📍 Event Details
Date: June 6, 2026
Time: 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Duration: 6 Hours
Hosted by Localhost in partnership with HydraDB.
🚀 The Challenge
Build an autonomous AI agent capable of completing tasks across a suite of everyday applications.
Your agent will be evaluated on AppWorld
🏆 Judging & Evaluation
Submissions will be evaluated through two checkpoints, occurring every 4 hours.
Ranking System
Agents are ranked by their raw AppWorld score at each checkpoint.
Final standings are determined using a weighted score across checkpoints.
Later checkpoints receive higher weighting, rewarding continuous progress while discouraging last-minute submissions.
The highest-performing final agent wins.
Bonus Points
Additional consideration will be given to teams that effectively integrate HydraDB into their agent architecture.
