Agentic AI Build Week is Southeast Asia's largest on-site AI buildathon — 2,000+ builders, 10 enterprise partners, and the full AI stack in one room for five days in Ho Chi Minh City.

This is not a traditional hackathon. Every challenge comes from a real enterprise partner. Every winning solution enters an active deployment conversation on Demo Day. Enterprises aren't here to judge you — they're here to find solutions they can ship.

Organised by GenAI Fund — Southeast Asia's builder ecosystem.

🛠️ Builder Experience Track

Build an AI-powered tool that makes the builder experience better during Agentic AI Build Week itself.

Agentic AI Build Week brings together 2,000+ builders across workshops, venues, mentors, deadlines, perks, and Demo Day. The challenge is simple: create an AI agent, workflow, copilot, or experience that helps builders navigate the week more effectively and get more value from the event.

  • Discover relevant workshops and resources
  • Navigate venues and schedules
  • Track deadlines and submissions
  • Access perks and support
  • Connect with mentors
  • Stay informed throughout the week

Winning projects won't just receive prizes — they'll be considered for deployment during Agentic AI Build Week and used by thousands of builders.

Prize
  • 🏆 Winner: $900 USD + official AABW T-shirt

Requirements

What to build

Build an agentic AI solution that addresses the problem statement for your chosen sponsored track. Your solution must use an Agentic AI model or tool as a core component — not just as a supporting feature.

Problem statements are released on 1 July 2026. Tracks must be confirmed on Devpost by 10 July, 9:00 PM (ICT).

Your submission must include:

  1. Project description — What problem does it solve? How does it work? Who is it for?
  2. Demo — A video walkthrough and/or live demo URL
  3. AI documentation — Which Agentic AI model/tool was used and how it works within your solution
  4. Source code — GitHub or equivalent repository (accessible to judges)
  5. Track — The sponsored track your solution was built for

Make your submission easy to understand. A strong idea with a weak submission will lose to a clear project that judges can evaluate quickly.

 

Deadline: 12 July 2026, 9:00 AM (Hanoi / ICT, UTC+7)
