Are you a problem solver within your team or organization? Do you often come with innovative solutions for any business problems that come across? Do you think you can improve the existing business processes using UiPath?
UiPath Community opens the playground to bring together automation enthusiasts, innovators, RPA developers, analysts, testers to showcase your Digital Automation skills and innovations on a global stage. Identify any business problems that you believe can be solved with UiPath and register yourself/team with your solution to that problem using any of the categories mentioned below.
📌 Category 1: UiPath Apps
UiPath Apps is a web-based, drag-and-drop business application studio that enables RPA Developers to build and deploy `enterprise-grade applications that deliver rich and engaging end-user experiences.
Challenge 1: We challenge you to automate any of your business processes with UiPath Apps using either/or both of Data Service & Process.
If you are planning to use Apps prominently, you should build:
- An interface on top of attended/unattended process
- A modern app that replaces and streamlines existing legacy work/systems with a combination of Data Service as backend and Apps as frontend system.
- A single interface layer which hides the complexity of multiple underlying systems.
- Consider scenarios leveraging the new Integration Service functionality (in preview)
If you are planning to use Data Service prominently, a good sample solution would be:
- To show how Data Service can reduce the number of variables that are needed to work within Studio and allow rich inter-workflow scenarios
- Store, manage, and integrate data in automation solutions using Data Service instead of local files or file shares or SharePoint.
- To show how Data Service can act as single source of truth (data integrity) when supporting multiple (two or more) processes and apps.

📌 Category 2: Test Automation
Test automation is the process of automating testing, saving time and resources, and ensuring quality. It's a vital part of software development and testing. Join Test Automation category using UiPath Test Suite, where you can showcase your skillset in test automation, design, quality assurance, and more!
This category is for anyone who loves Quality Assurance and testing. We want to see your best work!
UiPath Test Suite has 4 key themes:
- Strong RPA Foundation – UiPath brings its RPA core capabilities to the application testing world
- Open Architecture – UiPath Test Suite integrates with a variety of Test Management and CI/CD tools natively, but also has an API for both Test Manager and Orchestrator allowing users to build their own integrations
- Interoperability – UiPath can interact with all types of applications from SAP to Mainframe to Citrix environments
- Platform Integrations – in addition to the 4 key components (Test Manager, Studio, Orchestrator, Test Robots), UiPath Test Suite currently seamlessly integrates with Task Capture and Data Service.
Challenge 2: Your Hackathon project should tie to one or more of the UiPath Test Suite key themes.

📌 Category 3: General (Use at least 2)
We challenge you to use at least 2 of the following tools to build your solution to solve a relevant business problem. It can be an out-of-the-box automation designed to benefit every employee at your organization or a unique personal assistant/automation.
You'll develop end-to-end solutions that stretch the boundaries of how the UiPath platform is leveraged to solve real-world, impactful challenges. You can also use UiPath partner technologies to supplement your automation ideas, e.g. Chatbots, APIs etc.
