New to this topic? That is completely fine. It is completely fine if you have never studied some of these topics before. We want to see how fast you can learn something new, grasp it, and teach it from first principles.
This page is a quick primer, not a script. Use it to get your bearings, then read the links below and anything else you find: other blogs, papers, videos, code. We are judging the story you build, your examples and metaphors, your first-principles thinking, and any experiments you run yourself.
A quick primer
One person working with AI agents can now do the work of many. Not by typing prompts faster, but by planning a big task, splitting it into parts, running several agents or sessions at once, and reviewing what comes back. We want to see that you understand this, and that you already work this way.
What to show us in your recording
- The goal. What were you trying to do, and why did it matter?
- The actual session. Open Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or whatever you used, and scroll through the real conversation. Open your browser, your repo, the result.
- How you split the work. Did you run several sessions or sub-agents at once? How did you keep them from stepping on each other?
- What you achieved. The thing you built, the results, the numbers. How long would it have taken you alone?
- What went wrong and how you steered the agents back.
- The 20× question. Tell us how you think about using agents to do twenty times more than you could alone.
No whiteboard needed for this one: a screen recording is perfect. As with every video, keep your camera on with a webcam bubble so we can see you as you talk.

Go beyond this list. These are starting points. The best submissions usually bring in something we did not link: an experiment, a paper, a story of their own.
