IPAGE GROUP BUSINESS AUTOMATION CHALLENGE 2026

15-Day Live Automation Hackathon

Build. Automate. Publish. Measure.

Build real business automation solutions, work on live use cases, demonstrate your AI and development skills, and compete for an opportunity to work on real projects with IPAGE Group and Dev AI Labs.

About the challenge

Not Just Another Coding Test

This challenge evaluates candidates based on practical execution rather than theoretical coding tests. Participants will work on real-world business automation problems and will be evaluated on:

  • Problem solving
  • Development quality
  • AI integration
  • API integration
  • Automation design
  • User experience
  • Reliability
  • Documentation
  • Speed of execution
  • Ability to build production ready solutions

The hackathon is designed to identify talented AI engineers, automation developers, full stack developers and technology enthusiasts by testing how they build practical business automation in a live environment.

The challenge

From Source to Measured Results
