Why This Matters to Our Clients

This hackathon isn't just internal team building — it's direct investment in AI capabilities that benefit YOUR projects.

💼

Real Problems, Real Solutions

Our engineers aren't building toy demos. They're solving actual pain points from client projects. The agents built here go straight into production for our clients.

⚡

Faster Delivery, Lower Costs

AI agents reduce repetitive work by 40-60%. What used to take hours now takes minutes. This means faster delivery and more value for your budget.

🔧

Built-In Quality & Documentation

Every agent includes clear documentation, defined KRAs, error handling, and logging. Production-ready from day one — no hacky throwaway code.

🎓

Our Teams Get Smarter

50+ engineers leveling up on AI agent architecture means YOUR projects get built by people who know how to leverage AI effectively.

📊

Measurable Results

We don't guess — we measure. Every agent has defined KPIs and success metrics. You'll see exactly what the agent delivers and how it's performing.

🚀

Future-Proof Your Projects

AI isn't coming — it's here. Working with a team that's already building production AI agents means your projects are ready for the future.

No spam, ever. We'll only contact you about your submission.

What We're Looking For

  • 🎯
    Real Problems

    Actual challenges you face — not hypothetical ideas

  • 🔄
    Repetitive Tasks

    Workflows that happen repeatedly — perfect for AI automation

  • 📊
    Measurable Impact

    Problems where the benefit is clear — time saved, costs reduced

  • ⚡
    AI-Friendly

    Tasks involving data, decisions, or multi-step workflows

Example Problems We've Solved:

  • "Customer support triage takes 2+ hours daily"
  • "Manual data entry between 3 systems — error-prone"
  • "Report generation pulls from 5 sources — every Monday"
  • "Lead qualification research — 30 min per lead"

Frequently Asked Questions

For Groovy Team Members

Who can participate?

Any Groovy Web team member — developers, QA, BAs, trainees. Form teams of up to 3 people from any project.

What should I build?

Build an autonomous AI agent that solves a real problem from your daily client project work. Focus on agents that do multi-step workflows: think, decide, act — no hand-holding.

What tools can I use?

We recommend Codex (ChatGPT Go), Antigravity (Gemini Pro), Opencode, Kilo Code — all free options available. Need something else? Let us know.

How are teams judged?

Four criteria: Client Project Impact (30%), Documentation & KRAs (20%), Agent Autonomy (20%), Presentation & Demo (30%).

Is this during work hours?

Part-time format: hackathon runs 4-9 PM Thu-Fri, regular work continues 9 AM - 4 PM. Demos are Saturday evening.

Can I work from home?

Yes — hybrid format. Join in person for energy, or work remotely. Just make sure your demo works on Saturday.

For Clients & Leads

Do I need to be a Groovy Web client?

No! Anyone can submit a problem. If selected, you get a free proof-of-concept AI agent — no strings attached.

What kind of problems should I submit?

Repetitive tasks, manual workflows, data processing — anything that follows patterns and could benefit from AI automation.

What if my idea isn't selected?

We'll keep your submission for future hackathons. You can also schedule a call to discuss how we can help directly.

Do I own the resulting AI agent?

Yes — if your problem is selected, you get the code, documentation, and full ownership of the agent.

How long does it take?

The hackathon runs 48 hours. You'll have a working prototype by Sunday evening — complete with documentation.

What if I want to expand the agent later?

The prototype is yours to keep. If you want to develop it further, we're happy to discuss a project engagement.
