#AgentTime!
AI Hackathon 2025
What's This All About?
We're calling all you brilliant minds to team up, get creative, and build AI Agent solutions that'll totally transform how we do things and make our customers super happy.
Let's make some AI magic!
Think of AI Agents as intelligent helpers. They're computer programs that can learn from data, make choices, and take action to achieve specific goals, all without needing constant human guidance.
Example of an AI Agent: Imagine a Financial Multi-Agent that grabs data, pulls info from databases, and connects with other Agent Groups to create a super-smart system.
Example of a Non-AI Agent: A Chatbot that just spits out answers. Helpful, but not an Agent in our book.

Submission Closed
Your mission: Innovate and build AI Agent applications that achieve at least one of the following:
Solve business process pain points, improve or enhance existing business processes, and expand business scope.
Demonstrate quantifiable results, such as increased productivity, cost or time savings, or new value creation
Utilized a feasible technical architecture with proven effectiveness
Example of a AI Agent:
Imagine a Financial Multi-Agent that can automatically generate SQL code to retrieve data from multiple databases, seamlessly integrating with other Agent Groups to form a super-smart system. This intelligent agent not only handles data extraction and analysis but also learns from how humans collaborate and communicate across departments—enabling more effective and adaptive financial analysis.
Example of a Non-AI Agent:
A chatbot that just replies to questions when asked. Sure, it’s useful—but it doesn’t think for itself, take initiative, or connect with other systems to get things done. That’s why it doesn’t count as an AI Agent in this competition.

So, What's an AI Agent?
AI Agents are intelligent helpers—they learn from data, make decisions, and act toward goals without constant human input.
To meet this competition’s definition, an AI Agent must:
- "Make proactive decisions" based on context, without waiting for user commands.
- "Interact with environments", connecting to systems or data sources to complete multi-step tasks.
Example of a AI Agent:
Imagine a Financial Multi-Agent that auto-generates SQL to pull data from multiple databases and connects with other agents to form a smart system. It goes beyond data analysis—learning how humans collaborate to enable more adaptive financial insights.
Example of a Non-AI Agent:
A chatbot that just replies to questions when asked. Sure, it’s useful—but it doesn’t think for itself, take initiative, or connect with other systems to get things done. That’s why it doesn’t count as an AI Agent in this competition.

Free Idea Group
Participants choose their own case themes, from concept to implementation, with a final demo of their results. This group encourages creative ideas with a focus on practical technology and application innovation.
Enterprise Challenge Group
Joining this group means your AI Agent project should effectively improve one of Advantech’s key processes: TTM (Time to Market), OTD (On-Time Delivery), or ITR (Issue to Resolution). We also welcome projects that can shorten process cycles, improve efficiency, or increase satisfaction—whether it's for one or multiple of these performance indicators.

Can we use it? Can we make more of it? What do users think?
We Love Rewarding Innovation!
The works will be divided into five major areas: Sales & Marketing, R&D Engineering, SCM & Operation, Smart Manufacturing, and General Management (CoE). The number of awards may be vacant or adjusted upon decision by the jury in each field.
A+ Level Award
Certificate AND a massive NT$200,000 for the team, or NT$30,000 each!
A Level Award & Special Contribution Award
Certificate PLUS NT$100,000 for the team, or NT$20,000 each!
Promising Idea Award
Recognition for projects showing potential. Even if you don't grab the big one, we'll still celebrate your awesome ideas.
There is no difference in the awards for the Free Ideation Group and the Enterprise-assigned Group. The only difference is whether there is a pre-set submission theme.
