UiPath’s AgentHack 2025 sets the stage for global innovators to design next-gen AI agents. The hackathon reflects UiPath’s push to lead the future of intelligent, agent-driven automation.

UiPath, a global pioneer in enterprise automation and AI technologies, has announced the start of Global AgentHack 2025, a virtual hackathon to advance agentic automation. Introduced at UiPath DevCon 2025, the global competition challenges contestants to create novel AI agents utilising UiPath’s tools and platform.

This one-of-a-kind hackathon is solely focused on agentic automation. Participants will create AI agents in different categories, such as Agent Builder, Agentic Orchestration, Agentic Testing, and Role-based Agentic Agents. The programme prioritises practical, hands-on development over theoretical ideas, emphasising real-world use cases and enterprise applications.

The hackathon is open to developers, data scientists, AI specialists, students, and industry experts. Individuals or teams of up to four can compete. Submissions should illustrate AI agents’ potential to drive corporate transformation.

Sebastian Schroetel, Senior Vice President of Product Management at UiPath, said, “AgentHack is a platform for global innovators to explore agentic automation using UiPath tools.” We look forward to receiving groundbreaking ideas that will use AI agents to reinvent business effectiveness.

UiPath will provide participants with access to workshops, mentorship sessions, and enablement programmes throughout the competition. Finalists will be given the opportunity to incorporate their projects into the UiPath ecosystem and display them on the UiPath Community Forum.

Bobby Patrick, Chief Marketing Officer at UiPath, said, “AgentHack 2025 reflects our commitment to empowering the developer community. With the reimagined UiPath Platform™ for agentic automation, this hackathon marks a major milestone in our journey to scale AI-driven automation.”
