Why build for creators? 

The job market is changing at breakneck speed. We don't know which jobs will be replaced by AI in the next year, much less the next decade.

At Stan and Kortex, we're on a mission to empower creators to work for themselves. In a world where entire career paths are at risk, working for yourself is no longer the risky choice. Building a brand around what you do is becoming the best way to future-proof yourself.

Instead of being replaced by AI, we help creators leverage it to amplify their reach and impact, while doing what they love.

That's what Creator Hacks will be about. Let’s build the future of agent-powered tools together. We look forward to seeing you!

Requirements

What to Build

Participants will build agentic or AI-based tools for content creators. The project should help creators automate parts of their workflow, or amplify their productivity in some ways. Examples of workflows that you can build your project around:

  • Research and idea generation
  • Contextual retrieval for creating new content 
  • Analyzing past top-performing content 
  • Posting or content scheduling
  • Finding inspiration from other top creators or content

 

What to Submit

Participants must submit the following:

  • Link to GitHub repository
  • A video demo (maximum 3 minutes)
  • A public URL to the working app
