Today I have the great privilege of being able to participate in the Poe Hackathon at the infamous AGI House.
I am frankly quite surprised that they would allow a lowly chemist such as myself to participate. I did include links to Resina and my Six Hats Helper chatbot in my application.
I’ve never participated a hackathon before. Most of the products that I have built took five to ten years to get to a minimum viable product, not five to ten hours.
Maybe it’s because I have absolutely no experience in this culture, but I am imagining fierce competition between the “stallions” of the Silicon Valley TV show.

Or maybe I’m just going to hang out with a bunch of AI nerds all day. I’m stoked either way.
Here’s what I’m building today…
Offset Monster
Making Carbon Offsets Fun, Conversational, and Contagious
Offset Monster makes carbon offsetting more accessible and viral through a fun, conversational AI bot. After calculating the carbon footprint of anything, Offset Monster makes it easy to buy a corresponding carbon offset for the item/activity in question, on the spot.
