The core idea
We don't ask you to dream up a new idea from scratch. Bring the experience you already have — real industry experience, a long-observed problem, a repeatedly-validated method — and turn it into your first Agentic Service in 2 hours. The only question that matters: can AI let work that only you could do before begin to run autonomously and deliver continuously?
What can you build?
Anything that advances the One Person Company vision: AI agents, autonomous workflows, productivity tools, or end-to-end Agentic Services. Start from the industry experience, expertise, and judgment you already have.

Eligibility & Team Rules

  • Age: At least 16 years old. Participants under 18 must obtain explicit consent from a legal guardian and provide the guardian's details at registration.
  • Team size: Solo or small teams. Solo entry is very welcome — this is a One Person Company hackasprint, after all.
  • Representative: Each project appoints one representative, responsible for the submission and the pitch.
  • One entry per person: Participating under multiple identities, or submitting repeatedly by any means, leads to disqualification.
  • Geographic restrictions: You must reside in a jurisdiction where the event may legally be offered, must not be on any sanctions list, and must not be a Politically Exposed Person (PEP). See the Official Rules for details.

Challenge & Requirements

Build anything that advances the One Person Company vision: AI agents, autonomous workflows, productivity tools, or end-to-end Agentic Services. Projects should revolve around the theme — building the next-generation One Person Company with Agentic Service — starting from your own industry experience, expertise, and judgment.

Open source & AI tools
  • Any programming language and open-source library is allowed, provided you comply with its license and credit the source and author in your submission.
  • Generative AI tools are allowed — code assistants (e.g. Claude, GitHub Copilot), chatbots, and image generators. But do not feed personal, confidential, or restricted information into AI tools; doing so risks disqualification, and you bear the consequences.
  • If anyone helped or contributed to your work, you must credit them in the submission.
  • Do not use content that infringes third-party rights (privacy, personal rights, IP, copyright) unless you are authorized or the content is permitted under an open-source license.
05

Submission Requirements

Where
The official submission portal on OpenArena — submit here
Who
Submitted by the project representative.
When
At the end of the core build phase, via the on-site designated method.
Your submission must include
  • A runnable prototype;
  • A project name and brief description — what problem it solves, what roles the AI plays, and how it runs;
  • A demo (if applicable);
  • Credits for all contributors, open-source repositories, and third-party assets.
You don't need to ship a complete product — but you do need to show how AI genuinely amplified your experience.
06

Roadshow & Judging

Judging runs two parallel tracks: the Judge Track and the Public Vote Track.

  • Judge Track: Judges enter their assigned project zones for in-depth discussion and evaluation. Each judge picks the 2 best projects among the ones they cover, forming a first-round shortlist; the judge team then discusses and ranks the candidates — weighing innovation, real value, completeness, and Agentic Service potential — to select 9 projects into the Top 10.
  • Public Vote Track: On-site attendees roam the project zones, chat with builders, and vote online for their favorite. The single highest-voted project earns 1 Top 10 slot as the People's Choice. The AI judging results also serve as an auxiliary reference, giving judges an extra dimension of insight.
Final Top 10 = 9 judge-selected projects + 1 public-voted project. The champion is decided by the judges after deliberation.
Judging criteria
  • Real experience: Is the Agentic Service built on real industry experience?
  • Sound logic: Do the problem it solves and the service logic hold up?
  • Real AI impact: Does the AI genuinely improve efficiency, capability, or delivery scale?
  • Is AI necessary: Is the AI an indispensable core, or mere decoration?
  • Autonomous operation: Can work that used to depend on an individual now run autonomously?

We are a builder community from diverse backgrounds — please respect that diversity. In short:

  • No harassment, hate, or abuse. Abusive, threatening, hateful, or potentially offensive content will be removed and may lead to disqualification.
  • No illegal, sexual, or excessively violent content.
  • Participate honestly. Represent yourself and your project truthfully in your submission and all event communications.

The organizers reserve the right to remove violating content, reject registrations, and disqualify any violating individual or project.
