About this event

BitGN ECOM1 Agent Challenge — Lisbon Hub

Can your AI agents survive operational stress-testing?

BitGN ECOM1 is a global agentic competition. We build agentic systems handling e-commerce tasks: product discovery, cart, checkout, payments, fraud, merchant operations, returns, and customer support.

Compete with thousands of global talents, one leaderboard. Stop talking about AI, come and test your skills.

We are running the Lisbon hub on the final sprint day. Meet fellow builders, learn and share with the strongest AI builders in the city. Cool ambiance, free food and drinks, and more importantly: real prizes.

2,000 EUR pool in the room. In-person submissions only.

Please complete your registration on LUMA https://luma.com/so5owa09?tk=2xxAuQ to be able to attend. We have limited seats.

👥 Who's in the room

• Builders, not spectators. Everyone here is submitting a real run on the day.
• Different stacks, same drive. AI engineers, ML and software engineers, and AI builders. One thing in common: genuine curiosity.
• Hosts on the floor. Working engineers and scientists, not speakers. Ask anything.
• A working starter kit. Sample agent in Python, model swappable. Fork-and-submit baseline is realistic in a single day if you arrived without one.
