4. How To Enter 

Entrants may enter by visiting uipath-agenthack.devpost.com (“Hackathon Website”) and following the below steps:

• Register for the Hackathon on the Hackathon Website by clicking the “Join Hackathon” button. To complete registration, sign up to create a free Devpost account, or log in with an existing Devpost account. This will enable you to receive important updates and to create your Submission.

• Entrants will obtain access to the required developer tools/platform and complete a Project described below in Project Requirements. Use of the developer tools will be subject to the license agreement related thereto. Entry in the Hackathon constitutes consent for the Sponsor and Devpost to collect and maintain an entrant’s personal information for the purpose of operating and publicizing the Hackathon.

• By completing the UiPath Labs access form at https://bit.ly/agenthack26form, teams of up to 4 Eligible Entrants will receive access to the UiPath's Labs environment within 3 business days. Upon the creation of a team's access to the UiPath Labs sandbox, no further modifications to the team roster—including the addition or replacement of members—will be permitted. 

• To be considered for the Best Product Feedback bonus prizes, Entrants must be registered for the hackathon on Devpost and complete an online form (each a “Feedback Submission”). Feedback must be submitted during the Feedback Period. To be eligible for a Feedback Prize, the Feedback Submission must be complete with actionable comments that UiPath can use to improve the SDKs or related documentation (for example, bug reports, user interface improvements, suggested integrations, and more). One Feedback Submission per Entrant.

• Complete and enter all of the required fields on the “Enter a Submission” page of the Hackathon Website (each a “Submission”) during the Submission Period and follow the requirements below.

Project Requirements

• What to Create: Entrants must create a NEW working software application using UiPath Studio Web, and that meets the specific requirements of one of the following tracks:

• Track 1: UiPath Maestro Case. Build a solution that orchestrates dynamic, exception-heavy business processes using UiPath case management capabilities. Your solution should move work through stages, involve handoffs between agents, robots, and people, and keep humans in charge at key decision points. Agents within your case flow can be built on UiPath or an external framework; the platform handles coordination regardless of where the agents come from.

1. Think about scenarios like: insurance claims processing where cases move through intake, investigation, and settlement stages; patient care coordination where agents manage referrals, scheduling, and follow-ups across providers; HR onboarding workflows where each new hire case progresses through document collection, system provisioning, and training assignment.
   
   

• Track 2: UiPath Maestro BPMN. Build a solution that models and runs an end-to-end business process using BPMN 2.0 in UiPath Maestro. Your process should orchestrate humans, robots, agents, and APIs through a defined flow with clear tasks, decisions, and handoffs. Agents within the process can be built with UiPath Agent Builder, coding agents, or external frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, or any other agent platform. We want to see processes that move work cleanly from start to finish, with the right actor doing the right task at the right time.

1. Think about scenarios like: invoice approval workflows where extraction agents read documents, validation agents check policy, robots post entries, and humans approve exceptions; new hire onboarding that spans HR, IT provisioning, training assignment, and manager check-ins across stages; or expense reporting that routes through approvals with agents handling categorization, robots posting to ERP systems, and finance reviewing edge cases.
   
   

Track 3: Create agents that use UiPath Test Cloud to reimagine how software testing is designed, automated, executed, and managed across modern enterprise environments. 

• Your goal is to show how agentic software testing can improve quality across AI-driven automations, enterprise applications, and connected business workflows. These agents should help you move faster with more confidence by increasing coverage, improving reliability, and reducing the manual effort required to validate complex systems. 

• Think of building agents that can: evaluate requirements and turn them into meaningful test scenarios, identify fragile or outdated tests before they slow down a release, recommend fixes when automation breaks, or help orchestrate the right tests at the right time based on risk, coverage, and change impact. You might also explore how agents can validate AI-infused workflows, including third-party agents or AI services that participate in a UiPath-orchestrated process. 

• The strongest submissions will show how agentic software testing shifts quality from a late-stage checkpoint into a continuous, intelligent, and governed capability across the enterprise. 

•  

1. All solutions must run on the UiPath Automation Cloud. You can include Agent Builder, Maestro, API Workflows, coding agents, and RPA where needed. You're welcome to bring in agents built on external frameworks and LLMs, in fact, we encourage it. The point is that UiPath is the orchestration and governance layer that ties everything together.

• Bonus: solutions that use coding agents through UiPath for Coding Agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI) will receive additional points during judging. We're especially interested in seeing how participants combine coding agents with low-code components, or blend UiPath-native agents with external agents, to solve complex problems

(each a “Project”). 

• Functionality: The Project must be capable of being successfully installed and running consistently on the platform for which it is intended and must function as depicted in the video and/or expressed in the text description.

