That's a wrap — submissions are locked and judging is underway
The deadline has passed and submissions to the All Things Agentic Hackathon are officially locked. If you got your agent in — genuinely, nice work. Building something autonomous on a four-week deadline, while holding down a job, a life, and probably a few too many browser tabs, is no small thing.
🔒 What "locked" means
Your submission is now frozen exactly as you left it, and that's a good thing — everyone is on equal footing from here. Don't edit your code repo, replace your video, or change any linked materials until after winners are announced. Even a…

Final call for submissions
Submissions are due August 31 at 5:00 PM PT.
🚨 Don't leave your upload to the last minute.
Video files are large and internet connections are unpredictable — YouTube and Vimeo can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to process an upload, and that's before you paste the link into your submission. Get your video uploaded today, even if you keep polishing everything else right up to the deadline.
You can update your submission form as many times as you need to, right up until the clock hits zero. But the moment the deadline passes, everything…

Google Cloud Credits Update — New Batch Going Out Monday
Hi everyone,
A quick update on Google Cloud credit requests. Credit delivery is taking longer than expected to process, and we're sorry for the wait. The good news is we expect the next batch of credits to go out on Monday.
A couple of reminders while you wait:
Every request receives a reply, whether it's approved or declined. There's no need to submit the form again in the meantime, so please hold off on filing another request unless you've received a denial.
If you're waiting and confident you're eligible, please check your email on Monday, late afternoon, and take a…

Give your project a self-check (pro tips inside)
Submissions are due August 31 at 5:00 PM PT. The smartest move right now is to finish early and run your own check against what a complete submission needs.
One thing to know before you decide where to spend the next two weeks: judges aren't required to download or run your project. They may score entirely from your video, your text description, and your repo. Put your effort where they'll actually look.
🎬 Demo video — the piece judges weigh most
Capped at 4 minutes (only the first four are evaluated), publicly visible on YouTube or Vimeo, and in English…

Find your crew (or fly solo) — how's your agent coming along?
Hi there,
Whether you've already started building or you're still sketching ideas, this is a good moment to get connected. You can enter as an individual, a team, or on behalf of an organization — and the right teammate or a quick answer from the community can save you a weekend.

How to Plan your Project
Hi there,
Your Starter Kit has the requirements, the tracks, and what to submit. This one's about something else: how to pace four weeks so you actually finish.
📅 Give yourself a schedule
A little planning goes a long way. Here's a rough timeline that leaves room for the parts people underestimate:
-
⛈️ Brainstorm — this week
-
💡 Pick your idea and your track — by Aug 7
-
📐 Sketch your architecture — by Aug 10 (yes, before you build; it's a required submission item anyway, and drawing it early surfaces the gaps)
-
🧰 Start building — Aug 10
