Universal hackathon: AI agents

Our team recently held an internal hackathon focused on AI agents, exploring how these emerging technologies can enhance our solutions and better serve our customers.

What are AI agents?

AI agents are autonomous systems that can:

  • Understand complex instructions
  • Break down tasks into steps
  • Execute actions independently
  • Learn and adapt over time

Our hackathon focus

During the hackathon, teams worked on various projects:

  • Customer support automation: AI agents that can handle common inquiries
  • Process optimization: Agents that identify inefficiencies in workflows
  • Integration helpers: Agents that connect disparate systems

What this means for our customers

The insights from this hackathon will help us:

  • Develop smarter automation solutions
  • Create more intuitive user experiences
  • Build tools that genuinely save time

Stay tuned for new features and capabilities inspired by this exploration!

Update: from hackathon to development pipeline

What started as an exploration has since grown into a product. With uDeliver you get your own development pipeline in which AI agents design, build and review software, while you approve every phase. It is the same pipeline Universal Cloud uses to build software every day. Would you rather have a website than your own software? Then take a look at uCompose.
