The results are in! We're excited to announce the winners of the AI Agents Intensive Course Writing Challenge.
The quality and depth of reflection across all submissions made judging a rewarding process. Participants shared their learning experiences, technical takeaways, and ambitious capstone projects. We couldn't help ourselves and ended up selecting five winners who captured the essence of the AI Agents Intensive Course with clarity, originality, and style.
Read on to see who they are!
Prizes
Our five winners will receive:
- DEV++ Membership
- Exclusive DEV Badge
All Participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge on their DEV profile.
About the Course
The 5-Day AI Agents Intensive course with Google is a hands-on program originally held live from November 10 - 14, 2025. It is now available as a self-paced Kaggle Learn guide so anyone can explore the foundations, architecture and practical development of AI agents.
This course was crafted by Google’s ML researchers and engineers to help developers explore the foundations and practical applications of AI agents. You’ll learn the core components – models, tools, orchestration, memory and evaluation. Finally, you’ll discover how agents move beyond LLM prototypes to become production-ready systems.
Each day blends conceptual deep dives with hands-on examples, codelabs, and live discussions. By the end, you’ll be ready to build, evaluate, and deploy agents that solve real-world problems.
What's next?
Join our "New Year, New You" Portfolio Challenge happening now through the end of the month!
Thank you to everyone who participated! We hope you enjoyed reflecting on your learning journey and sharing your experiences with the community. See you next time!

So excited to see 'Trajectory Is The Truth' recognized by the judges! 🦄 This challenge pushed me to define what being an Agent Architect really means. Huge thanks to Google AI and DEV for the platform. If anyone wants to discuss control planes or agent reliability, let's connect!
Huge congrats everyone! So excited to see the level of thoughtful submissions - and thank you all for participating in our AI Agents Intensive as well.
Hi, My name is Suzuki Ichiro and I’m an agency of a software company. I came across your profile and was really impressed by your work.
I’d love to connect and explore potential collaboration opportunities where our skills could complement each other. Whether it’s sharing knowledge, contributing to projects, or discussing ideas, I believe there’s a lot we could learn from each other.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Great to see so many thoughtful reflections and innovative projects from the AI Agents Intensive Course writing challenge! 🎉
It’s inspiring to see how developers are not just learning theory but sharing real insights and takeaways that benefit the whole community. Congratulations to all the winners! 👏
I’m curious — what was the most surprising lesson you all learned about building AI agents during the challenge?
Big congrats to all the winners 👏🏽
Every one of those pieces brought a different angle, and together they really show how wide the agent space already is — from architecture, to security, to very human learning journeys. Well deserved across the board.
Also, respect to the DEV + Google AI team for even creating the space in the first place. These challenges give people a real excuse to slow down, think deeply, and actually write about what they’re building — not just ship demos and move on.
Participation badge or not, I’m glad I took part. Competing alongside this kind of work is motivating, not discouraging. Looking forward to seeing where everyone takes their agent ideas next — and what comes out of the Portfolio Challenge too.
Congrats to all
