Push the boundaries of what AI agents can do and become.
As we know, OpenClaw is taking the AI world by storm with sovereign AI that runs locally, and even on browsers and phones. We’re seeing the supply for MacMini’s drying up, since users don’t really want to expose their real machines. What if I told you, now you can more securely keep OpenClaw in restricted mode and let it communicate with your apps in the outside world through an intermediary agent you build?
Auth0 for AI Agents provides the identity layer that lets your agents authenticate, authorize, and interact with APIs and services the way humans do.
For the Authorized to Act Hackathon, build anything – the only requirement is to build with Token Vault from Auth0 for AI Agents. Let Auth0 handle the OAuth flows, token management, and consent delegation so you can stay focused. Need async auth or step-up authentication? Leave that to Auth0 for AI Agents as well.
What will you create? A deeper integration into your users' digital lives that keeps them in control? A continuous agent that spans sub-agents like you’ve got tokens to burn?
Dive in and build the future!

Judging Criteria
-
Security Model
Does the agent operate within explicit permission boundaries? Are credentials protected and access properly scoped? Where applicable, are high-stakes actions identified and protected, and is step-up authentication used where it matters? -
User Control
Can users understand what permissions the agent has and how consent was granted? Are scopes and access boundaries clearly defined? -
Technical Execution
Does the project demonstrate quality implementation of Token Vault and related patterns? Is it production-aware? -
Design
Is the user experience and design of the project well thought out? Is there a balanced blend of frontend and backend in the software? -
Potential Impact
How big of an impact could the project have on the community of AI Developers? How big of an impact could it have beyond the target community? -
Insight Value
Does the submission surface useful patterns, pain points, or gaps that inform how agent authorization should evolve?
