AWS launches AI agent marketplace with a hackathon and $100k in prizes for developers


SuperOps and AWS have a new initiative for businesses struggling to practically implement agents.

AWS debuted a similar virtual marketplace of its own for enterprise customers last month, featuring agents from developers like Anthropic, IBM, Perplexity, and others. The educational effort is well-timed: a recent survey found that while the majority (84%) of IT organizations are actively deploying AI agents, a relatively small percentage of them (44%) have any kind of oversight policies in place to monitor their behavior. The companies are kicking off the launch of the new marketplace with a "SuperHack Hackathon" competition, challenging developers "to build autonomous agents for real-world IT use cases," according to a press release.
