Overview
UiPath AgentHack 2026 is a virtual, worldwide hackathon staged by UiPath, the company known for enterprise automation software. It is not an investment scheme or a grant — it is a build-and-compete event where participants create working AI agents for business use cases on UiPath's platform and put them in front of judges.
The competition window opens on 30 April 2026 and runs through to 11 August 2026. Registration and project submission both close on 7 July 2026, so entrants need to be signed up and finished well before the programme itself wraps up.
The doors are open to a wide crowd — software developers, AI enthusiasts, students and working professionals are all named as the intended audience. There is no country-level restriction, which means Indian participants take part on exactly the same terms as anyone else, and you can compete alone or assemble a group of up to four.
The prize pot stands at $50,000, roughly ₹46,00,000, with individual awards of $5,000 going to the strongest submissions. Beyond cash, the organisers indicate that non-cash rewards such as mentorship and cloud credits may also be included. Everything, from the first sign-up to the final hand-in, happens online through Devpost.

- Build your agent. Teams develop their project on the UiPath platform during the competition window, which opens on 30 April 2026 and runs to 11 August 2026.
- Submit before the cut-off. The registration deadline and the submission deadline fall on the same date — 7 July 2026 — so a late start leaves no room to manoeuvre.
- Judging. Entries are weighed against four stated criteria: how innovative the agent is, how technically complex it is, the business impact it could deliver, and how closely it aligns with enterprise use cases involving AI.
The hackathon is entirely virtual, so every stage — from registering to handing in the finished agent — is completed online.