• Platforms: A submitted Project must run on the platform for which it is intended and which is specified in the Submission Requirements. 

• New Projects Only: Projects must be newly created by the entrant during the Submission Period.

• Third Party Integrations: If a Project integrates any third-party SDK, APIs and/or data, Entrant must be authorized to use them in accordance with any terms and conditions or licensing requirements of the tool.

Submission Requirements 

Submissions to the Hackathon must meet the following requirements:

• Include a Project built with the required developer tools and meets the above Project Requirements.

• Provide a URL to your GitHub public code repository for judging and testing. The repository must contain all necessary source code, assets, and instructions required for the project to be functional. The repository must be public and open source by including an open source license file (MIT or Apache 2.0). For the avoidance of any doubt, the open-source license applies solely to the participant’s original solution code, and does not extend to any UiPath proprietary tools, activities, SDK packages, or platform components referenced or used within the solution, which remain subject to their own license terms. This license should be detectable and visible at the top of the repository page (in the About section).  

• The repository must include a README.md file that provides:

• Project Description: A clear explanation of what the project does and the problem it solves.

• UiPath Components: A comprehensive list of the components used (e.g., Agent Builder, Maestro, Coded Agents, API Workflows, etc.).

• Agent Type: An explicit statement on whether the solution utilizes Coded Agents, Low-code Agents, or both.

• Setup Instructions: Detailed, step-by-step guidance on how to configure and run the solution for judging.

• Include a text description that should explain the features and functionality of your Project. Specifically include the business problem being solved and how the submission addresses it. 

• Include a demonstration video of your Project. The video portion of the Submission:

• should be less than five (5) minutes. Judges are not required to watch beyond five minutes 

• should include footage that shows the Project functioning on the device for which it was built

• must be uploaded to and made publicly visible on YouTube, Vimeo, or Youku, and a link to the video must be provided on the submission form on the Hackathon Website; and

• must not include third party trademarks, or copyrighted music or other material unless the Entrant has permission to use such material.

• A completed presentation deck (template linked here). You can upload your presentation deck to your own preferred storage (e.g., Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox) and simply share the link with us in the sumission form. Just make sure the sharing settings allow access to all so the jury can view it.

• For Finalists: Upon being selected, finalists will be contacted by the organizers and required to document and upload their solution as a Use Case on the UiPath Community Forum. Specific posting instructions, formatting guidelines, and deadlines will be provided during the finalist announcement phase. Completion of this step is mandatory to remain eligible for final prizes.

Multiple Submissions 

An Entrant may submit more than one Submission, however, each Submission must be unique and substantially different from each of the Entrant’s other Submissions, as determined by the Sponsor and Devpost in their sole discretion.

Submission ownership

Be the original work of the Entrant, be solely owned by the Entrant, and not violate the IP rights of any other person or entity.

Testing 

Access must be provided to an Entrant’s working Project for judging and testing by providing a link to a public code repository. The Entrant must make the Project available free of charge and without any restriction, for testing, evaluation and use by the Sponsor, Administrator and Judges until the Judging Period ends. Judges are not required to test the Project and may choose to judge based solely on the text description, images, and video provided in the Submission.

If the Project includes software that runs on proprietary or third party hardware that is not widely available to the public, including software running on devices or wearable technology other than smartphones, tablets, or desktop computers, the Sponsor and/or Administrator reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to require the Entrant to provide physical access to the Project hardware upon request.  

Language Requirements

All Submission materials must be in English or, if not in English, the Entrant must provide an English translation of the demonstration video, text description, and testing instructions as well as all other materials submitted The Sponsor, Administrator, and Judges bear no responsibility for any inaccuracies in any translation or for any lower score that results from a judge's reliance on a translation rather than the original submission materials.

Team Representation

If a team or organization is entering the Hackathon, they must appoint and authorize one individual (the “Representative”) to represent, act, and enter a Submission, on their behalf. The Representative must meet the eligibility requirements above. By entering a Submission on the Hackathon Website on behalf of a team or organization you represent and warrant that you are the Representative authorized to act on behalf of your team or organization.

Intellectual Property 

Your Submission must: (a) be your (or your Team, or Organization’s) original work product; (b) be solely owned by you, your Team, your Organization with no other person or entity having any right or interest in it; and (c) not violate the intellectual property rights or other rights including but not limited to copyright, trademark, patent, contract, and/or privacy rights, of any other person or entity. An Entrant may contract with a third party for technical assistance to create the Submission provided the Submission components are solely the Entrant’s work product and the result of the Entrant’s ideas and creativity, and the Entrant owns all rights to them. An Entrant may submit a Submission that includes the use of open source software or hardware, provided the Entrant complies with applicable open source licenses and, as part of the Submission, creates software that enhances and builds upon the features and functionality included in the underlying open source product. By entering the Hackathon, you represent, warrant, and agree that your Submission meets these requirements.

