About the challenge

Agentic Hackathon is a nationwide hackathon for builders in Bangladesh. Teams start online, build useful AI-powered products with Devin, and the strongest projects move on to a focused in-person final at BRAC University in Dhaka.

The goal is simple: bring together capable builders from across the country and give them a clear path from idea to working product. Location should not be a barrier, so the first round happens online. Finalists then meet in Dhaka for a full day of building, learning, demos, judging, and awards.

How it works

  • Apply: form a team of 3 to 4 people, introduce yourselves, and share the problem you want to solve.
  • Build: use Devin during the online round to turn your idea into a working product.
  • Qualify: submit a clear demo and project notes. Judges select the strongest teams.
  • Meet in Dhaka: finalists join the in-person final at BRAC University.
