What is Agentforge?
Agentforge is a global hackathon where innovators, developers, and creators build the next generation of AI agents — intelligent systems that take actions, solve problems, and make decisions autonomously.
Whether you're crafting an enterprise AI assistant, a research bot, or an agent that redefines productivity, this is your playground.
💡 Your Mission
Create an AI agent that:
- Operates with autonomy or semi-autonomous
- Solves a meaningful problem or use case
- Uses APIs, plugins, tools, or multi-step logic
- Goes beyond basic chat — think orchestration, not just conversation
You can build:
- Personal productivity copilots
- Agents that coordinate tasks across tools
- Business workflow automators
- Education, mental health, or social impact bots
Or something totally wild (we love that)
🛠️ Technologies You Can Use
You're free to use any tech stack you like! Some recommended options:
- Microsoft Copilot Studio
- LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen
- OpenAI, Azure AI, Anthropic
- Power Platform, Zapier, Make.com
- Custom LLMs, embeddings, vector databases
No restrictions on frameworks, libraries, or APIs.
