Abyss: Empowering Creation
Build and share widgets
The Abyss Hackathon
The Abyss Hackathon 2025 is a 48–72 hour online challenge to create one-shot PDF widgets powered by Python. Join a global community of developers, AI enthusiasts, and students to build, deploy, and compete on the Abyss platform.
With mentorship, Discord support, and rewards up to $1,000 plus mystery boxes for Best Overall, Innovative, and Favorite Widget, it’s your chance to shine.
One-shot Widgets
Widgets are compact, reusable Python mini‑apps built for specific tasks, accessible via a simple form‑based interface. “One‑shot” means they’re lean and modular: users input data, click a button, and get polished outputs instantly—no fuss, no bloat.
Deployed on the Abyss platform, widgets are ready to be shared, reused, and monetized.

Why PDFs?
PDFs are universal — contracts, reports, invoices — but notoriously hard to manage. Your widgets will conquer PDF challenges and solve real‑world problems like automating form parsing or crafting dynamic reports, all powered by AI, Python and Abyss.
- Extract text and structured data
- Convert between formats
