About the Hackathon

The Agent Trust Challenge was an in-person hackathon hosted by Rippletide at WeWork Embarcadero in San Francisco. Developers and AI engineers were challenged to build hallucination-free AI agents using the Rippletide SDK and Hypergraph Decision Database.

Participants explored how deterministic reasoning, causal decision traces, and policy-as-code enforcement can deliver AI agents that enterprises can actually trust in production.

The Challenge

  • Build an AI agent that delivers zero hallucinations using the Rippletide SDK
  • Integrate the Hypergraph Decision Database for deterministic decision-making
  • Demonstrate full decision traceability and auditability
  • Ship a production-ready agent in a single evening

What Was Provided

  • Access to the Rippletide SDK and developer documentation
  • Hands-on support from the Rippletide engineering team
  • Pizza, drinks, and a collaborative atmosphere
  • Networking with fellow AI engineers and builders in the Bay Area

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Agent Trust Challenge?

The Agent Trust Challenge is a hackathon organized by Rippletide in San Francisco where developers and AI engineers build hallucination-free AI agents using the Rippletide SDK and Hypergraph Decision Database. Participants explore deterministic reasoning, causal decision traces, and policy-as-code enforcement to deliver AI agents that enterprises can trust in production.

How does the Rippletide SDK help build hallucination-free AI agents?

The Rippletide SDK provides developers with tools to integrate the Hypergraph Decision Database into their AI agent workflows. It enables pre-execution validation of every agent action against defined policies, deterministic decision-making through the Decision Context Graph, and full auditability via causal decision traces, eliminating hallucinations and ensuring trustworthy agent behavior.

What makes an AI agent hallucination-free?

A hallucination-free AI agent is one that only produces decisions grounded in verified data and enforced policies. Rippletide achieves this through its Decision Context Graph, which validates every agent action before execution against a structured ontology of enterprise knowledge, constraints, and policies. This neuro-symbolic approach ensures agents cannot produce outputs that contradict their operational context.
