The traditional survey industry is broken. Creators struggle with low-quality data from bots and click-farms, while respondents often face delayed payments or fake "lucky draw" promises. Trust is non-existent. QSurv solves this by combining the Qubic Network's instant finality with AI Agents. Here’s how it works: 1. Trustless Escrow: Creators lock their reward pool in a Smart Contract upfront. Payouts are guaranteed by code, not promises. 2. AI Verification: Every response is analyzed in real-time by Google Gemini AI. Only high-quality, relevant answers are approved. 3. Instant Rewards: Once verified, the Smart Contract triggers an immediate payout in QUs to the respondent's wallet. No waiting, no minimum withdrawal limits. We also introduced SocialFi elements to drive growth: a 2-tier referral system (25% commission) and Staking Tiers (Participant, Analyst, Oracle) that allow users to earn up to 25% bonus rewards by holding QUs. QSurv transforms data collection into a transparent, high-velocity value exchange

Reimbursely is an intelligent reimbursement auditing agent designed to eliminate the slow and error-prone manual process of verifying expense claims. Today, finance teams spend hours reading reimbursement emails, checking claim forms line by line, zooming into blurry receipt screenshots, and cross-matching information just to confirm a single submission. Reimbursely automates this entire workflow end-to-end. Using Python with IBM’s Agent Development Kit and orchestrated through IBM watsonx Orchestrate, the agent securely connects to Gmail, retrieves reimbursement-related emails, and downloads all attached claim forms and receipts. Google Cloud Platform handles authentication, email retrieval, and OCR processing—converting unstructured receipt images into structured, readable data. The agent extracts key fields such as dates, merchants, amounts, and line-item details from both forms and receipts. It automatically cross-checks every value, applies organization policies, and categorizes each claim as Approved, Flagged, or Rejected. A consolidated audit summary is then generated for clean, transparent review. Reimbursely transforms a full day of manual verification into seconds. It improves accuracy, reduces fraud risk, and frees finance teams to focus on strategic work instead of repetitive administrative tasks. The result is a fast, reliable, and enterprise-ready reimbursement automation system.

In this hybrid hackathon powered by Arc, developers will build the next generation of agentic commerce systems using Arc with USDC. Explore a world where AI agents and web services can pay for APIs, data, compute, and content in dynamic, usage-based ways, while Arc provides stablecoin-native settlement with predictable USDC fees and deterministic, sub-second finality. This hackathon is supported by Google & Google DeepMind, with a dedicated challenge and $40,000 in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) credits awarded for the best use of Gemini models and Google AI Studio. 📅 January 9 – 24, 2026 • Jan 9 – 23 (Online Phase) – Collaborate and build online with developers and AI innovators from around the world. All projects must be submitted by the end of the online phase on January 23rd. • Jan 23 (On‑site Build Day – San Francisco, CA) – Selected participants will be invited to an exclusive in‑person session to refine their projects and connect directly with mentors. • Jan 24 (On‑site Demos & Awards – San Francisco, CA) – Live pitching sessions to a panel of judges and ecosystem partners, followed by the official winner announcement. Get guidance from Arc and Circle experts through on-site support. 📍 On-site Venue (Jan 23–24): MindsDB SF AI Collective 3154 17th St, San Francisco, California, USA 🤝 Go solo or team up, it's your flow. 🏆Compete for $50,000 in USDC & GCP Credits. 📍 On-site participation is by invitation only.
