What TinyHacks was
TinyHacks: Bounty Edition was a one-day, in-person hackathon in Greater Noida. Everyone worked solo. The day opened with an introduction to agentic AI and web agents and a live TinyFish demo, followed by a bounty-solving sprint with mentor support, then project submission and a showcase.
TinyFish builds infrastructure that lets AI agents work on the live web. Its banner at the event summed it up in four verbs: search, fetch, browse and execute.
The result
I finished 3rd on the winners board, out of 350 participants. First and second place went to other participants, and there was a separate winners category on the same board.
The prizes for my place were $18 in prize money, TinyFish credits, a TinyFish T-shirt, goodies, a sticker sheet and a badge.
Why it matters to my work
I build agentic AI systems, RAG pipelines and automation, so working directly against a web-agent platform in a timed, solo format was a useful test of how quickly I can go from a problem statement to something that runs.
It also adds to a run of community results in 2026 — see the full list on the portfolio's events section.
