026: Agentic AI Hackathon resource hub!

We are moving into an era where software engineering extends beyond writing isolated functions and chat prompts into architecting autonomous, collaborative AI agents. This page provides curated tools, documentation, design ideas, and support channels to help you build, test, and deploy your project during the 1-day sprint.

Mentors and Google Developer Experts (GDEs) will be on-site at VHS Münster throughout the day to offer technical advice, architecture reviews, and debugging support.

Tools and Technologies

You are free to build with the stack of your choice. You may choose to leverage Google's ecosystem or bring your own preferred frameworks and APIs:

  • Google Agentic Ecosystem:

    • Google AI Studio: Rapidly prototype system instructions, structured output schemas, and tool-calling with Gemini 1.5 Pro and Flash.

    • Gemma Open Models: Lightweight, open-weights foundation models customizable for local or edge deployment.

    • Agent Development Kit (ADK): Framework and patterns for structured multi-agent workflows and tool execution.

    • Firebase Genkit: Open-source framework to build, test, and monitor AI-powered applications with Node.js and Go.

    • Project IDX: Web-based, AI-assisted development workspace configured for full-stack and mobile builds.

  • Open & Bring-Your-Own-Stack (BYOS):

    • You may freely integrate alternative model APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI), developer environments like Antigravity, or open agent orchestrators (e.g., CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph, LlamaIndex).

    • Bring your own API keys and environment configurations for third-party tooling.

Inspiration

Need an idea to kickstart your hacking sprint? Consider these thematic directions:

 

 

  • Autonomous Multi-Agent Systems: Build a team of specialized agents (e.g., researcher, coder, tester, reviewer) that collaborate sequentially or hierarchically to solve end-to-end user workflows.

  • Defensive & Secure-by-Default AI: Create safety guardrails that detect prompt-injection attacks, sanitize model outputs, or enforce strict zero-trust permission policies on tool execution.

  • Developer Workflow Automation: Develop intelligent CLI utilities or IDE extensions that automate migration tasks, generate test suites, or manage cloud infrastructure via natural language commands.

  • Local & Client-Side Intelligence: Build Flutter or web applications that combine serverless orchestration with client-side reasoning using on-device models.
