    ๐ŸŽฌ Demo: video, live, or both

    You need at least one way for judges to see your project working. Both is best.

    ๐ŸŽฅ Demo video1โ€“3 minutes. Upload to YouTube, Loom or Vimeo and paste the link. Make sure it's public or unlisted.
    ๐ŸŒ Live demoA URL judges can open, or show it running at your table during demos. Keep it running until judging ends.
    โญ BothA live link plus a short video as backup, in case Wi-Fi or an API has a bad moment.

    ๐Ÿ’ก Make the demo land

    • Open with the agents doing something on screen: moving, talking, deciding.
    • Show the decision log: what each agent decided and why.
    • Run it twice if the outcome changes: that proves the agents decide.
    • Say which track you picked and which sponsor tools you used.
