Groundbreaking Business Transformation on Display at TDX Agentforce Hackathon

This week at TDX 2025, over 6,000 Agentblazers gathered in San Francisco to explore the agentic AI era. At the heart of this annual two-day developer conference was the Agentforce Hackathon, where admins, developers, architects, consultants, IT managers, and business analysts built tangible AI solutions. 

Using Salesforce’s low-code, AI-powered Agent Builder, hundreds of Agentblazers crafted custom agents and actions, directly addressing defined business challenges and showcasing the platform’s ability to rapidly deploy AI-powered workflows.  

On the line? A $100,000 grand prize, awarded to the team that delivered the most compelling technological solution.

Winning would be no easy feat: ‌World Tour NYC Agentforce Hackathon champions Team 4D’S were back to defend their title. At that event, 4D’S helped develop PeopleForce, an employee engagement tool powered by Agentforce, Salesforce’s digital labor platform for deploying autonomous AI agents in the flow of work. It simplifies creating events, finding interested employees, scheduling, logging expenses, and managing other HR tasks to help companies foster meaningful employee connections effortlessly. 

But the other TDX teams were ready, collaborating to quickly turn agentic concepts into reality, building groundbreaking agents, and deeply exploring what’s possible with Agentforce. They brainstormed, designed, and built agents for everything from job recruiting to more connected event networking and automating expense management. 

There were apps built for multiple industries, and even stages of life. One such hack showcased the possibilities of helping people with retirement:

2 days. Hundreds of Agentblazers. $100K on the line.

Ultimately, there could only be one winner. Team Agent Halo’s Joseph Kubon, Christopher Easter, Vanessa Thomas, Zachary Banks, and Janeen Marquardt are all Salesforce MVPs and Golden Hoodie winners. Together, they created an Agent Networks agent that seamlessly connects multiple organizations — insurers, repair shops, and emergency responders‌ — ‌eliminating delays and frustration. 

Architecting a unified service ecosystem will not only deliver hyperpersonalized customer journeys, but also drive adoption of Salesforce Service Cloud, Data Cloud, and Agentforce, he explained.

“Eventually everyone’s individual agents are going to need to talk to one another across the whole value chain,” Kubon shared at TDX.

Several other teams would also be recognized in categories ranging from the most creative to best delivery, most impactful, best use of Slack, and even People’s Choice.
