Agentic AI Hackathon

The Agentic AI Hackathon challenges participants to build intelligent systems capable of autonomous multi-step execution. Instead of simply generating answers, teams must demonstrate systems that can pursue goals, select actions dynamically, use tools, adapt to changing conditions and handle failures.
