DayDreamers will organize a focused hackathon series for Phoebe’s new agent data platform — putting it in the hands of hundreds of developers building production AI agents, generating real usage data, community signal, and early adopters ahead of launch.
Phoebe has built the immune system for software — AI agents that investigate production incidents before they reach customers. Now Phoebe is extending that infrastructure into a broader agent data platform, and the next step is getting it into the hands of the people who will build on it.
Online docs and beta signups generate awareness. Hackathons generate adoption: participants build real agents, encounter real constraints, and form muscle memory with the platform. DayDreamers will run focused Agent Builder events that give Phoebe direct signal on how developers use the data layer, what breaks, and what sticks.
Phoebe deploys swarms of AI agents that continuously investigate live data — logs, traces, commits, and infrastructure signals — to diagnose emerging issues and generate preemptive fixes before they become customer-impacting failures. Founded by Matt Henderson and James Summerfield (previously CEO and CIO of Stripe Europe), Phoebe has raised $17M in seed funding from GV (Google Ventures) and Cherry Ventures.
Now Phoebe is building a broader agent data platform: a unified data layer that lets any AI agent query across multiple enterprise data sources with a single SQL call, with fine-grained access control at the table and column level. This is the product DayDreamers will put in front of builders.
Phoebe’s agent data platform solves two hard problems that every agent builder hits: unifying data across fragmented sources, and controlling what each agent can access. These are constraints developers feel most acutely when building — which makes a hackathon the highest-signal distribution channel for a pre-launch product.
Hundreds of developers attempting real integrations in a single day surfaces friction points that months of internal testing cannot.
Agent Builders who solve real problems with the platform become its earliest advocates and contributors.
Every project built is a use case. Every demo is shareable content. Every winner is a case study for launch.
DayDreamers operates across the US, Europe, and Asia — matching Phoebe’s London-based team and international customer base.
Each activation follows a repeatable half-day format. Participants build AI agents that query real-world data sources through Phoebe’s unified data layer — observability platforms, documentation, notification systems, and more. Short enough for strong turnout, long enough for real product usage and demos.
