Spaces by WZRD Tech: air launch + mini-hackathon

Powered by WZRD.tech × 5-Dee Studios · #SFTechWeek

Thursday, October 8, 2026 · 10 AM–4 PM PDT · San Francisco

Spaces returns for San Francisco Tech Week with a day of hands-on building, guest conversations, lunch, and live demos.

Following our October 2 launch of Air, Zap, and COAST, we're turning ideas into working prototypes with the people shaping the creator and agent economies.

Come for the whole day, or stop by for lunch and conversation. Builders can join the Agency sprint; creators, founders, and curious visitors can join the talks and meet the community.

Build agents that act

Bring an idea and build a useful agent, creative workflow, or prototype that you can demonstrate in the room. Explore Air, WZRD's personal creative assistant, and COAST in a hands-on workshop at the start of the day.

Build tracks

• Discovery: agents for research, search, and finding useful information.

• Autonomous businesses: workflows for creative services, commerce, and operations.

• Embodied AI: intelligence that connects to devices and physical experiences.

• Wildcard: an original experiment you can show working live.
