Personal & Trustworthy Autonomous Agents

Remote participation is open to everyone worldwide, while on-site participation in Vienna is selective and application-based.

Autonomous agents are everywhere. But how can we trust them?
With tools like OpenClaw, developed in Austria, autonomous agents have captured global attention and accelerated the personal agent movement. Now, Austria hosts the next step.
Designed by renowned AI expert Rinat Abdullin (author of ML Under the Hood), this global hackathon asks a crucial question: how do we make these systems truly trustworthy? Headquartered in Vienna and open to participants worldwide — both on-site and remote — it brings together a global community of builders.
The answer lies in measurable standards, transparent evaluation, and real-world benchmarking — exactly what the BitGN platform delivers.
