Zero-Human Company Hackathon by Terac

The capabilities of AI tools and agents are only getting better; it won’t be long till most companies are being run singlehandedly by agents.

We're challenging engineers to build an agent that can run a business on its own: making decisions, handling operations, and executing with little to no human input.

Terac is the expert labor MCP for AI companies. We've raised $9M from top investors and are on track to pay our 100,000+ users over $2M for their contributions in 2026.
