Hackathon tracks
The team AI hackathon has three announced tracks:
- Autonomous and adaptive AI (Autonomous & Adaptive AI).
- Products and workflows built around AI (AI-Native Products & Operations).
- AI with deep specialization in a specific domain (Deep Domain AI).
These tracks help you judge whether the event matches your team’s interests. Ask the organizers for the detailed schedule of individual stages. The track names do not replace a specific task for participants.
According to The Pattaya News, participation is aimed at developers with experience programming with AI and building production-grade software. If you are unsure whether your team’s experience is a fit, check the requirements with the organizers before submitting an application.
Participation Terms
The Sea x OpenAI hackathon accepts teams of 3–4 participants. The stated capacity is up to 40 teams. You can apply through the registration page on the Luma platform, which the organizer links to.
There is an important detail: submitting an application does not guarantee participation. Registration requires organizer approval, and applications close on October 23, 2026. First check your team’s makeup and submit the application, then wait for confirmation.
An application requires organizer approval, so it makes sense to plan a trip to take part only after you receive approval, not just after submitting the form.
Check the dress requirements, necessary equipment, and office access conditions with the organizers. If you plan to eat outside the venue, you can see options in the Bangkok food guide.
