From declarative agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot to fully autonomous multi-agent systems orchestrating complex workflows, developers now have the power to redefine how work gets done. If you’re ready to push those boundaries, Agents League Hackathon 2026 is your stage.
What is Agents League?
Agents League is not just another hackathon—it’s a global playground for developers, makers, and architects to experiment with:
- Agent orchestration and multi-agent architectures
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and enterprise knowledge grounding
- Integrations with Microsoft 365, Copilot, and external systems
- Custom engine agents and advanced extensibility patterns
- The new Microsoft IQ as the context layer for the agentic web
Whether you’re building with pro-code tools (C#, TypeScript, SDKs) or leveraging low-code platforms like Copilot Studio, this is where innovation meets real-world impact.
Over $50,000 in Prizes
Yes—you read that right.
This year’s hackathon features over $50K in prizes, rewarding creativity, technical excellence, and business impact. Whether you’re crafting a smart assistant, an enterprise-grade workflow orchestrator, or an industry-specific agent solution, there’s a category for you.
Enterprise Agents Category
One of the most exciting tracks is Enterprise Agents—focused on solving real business challenges using AI-powered agents integrated with enterprise systems and the Microsoft 365 Copilot chat.
Live Battle Event (Don’t Miss It!)
📅 June 11 at 9:00 AM PT
Top solutions will be showcased in a live “battle” featuring an all-star panel:
- Abram Jackson – Principal Product Manager, Microsoft
- April Dunnam – Principal Cloud Advocate, Microsoft
- Sébastian Levert – Principal PM Architect, Microsoft
This is your chance to see cutting-edge enterprise agent solutions in action and learn directly from leaders shaping the future of AI.
Requirements for the Enterprise Agents Category
To compete in the Enterprise Agents category, your solution should address a real business scenario and demonstrate how AI agents can deliver tangible value in an organisational context. This includes integrating with enterprise systems like Microsoft 365 or external APIs, and leveraging grounded intelligence (for example, using enterprise data through RAG patterns) to provide accurate and context-aware responses.
All submissions must integrate at least one Microsoft IQ intelligence layer:
| Foundry IQ | Agentic knowledge retrieval for AI agents — connects multiple enterprise sources, enforces permissions, and delivers cited, grounded answers to reduce hallucination |
| Work IQ | The intelligence layer behind your organizational knowledge — builds memory from emails, meetings, chats, and documents to understand work context, people, and relationships |
| Fabric IQ | Semantic intelligence layer for Microsoft Fabric — uses ontologies and knowledge graphs to give business meaning to enterprise data, enabling AI agents to reason over real business concepts |
| Web IQ | Gives agents access to fresh, real-world intelligence from across the web – including web pages, news, images, and videos. |
Your submission should also showcase a clear agent architecture, reflect enterprise considerations such as security and responsible AI, and deliver a compelling user experience that highlights real-world impact—not just a demo, but a solution that could realistically be adopted in production.

WAIA – Whatever AI Assistant
Created by Microsoft MVP Franck Cornu, WAIA is a powerful demonstration of how AI agents can orchestrate knowledge, automate tasks, and deliver real value in enterprise scenarios.
This is a perfect example of what’s possible when creativity meets deep technical expertise.
