About Automate Me If You Can
Frank Abagnale forged checks, faked identities, and flew across the world - all because he refused to do things the hard way.
This hackathon is your chance to channel that same energy. Not for fraud, obviously - but for automating all the tedious, repetitive tasks that eat up your day.
Accomplish is the open source AI coworker that lives on your desktop. It reads your files, creates documents, browses the web, organizes your folders, and handles the boring stuff so you don't have to. It runs locally on your machine, and every action is shown and approved before it runs.
Your challenge: use Accomplish to automate something real in your life. The more creative, the more useful, the more impressive the before-and-after - the more likely you are to walk away with $500 and a job interview.
They can't catch you if you've already automated everything.
Meet Your New AI Coworker
Accomplish is the open source AI coworker that lives on your desktop. It reads your files, creates documents, and automates repetitive knowledge work - all running locally on your machine.
Browse the Web
Ask it to perform any browsing task - research topics, fill out forms, grab information from websites, or automate repetitive web workflows.
Organize Files
Rename and organize files based on their contents. Clean up messy Downloads folders, sort by project, date, or type - automatically.
Generate Documents
Generate or rewrite documents. Draft follow-up emails, create meeting summaries, or prepare reports from your existing files.
Scan & Summarize
Point it at any folder and get a summary of what's inside. Understand project structures, find important files, or audit your content.
Create Calendar Entries
Turn meeting notes into calendar entries, draft follow-up documents, or prepare a project folder with the right file structure.
Custom Automations
Define repeatable workflows and save them as reusable skills. Build automations that fit your specific routine and needs.

1. Pick a Real Problem
What eats up your time every day or week? Messy files? Writing the same emails? Repetitive research? Tedious reports? Pick something you actually deal with.
2. Automate It with Accomplish
Install Accomplish, connect your AI provider (or use Ollama for free), and put it to work. Let it browse, organize, write, and manage tasks on your behalf.
3. Get Creative
The more creative your automation, the better. Chain multiple tasks together. Combine file organization with document generation. Surprise us with something clever.

“Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse wouldn't quit - he struggled so hard that he churned that cream into butter and crawled out.”
- Frank Abagnale Sr. (Catch Me If You Can)
