Join the Auth0 for AI Agents Challenge: $3,000 in Prizes!

Update: We've updated the submission deadline to October 26

We're excited to announce our newest challenge with Auth0, a leading authentication and authorization platform!

Running through October 26, the Auth0 for AI Agents Challenge invites you to ship AI agents with built-in auth and security. Auth0 enables your AI agents to more securely access your tools, workflows, and users’ data with fine-grained control and just a few lines of code.

Whether you're building your first AI agents or your hundredth, this challenge is the perfect opportunity to explore the intersection of identity management and artificial intelligence.

We hope you give it a try!

Our Prompt

Your mission is to build an agentic AI application using Auth0 for AI Agents.

Whether you're building conversational agents, autonomous systems, or intelligent automation tools, your AI agents need secure access to resources and services. Auth0 for AI will ensure you can:

  • Authenticate the user: Secure the human who is prompting the agent in the first place.
  • Control the tools: Manage which APIs your agent can call on the user's behalf with their Token Vault
  • Limit knowledge: Apply fine-grained authorization directly to your RAG pipelines.

Your submission should demonstrate how Auth0 for AI Agents enhances your application's security posture while enabling seamless interactions between AI agents and protected resources.

The most compelling submissions will showcase practical use cases where secure AI agent authentication solves real-world problems!

Prizes

We'll select three winners for this challenge. Each winner will receive:

All Participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge on their DEV profile.

Judging Criteria

Each submission will be judged on the following:

  • Use of underlying technology

hey @jess & @ben
could you please confirm the correct challenge tag?
the submission template doesn't include the auth0challenge tag, but the Auth0 for AI Agents Challenge submission list uses it dev.to/t/auth0challenge
