WikiThon was a 48-hour online hackathon hosted by AI Valley, with Harnoor Singh and Kartik Chauhan as organizers, centered on the spring 2026 wave of personal, agent-readable wikis. The event's tagline was Build your own Wikipedia with HydraDB.
It rode the same cultural moment as the LLM Wiki pattern (Andrej Karpathy's April 2026 threads, Farzapedia by Farza Majeed, and markdown-first Second Brain tooling): treat interlinked articles as a compiled knowledge base for agents, not a one-off chat transcript.

Theme and stack
Participants were asked to build systems that reason over long context, memory, and workflows—not shallow prompt wrappers. The sponsored substrate was HydraDB, a unified context layer for agents (ingest documents and memories, recall ranked context via APIs such as full_recall, then ground an LLM on the result).
That complements file-first wikis like those described in Personal Knowledge: HydraDB emphasizes managed recall and graph-backed context, while the Wiki CLI supports markdown + RDF + SHACL and JSON Schema validation for static, inspectable wikis.
Prizes and community
The Luma page advertised roughly $800 in prizes and bounties. AI Valley positions itself as a builder community running hackathons and workshops; project submissions were listed on the hackathon gallery.
