Core trick

A top-level orchestrator spawns R&D, pricing, and espionage sub-agents that exchange structured JSON payloads each round, with shocks injected by an operator.

Description

MADMAX: Autonomous Market Ecosystem is a multi-agent corporate war-room simulation built for the Google I/O Hackathon 2026. Powered by the Gemini 3.5 Flash Managed Agents API, the system pits three rival AI corporations against each other in a hyper-accelerated, zero-human-latency digital wasteland. A top-level orchestrator dynamically deploys specialized sub-agents—handling R&D, pricing warfare, and corporate espionage—communicating entirely through high-velocity, structured JSON payloads. When operators trigger catastrophic macroeconomic shocks, the ecosystem instantly adapts, showcasing emergent defensive strategy, real-time multi-step reasoning, and extreme token optimization under pressure.

README excerpt

# Mad Max

Autonomous multi-agent market simulation. Three corp agents (Google, OpenAI, Anthropic) trade, sabotage, and ally in a live market while a Chaos Operator injects shocks. State streams to a dark-mode War Room dashboard.

## Run

```bash
# backend
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r backend/requirements.txt
export GEMINI_API_KEY=...      # optional; seed.json fallback runs without it
uvicorn backend.main:app --reload --port 8000

# frontend
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev
# open http://localhost:3000
```
