Autonomous agents doing real work for 90+ days.

Deadline to be announcedImpact re-checked at 12 months

The category

What deserves recognition?

For teams that have moved autonomous agents beyond a demo and into everyday operations. Show what your agents do, when people need to intervene, and what happens when things go wrong.

Evidence to prepare

  • Dated deployment records covering at least 90 days of real operation
  • Task volumes and human intervention logs, with a clear definition of a completed task
  • Cost breakdowns and incident records, compared with the previous workflow

Supporting evidence can be self-reported, customer-attested or independently audited. Stronger proof carries more confidence.
