The February 2026 Microsoft AI Power Days Agent-a-thon brought together builders from around the world with one shared goal—to turn ideas into working AI agents that solve real problems. From first-time builders to advanced practitioners, the creativity, ambition, and practical impact on display exceeded all expectations.

Over the course of the Agent-a-thon, participants explored what’s possible with agentic AI—learning, building, and iterating using Microsoft agent-building tools. The result? A powerful showcase of agents designed to streamline work, unlock insights, and reimagine how work gets done.

Congratulations to the 12 Agent-a-thon grand prize winners!

The winning submissions were selected based on innovation, usability, and impact.

• Innovation. These newly created agents go beyond replicating demos. Each winner tackled a real problem in a novel way—applying agentic AI creatively to scenarios we hadn’t seen before.


• Usability. Winners demonstrated that their agents are not only functional but also genuinely loved by users. Builders tested their ideas, gathered peer or user feedback, and iterated—showing clear evidence of why people would continue to use these agents in real-world settings.


• Impact. Every winning agent delivered measurable value. Whether saving meaningful amounts of time, improving efficiency or productivity, increasing revenue potential, or enhancing customer satisfaction, these agents showed clear qualitative or quantitative results.

Together, these submissions represent what great agent-building looks like in practice—and how those agents can translate into practical impact right away.

Grand prize winners

To recognize their achievement and support their continued journey as an AI builder, each grand prize winner will receive a Microsoft Surface Pro.

Whether built with Agent Builder in Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Copilot Studio, or Microsoft Foundry, each agent reflects a clear job to be done and a strong understanding of how agentic AI can create real-world benefits.

Winner spotlight

One of the most rewarding aspects of the Agent-a-thon was hearing directly from participants about what they built and the difference that their new agents can make.

“I built a four‑agent pipeline on Microsoft Foundry that monitors Spain’s public procurement platform, scores tenders against our company profile, and generates a populated proposal document end‑to‑end in under two minutes… The multi‑agent architecture mapped to how BD [business development] teams actually work: one agent per role.”

—David Díaz Merino, AI Solution Architect, creator of LicitaAI

This sentiment captures what the Agent-a-thon is all about—lowering the barriers to building, empowering experimentation, and helping people to realize that they can be capable AI creators, regardless of their starting point and skill level.

Again, congratulations to all of our winners, and thank you to everyone who joined us in exploring what’s possible and driving innovation, one agent at a time.
