Requirements

What to Build 

Businesses worldwide are losing valuable time, money and opportunities because agreement data is trapped in inefficient systems, hindering decision-making and delaying processes, known as the Agreement Trap. To illustrate the agreement trap, if you send Terms and Conditions to 1,000 partners or customers annually, tracking expiration dates for renewals becomes a challenge. The key lies in the data within these agreements.

Hackathon developers should create solutions that enable businesses to streamline workflows and automate processes that maximize the value of their agreement data. Your challenge: develop a project that that addresses the agreement trap in one of the following categories:

  • AI-ify Your World - Use AI to unlock insights from your Docusign agreements and build innovative solutions.
  • Hack-for-Good - Build an innovative solution with Docusign's developer platform to help a non-profit achieve its mission.
  • Making the Impossible...Possible - Use Docusign technologies to code an innovative solution that tackles a seemingly impossible challenge.

Check out the Resources tab for ideas and inspiration around each category. Get started building - API IntegrationsExtension AppsAgreement Automation.
