Show us and win.
Show us one real way you're using AI agents or automated workflows to make your work better. Two minutes of screen recording, one idea, and you could win a โฌ1,000 travel voucher. Solo or duo. Six companies. Every role welcome.
SUBMIT YOUR IDEAWe're looking for real AI agents and automated workflows โ not just chatbot conversations. Show us how AI does the work alongside you. Screen recording is perfect.
Think of one way an AI agent or automated workflow has helped (or could help) you or your team do your work better. We're looking for AI that does the work โ not just answers questions.
Enter alone or as a duo โ maximum 2 people per team. Pick someone from your own company.
Record your screen showing the agent or workflow in action. Walk us through: what it does, how it runs, and what the impact is. Screen recording + voiceover is ideal โ no editing required.
Fill in the form, upload your video, and you're in. The jury reviews all submissions across the six companies and picks three winners.
We're looking for AI that works alongside you โ from a simple automation to a full agentic workflow. Here's the kind of thing we mean.
Use Granola or a similar tool to record meetings, auto-generate structured notes, action items, and follow-up emails โ then share them with your team in one click.
AI reads your incoming emails, drafts context-aware replies in your tone, and queues them for your review. You just hit send.
An AI that drafts personalized responses to every Google or social media review โ positive or negative โ in the right tone and language. One minute per review instead of ten.
A workflow that monitors cancellations, identifies suitable patients from the waitlist, and sends rebooking messages automatically โ no manual phone calls.
Paste a job profile, feed in a batch of CVs, and get a ranked shortlist with a one-paragraph summary per candidate. Hours of work in minutes.
Take one piece of content โ a blog post, an announcement, a photo โ and let AI generate versions for Instagram, LinkedIn, and newsletters, ready to schedule.
Pull yesterday's sales, appointments, or KPIs from your tools, and have AI summarize them into a clean morning briefing for your team โ delivered automatically.
Customer writes in French, you respond in Italian โ AI translates communications back and forth while keeping the tone professional and natural.
An AI agent that reads incoming invoices, extracts line items, matches them to purchase orders, and flags discrepancies โ no manual data entry.
A workflow that monitors inventory levels, predicts demand from historical data, and generates purchase orders before you run out.
A multi-step agent that collects patient details, verifies insurance, pre-fills medical history forms, books the first appointment, and sends a welcome pack โ fully automated from intake to confirmation.
All of these count. We're not looking for the most complex โ we're looking for the most useful.
Watch how others have built AI workflows that work:
Each of our 3 winning teams receives a โฌ1,000 travel voucher โ go wherever you want, whenever you want.
Short answer: everyone. Long answer:
Every permanent employee across all six companies โ Bludental, Tom & Co, Nesto, Faceland, The Climbing Hangar, and Boulders. Every function, every level. Store staff, clinical teams, vets, nurses, field, HQ.
Teams of any size can enter โ solo, duo, or a full department. The prize (โฌ1,000 travel voucher) goes to the team regardless of size. Multiple teams from the same department can enter separately, and the same team can submit multiple different projects.
A screen recording (max 2 minutes) showing your AI agent or workflow in action, plus a short written description via the form. Voiceover encouraged. No production value required.
AI agents, automated workflows, and real use cases where AI does the work โ not just answers a question. Already running it? Even better. The jury rewards agentic and practical over theoretical.
All submissions must be received by Wednesday 24 June 2026 at 23:59 CET. Late entries won't be considered. Winners announced Wednesday 1 July 2026.
Vague "AI will change everything" pitches without a concrete use case. Submissions containing confidential customer or patient data. Links to someone else's product demo.
An independent jury of 3 Verlinvest team members + 1 external AI advisor scores every submission on five criteria. No CEOs on the jury โ this is a cross-portfolio decision.
Does it solve a real problem in day-to-day work?
Can it actually be done โ or is it already being done?
Is there something fresh in the approach?
How concretely has the submitter shown it works?
Could another company in the portfolio use the same idea?
Employees across all six portfolio companies compete in a single pool. Three winners are chosen by an independent jury โ regardless of which company they're from.
No. If you've set up an AI agent to handle a task for you, built an automated workflow, or even just imagined a way AI could run part of your job โ that's a valid starting point. We're looking for useful agentic workflows, not technical sophistication.
Yes. Your best idea is allowed to be simple. A 15-minute time-save that actually works beats a grand theoretical vision every time. The jury rewards practical over clever.
Record your screen showing the AI agent or workflow in action โ use your phone, a screen recorder, or whatever's easiest. Walk us through what it does and what the impact is. Add a voiceover. No editing needed. Raw is fine.
Yes โ if they're genuinely different use cases. Duplicate or near-identical submissions from the same person will be merged by the organizers.
The independent jury reviews all submissions across the six companies. The best ideas will be shared across the portfolio to help everyone learn. Nothing is published externally without your agreement.
No โ your teammate must work at the same company as you. But you can enter solo.
Do not include confidential customer data, patient data, or personally identifiable information about third parties in your submission. The jury and organizers only see your submission, and all files are deleted 12 months after the competition ends unless you opt in to longer storage for showcase.
Winners will be announced on Wednesday 1 July 2026 across all six companies simultaneously.
Yes. There's no limit on team size โ solo, duo, or your whole department. If your team has built something together, show us. The โฌ1,000 travel voucher goes to the winning team to split however they choose.
Yes. A single team can submit multiple different projects, and multiple teams from the same department can each submit their own. The marketing team has three different AI workflows? Submit all three as separate entries. More ideas, more chances.
No. Everything is submitted digitally โ there's no physical event, no pitch day, no travel required. Record your screen, fill in the form, and you're done. The jury reviews submissions remotely.
