Nov 12, 2026
The Open Agentic Web Challenge invites developers to create publicly accessible AI agents and technologies for agent discovery, identity, transactions and coordination.

World Wide Agentic Web launches the Open Agentic Web Challenge, according to an announcement from the initiative. The global contest offers $13,000 for projects that support an open and interoperable web of AI agents.

Developers, researchers, startups, businesses and students can submit publicly accessible agentic websites or technologies that help agents discover, identify and work with one another. The contest runs on DevPost through January 11, 2027, with winners due to be announced during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos later that month.

Participants can build with existing web technologies such as HTML and JavaScript. Optional starting points include MIT Media Lab's NANDA Web Agentica and NandaIndex, Cognizant's Neuro San framework for coordinating multiple agents, and Mozilla's Otari model router. The challenge also covers identity, transactions, portable agent programs and governance.