Financial or Preferential Support 

A Project must not have been developed, or derived from a Project developed, with financial or preferential support from the Sponsor or Administrator. Such Projects include, but are not limited to, those that received funding or investment for their development, were developed under contract, or received a commercial license, from the Sponsor or Administrator any time prior to the end of Hackathon Submission Period. The Sponsor, at their sole discretion, may disqualify a Project, if awarding a prize to the Project would create a real or apparent conflict of interest.

5. Submission Modifications

Draft Submissions 

Prior to the end of the Submission Period, you may save draft versions of your submission on Devpost to your portfolio before submitting the Submission materials to the Hackathon for evaluation. Once the Submission Period has ended, you may not make any changes or alterations to your Submission, but you may continue to update the Project in your Devpost portfolio.

Modifications After the Submission Period

The Sponsor and Devpost may permit you to modify part of your Submission after the Submission Period for the purpose of adding, removing or replacing material that potentially infringes a third party mark or right, discloses personally identifiable information, or is otherwise inappropriate. The modified Submission must remain substantively the same as the original Submission with the only modification being what the Sponsor and Devpost permits. 

6. Judges & Criteria

Phase 1: Initial evaluation

All eligible submissions will be reviewed by a UiPath-appointed evaluator. Each submission is assessed by one reviewer across five criteria, each rated on a scale of 1 to 5:

• Business Impact & Adoption Potential

• Platform Usage

• Technical Execution, Feasibility & Versatility

• Completeness of Delivery

• Creativity & Innovation

All five criteria carry equal weight. Up to 10 of the highest-scoring submissions per track will advance to Phase 2 finalist judging. In the event of a tie at the 10th position within a track, UiPath reserves the right to determine which submission advances based on a secondary review.

Business Impact & Adoption Potential: Evaluators will assess whether the solution addresses a real, complex business problem with clear strategic value and realistic potential for production deployment.

Platform Usage: Evaluators will assess the depth and sophistication of UiPath platform usage, including Agent Builder, Maestro, API Workflows, coded agents, and Test Cloud where applicable. This criterion rewards deliberate, deep usage over superficial breadth. Solutions that incorporate external agent frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, or others) within a governed UiPath orchestration layer will score higher. Solutions that demonstrate the use of coding agents through UiPath for Coding Agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI) will receive additional points within this criterion.

Technical Execution, Feasibility & Versatility: Evaluators will assess code quality, architectural soundness, and production-readiness, including the solution's ability to handle real-world complexity such as exceptions, handoffs, and failures.

Completeness of Delivery: Evaluators will assess whether the submission includes a functional end-to-end prototype, a public GitHub repository with a README and setup instructions, and a demo video of no more than five minutes showing the solution running and a ppt with an overview of the solution.

Creativity & Innovation: Evaluators will assess the originality of the approach, novel agent design, unexpected orchestration patterns, and creative problem framing.

Phase 2: Finalist judging (Live finale on Zoom)

Up to 10 of the highest-scoring submissions per track will participate in a live finale event on Zoom. Finalists will present their solution to a judging panel and take questions. Judging will be conducted across five criteria of equal weight, assessed on the basis of the live presentation and Q&A:

• Business Impact & Adoption Potential

• Platform Usage

• Technical Execution, Feasibility & Versatility

• Creativity & Innovation

• Presentation

Business Impact & Adoption Potential: Judges will assess the real-world relevance and production viability of the solution as presented, including the clarity of the business case and the scalability of the approach.

Platform Usage: Judges will assess the depth and deliberateness of UiPath platform usage as demonstrated in the live presentation, including the use of Agent Builder, Maestro, API Workflows, coded agents, and external frameworks where applicable. Solutions that demonstrate the use of coding agents through UiPath for Coding Agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI) will receive additional points within this criterion.

Technical Execution, Feasibility & Versatility: Judges will assess architectural soundness, code quality, and production-readiness as demonstrated through the live demo, including the solution's handling of exceptions, failures, and edge cases.

Creativity & Innovation: Judges will assess the originality of the approach as demonstrated in the live presentation, including novel design decisions, unexpected orchestration patterns, and creative problem framing.

Presentation: Judges will assess the clarity, structure, and delivery of the live presentation, including the logical flow from problem to solution to impact, the confidence and coherence of the demo, the accessibility of technical communication, and the quality of responses during Q&A.

BONUS POINTS: CODING AGENTS

Submissions that demonstrate the use of coding agents through UiPath for Coding Agents, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI, will receive additional points within the Platform Usage criterion in both Phase 1 and Phase 2 judging. This is not a separate scoring category; bonus points are applied as additional weight within the Platform Usage criterion.

