Update: Hackathon extended from 5pm PST until 11:45pm PST and Public Project Links to Demo Required

Hi Everyone,

Two things... First, several people have asked for extensions. We cannot give days, but we have extended from 5pm PST until 11:45pm PST so that those who are close have some additional time to get submissions in. Second, publicly accessible links to your demo are required by rule. I mentioned to two or three people that live demo links are not required if there's a github project with build instructions. That was incorrect. Hopefully deploying is feasible with the extra time.

Lastly, make share you've shared your Auth0 tenant names from the dashboard if you haven't.

Auth0 Tenant Names Needed

Hi Everyone!

The hackathon is winding down quickly. Thank you for participating! We have so many great projects!

If you have already submitted your project, and have not provided the tenant name yet, please do one of the following:

add it to your submission; or
email it to fred.patton@okta.com along with your submissions link; or
provide it with your feedback survey submission (10 prizes will be awarded, see rules for details, you can submit even without a completed hackathon project, because we'd love to hear from everyone)

Some of you have asked for deadline extensions. No promises, but I will…

Enabling of CIBA and Token Vault for Tenants Is Not Needed

Hi Everyone,

I am seeing a sudden surge of requests to enable Token Vault and CIBA on people's tenant. It seems there is some confusing error messaging. These are both features that can be configured with the free Auth0 account within the dashboard.

For Configuring Token Vault, here are the steps:

For CIBA, this is the info page:
- https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/authentication-and-authorization-flow/client-initiated-backchannel-authentication-flow

Hopefully no one gets blocked for too long. The discord channel has threads on these same issues as well:

Week 3 Welcome

Hi Everyone,

22 days left! We'll be giving a Discord Workshop session on Wednesday, March 25th at 1 PM PST, details to come. Yesterday AI+ Renaissance happened, and I think there were some nice intersections with the subject area of our hackathon, things like local data wallets, hardware devices, and scaling AI delegation to increase autonomy and reduce unproductive friction. Happy to discuss in the Discord channel.

We're certainly growing! We're at 1,060 registered participants and are starting to see some compelling submissions — which is what it's all about, right? Well, networking matters too, so don't forget to check…

Let's go!

Hi everyone. Let's kick things off, shall we? This is a wide-open hackathon. We want to constrain your projects as little as possible, because there are too many exciting trails to blaze and we want you to build what you're most passionate about. The one constraint: your project must use Token Vault, Auth0 for AI Agents' tool calling feature.

Autonomous Agents. We're well past the era when agents chiefly answered questions. Thanks to OpenClaw and derivatives like NanoClaw, they're no longer just performing actions when prompted. They're acting autonomously, with little to no guidance from you.
