Overview
Browser-Use Hackathon: GTM Edition is a single-day, in-person hackathon held in Bengaluru on Saturday, July 18, 2026, running from 10:00 to 17:00. It is organised by webcmd together with GTMX Ventures, and it works on one narrow, practical brief: get AI agents to handle real browser-driven go-to-market work.
There is no pitching of business ideas here. Participants spend the day writing and shipping agents that take over the repetitive parts of a GTM motion — assembling prospect lists, tailoring outreach, supporting social selling, keeping CRM and pipeline records clean, and researching target accounts and competitors.
The schedule is deliberately short and hands-on. The morning begins with a 30-minute primer on browser agents and a walkthrough from webcmd, after which teams get straight into building. Demos can be presented live or played back as a recording of an actual agent run, which means a genuinely working agent counts for more than a polished slide deck.
The strongest build of the day takes home a ₹10,000 cash prize. The room is meant for anyone curious about agentic AI, and is especially relevant to GTM, sales and marketing teams, outbound and GTM agencies, and founders or GTM leaders at seed-plus companies and Series A-stage startups. You can join on your own or bring a team of up to four. Seats are capped.
