TRON Agentic AI Hackathon: Turning Ideas into Production-Ready Solutions

The future belongs to builders, not theorists teams who prototype fearlessly, iterate rapidly and deliver solutions that create measurable impact. That is exactly what happened at Tarento's TRON Agentic AI Hackathon, where over 50 innovators came together with one goal: create innovative solutions that solve authentic enterprise challenges.

The Challenge: Solve Real Business Problems

TRON challenged participants to build systems that matter by delivering production-ready solutions addressing real friction points in business operations. Teams were free to tackle any business problem, using whatever technology, methodology, or approach they believed would deliver results.

Event at a Glance

• 50+ participants across 20+ teams
• Cross-functional collaboration: developers, strategists, designers, domain experts
• Open challenge: Solve any real business problem
• Outcome: 3 winning solutions + 5 recognition awards

🏆 Meet the Winners: Three Innovative Approaches to Enterprise Challenges

🥇 First Place: QUADCREW – RFP Pro

Intelligent automation for RFP response management

The Problem statement

Responding to Requests for Proposals is one of the most time-intensive activities in enterprise sales. Teams spend days or weeks:

Analyzing requirements and evaluation criteria, coordinating across departments, pulling together relevant content, crafting customized responses. Strategic talent gets consumed by document assembly instead of focusing on client relationships and winning strategy.

The Solution

QUADCREW built RFP Pro, an intelligent system that automates the RFP response lifecycle using AI and human-in-the-loop validation.

How it works:

• Analyzes RFP requirements automatically
• Retrieves relevant content from knowledge bases
• Drafts contextually appropriate responses
• Routes sections to subject matter experts for validation

The Impact

60–70% reduction in RFP writing time, enabling teams to focus on strategy and win quality rather than document production.

What made it stand out: Judges recognized the sophisticated approach to human-technology collaboration. Rather than attempting full automation, the solution integrates human validation at critical decision points, amplifying human capability.

🥈 First Runner-Up: CORE – Centralized Orchestration and Routing Engine

Unified platform for enterprise technology orchestration

The Problem statement

As enterprises rapidly adopt new technologies and tools, they are creating fragmented landscapes:

Multiple systems deployed across departments, tools operating in silos, growing challenges around governance, cost optimization, and compliance, with IT leaders struggling to maintain visibility and control.

The Solution

CORE is a centralized orchestration and routing platform that unifies multi-purpose tools and systems into a governed, scalable enterprise infrastructure.

Key capabilities:

• Centralized management across the organization
• Intelligent routing to optimal systems based on task requirements
• Cost optimization and usage analytics
• Enterprise-grade governance, security, and audit capabilities

The Impact

CORE transforms disparate technology experiments into a scalable, governed enterprise infrastructure. Organizations can deploy tools at scale while maintaining control, optimizing costs, and ensuring compliance.

Strategic importance: The platform addresses the growing need for unified infrastructure as technology deployments multiply and become mission-critical.

🥉 Second Runner-Up: AGENTS 007 – Zero-Touch Expense Management

Automated system for instant expense processing

The Problem statement

Employee expense reimbursement frustrates everyone involved:

• Employees photograph receipts, fill out forms, and wait for approval
• Managers review stacks of submissions and send back corrections
• Finance teams reconcile expenses against corporate cards and bank statements

The process is manual, slow, error-prone, and universally disliked.

The Solution

AGENTS 007 is a multi-agent expense management system that automates reimbursements end to end, enabling zero-touch processing with near-instant approvals using intelligent automation and hybrid OCR.

The system:

• Hybrid OCR technology captures receipt data with high accuracy
• Validation checks expenses against policy rules
• Anomaly detection flags unusual patterns for review
• Smart routing directs approvals to appropriate reviewers
• Financial integration enables automatic reimbursement

The Impact

Near-instant approvals with minimal human intervention for standard expenses.

The employee experience shifts from submit and wait to automatic processing. Finance teams move from transaction processing to exception handling and strategic financial management.

🎉 Celebrating Innovation and Collaboration

Beyond the top three winners, TRON recognized the exceptional work of all participating teams.

Special Recognition Awards

The TRON Difference: Why We Conduct Hackathons

"Time is limited. Guidelines are light. Ownership is fluid. Pressure does not change behavior. It reveals it. The hackathon brought together perspectives that do not typically intersect in daily work, enabling fresh thinking about persistent business problems."
~ Excerpts from Vijay on leadership, transformation, and building impact at scale

🚀 From Hackathon to Production: What Comes Next

The momentum does not stop here. Several solutions built during the hackathon are already moving into execution, translating innovation into real impact.

This production pathway ensures that the energy, creativity, and problem-solving demonstrated during TRON translates into tangible outcomes for clients and Tarento's operations.
