ABOUT AGENTRIX 2026

National-Level AI Development Hackathon.

AgenTrix 2026 is a national-level AI development hackathon where talented undergraduate students from universities across Sri Lanka design and develop next-generation AI systems — including AI Agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, and autonomous multi-step AI applications.

Unlike conventional hackathons, AgenTrix incorporates a unique multi-stage evaluation: Code Authenticity Defense, Industry Code Review, and a Shark Tank Grande Finale — bringing industry and the next generation of AI engineers together.

How It Works

PHASE_01

12-Hour Overnight Hackathon

6:00 PM – 6:00 AM. Teams build their Agentic AI solutions on-site at the faculty. Repositories are completely frozen at the exact 12-hour mark following strict interim and final submission deadlines.

PHASE_02

Online Code Review & Technical Defense

Starting 2 days after the hackathon over a 2-week period. Industry professionals conduct code reviews, and teams must defend their code logic, API integrations, state management, and AI workflows.

PHASE_03

Grand Finale — Shark Tank Pitch

The Top 10 teams advance to an in-person, Shark Tank-style live pitch. Teams present their completed products to an evaluation panel, focusing heavily on innovation and commercial viability.

GUIDELINES

AGENTRIX_2026 // REV_1.0

GL-01

Team Quotas & Registration

Strictly for currently enrolled undergraduate students from recognized universities (graduated professionals are not permitted).
Teams must consist of 3 to 5 members.
Maximum of 40 full teams accepted: 16 slots (40%) for University of Ruhuna and 24 slots (60%) for other universities.
Slots are strictly allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

GL-02

The 12-Hour Timeline & Submissions

Domains Drop: The domains are revealed exactly when the hackathon starts. Research your domain, identify a real-world problem, design a solution, and create your GitHub repo (not before).
2-Hour Mark (Interim Submission): Submit your problem statement, chosen domain, solution outline, and plan for AI application.
11-Hour Mark (Final Deliverables): Submit a 1 to 2-minute Demo Video (no audio required) and a Project Report (ER, Architecture, and Use-case diagrams).
12-Hour Mark (The Finish Line): Make your final commits and push fully working code. Repositories are 100% frozen after this. All members must remain on-site for the full 12 hours.

GL-03

Strict Coding Rules

Build It Fresh: No old projects or pre-built enterprise code. You must build it during the 12 hours.
Free AI Only: You can only use the free tiers of AI models (like Gemini free tier). Paid models mean disqualification.
Commit Often: We monitor Git history. Use standard, meaningful commit messages throughout.
To continue polishing your code for the Grand Finale, you must create a brand new, separate repository. The 12-hour repo must stay untouched.

GL-04

Fair Play & Evaluation

You own 100% of your IP (Intellectual Property)—meaning the code, ideas, and solutions you build belong entirely to your team.
Online Code Reviews: Missing your scheduled online review without prior notice to ComES results in disqualification.
Technical Defense: Be ready to explain your logic, state management, API integrations, and AI workflows to prove it is your code.
Cheating or plagiarism will result in immediate disqualification.
