What it is
This is where it started
Our first Gauntlet brought builders together to stress-test Agento in beta, reporting bugs and building real workflows that shaped the product. Now Agento launches officially, and we are opening the challenge to the world.
Build real solutions on Agento across five categories, with cash prizes and Forward Deployed Engineer internship offers for the top performers. Open to everyone, students or working professionals, from any background.
