A hackathon to find out how people really use agents. Build an agent on Plow that solves one real chore end to end — Plow Latch lets it safely drive your Mac, Plow Chat lets it talk to you over iMessage. Publish it to the AI Worth Using Agent Index and it ranks on real usage, not upvotes. Kickoff Sept 9, 1pm PT; the leaderboard snapshot is Sept 22, 1pm PT. First place wins a Mac Studio M5 Max, second a Mac Mini M6, and the top finishers are candidates for the AI Worth Using podcast.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 We're Plow, and this is the AI Worth Using Hackathon.
The brief: build an AI agent that uses Plow, ship it open source, and get real people to actually use it. Usage decides the leaderboard — not demos, not decks.
Timeline: kickoff Sept 9, 1pm PT; usage counts Sept 16-22; leaderboard snapshot Sept 22 and the top 10 qualify; our team picks 1st and 2nd, and the top 3 are candidates to join us on the AI Worth Using podcast with Tom Preston-Werner (GitHub co-founder). First place takes a Mac Studio.