To qualify for bonus points, participants must clearly document in their Devpost project description or GitHub README: (a) which coding agent tool or tools were used; (b) how the coding agent contributed to the solution; and (c) that the coding agent output is meaningfully integrated into the solution, not merely referenced.

Use of coding agents is not required to win. All submissions are eligible for prizes on the merits of all five judging criteria.

More details related to how the bonus points work:

SCORING

Submissions will be scored across five judging criteria, each rated on a scale of 1 to 5, for a maximum base score of 25 points per submission.

In addition to the base score, submissions that demonstrate the use of AI-assisted development through coding agents are eligible to receive up to 2 additional bonus points, applied on top of the total base score. The maximum possible score in Phase 1 is therefore 27 points.

UiPath for Coding Agents, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI, are the primary supported tools for this bonus. Participants using other AI-assisted development tools not listed above may also be considered for bonus points, provided they meet the documentation requirements set out below. In all cases, the reviewer's assessment of whether the tool qualifies is final.

Bonus points are awarded on the following scale:

2 points: The submission clearly documents which coding agent or AI-assisted development tool was used, provides evidence of how it contributed to the solution, and demonstrates that the output is meaningfully and substantively integrated into the working solution. Evidence must include at least one of the following: a prompt log or session export, screenshots of the coding agent interaction, a dedicated section in the README describing the coding agent's role in the build, or equivalent documentation that allows the reviewer to independently verify the claim.

1 point: The submission documents coding agent or AI-assisted development tool usage but the integration is partial, limited in scope, or the evidence provided allows only partial verification by the reviewer.

0 points: The submission does not document or demonstrate the use of a coding agent or AI-assisted development tool, or the documentation provided is insufficient for the reviewer to verify the claim.

Bonus points are applied by the Phase 1 reviewer after the five base criteria have been scored. In Phase 2, the judging panel will apply the same bonus on the same scale, added on top of the five equally weighted criteria scores.

To be considered for bonus points, participants must include in their Devpost project description or GitHub README: (a) the name of the coding agent or AI-assisted development tool used; (b) a description of how it contributed to the solution, for example agent scaffolding, workflow generation, test creation, or integration code; and (c) at least one form of verifiable evidence as described above.

Use of coding agents or AI-assisted development tools is not required to win. All submissions are eligible for prizes on the merits of the five base judging criteria. The maximum base score of 25 points is achievable without the use of coding agents.

DECISIONS

All evaluation and judging decisions are final. UiPath reserves the right to disqualify any submission that does not meet the eligibility and submission requirements set forth in these Rules, regardless of its score.

People's Choice Award (separate prize)

Community voting determines the top 3 People's Choice winner. This is a standalone award; any participant can win it regardless of finalist status, and votes do not influence the judges' scores.

During the Voting Period, eligible Submissions will be posted on the Hackathon Website for community members to submit their votes. Voting results will not be displayed publicly. The winner of the Community Choice Prize will be selected based on the highest number of verified votes received during the Voting Period. Verified vote counts will be determined by Devpost. Participation and use of Public Voting is subject to the Devpost Terms of Service which include the below:

“You may not use any manual or automated vote process or methods, or multiple e-mail addresses, to circumvent the one-vote limit per person per Submission. Doing so will subject all of your votes to disqualification. The Poster may also disqualify a Maker, if the Maker receives multiple or irregular votes from the same user or users, receives votes in a manner that indicates manual, automated or other vote manipulation, or attempts to compensate voters.”

Special Awards (Most Creative Solution, Best Demo / Presentation, Best Cross-Platform Integration, and Best First-Time Builder) will be evaluated and awarded at the sole discretion of the Sponsor.

Feedback Submission Criteria. Eligible Feedback Submissions will be evaluated based on the completeness, viability, and potential impact of the feedback.

Tie Breaking 

For each Prize listed below, if two or more Submissions are tied, the tied Submission with the highest score in the first applicable criterion listed above will be considered the higher scoring Submission. In the event any ties remain, this process will be repeated, as needed, by comparing the tied Submissions’ scores on the next applicable criterion. If two or more Submissions are tied on all applicable criteria, the panel of Judges will vote on the tied Submissions.

7. Intellectual Property Rights

All Submissions remain the intellectual property of the individuals or organizations that developed them. By submitting an entry, entrants agree that the Sponsor will have a non-exclusive license to use such entry for judging the entry. Entrants agree that the sponsor and Devpost shall have the right to promote the Submission and use the name, likeness, voice and image of all individuals contributing to a Submission, in any materials promoting or publicizing the Hackathon and its results, during the Hackathon Period and for three years thereafter.  Some Submission components may be displayed to the public.
