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.

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:
- Project description — What problem does it solve? How does it work? Who is it for?
- Demo — A video walkthrough and/or live demo URL
- AI documentation — Which Agentic AI model/tool was used and how it works within your solution
- Source code — GitHub or equivalent repository (accessible to judges)
- 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)
