AutoOps is a fully autonomous financial operations platform designed to automate invoice processing, policy enforcement, and USDC payments using Circle’s Arc L1, Circle Payment APIs, and a multi‑system architecture. Our system consists of four coordinated components: AI Agent (Decision Engine): A deterministic rules-based agent evaluates invoices against company financial policies. It outputs strict, structured JSON decisions (APPROVE, NEGOTIATE, REJECT), ensuring zero‑hallucination financial logic and enforcing a finance‑first, risk‑averse approach. Frontend Dashboard: A production‑ready UI built for finance teams to upload invoices, view decisions, track vendors, and monitor transactions in real time. Users can view invoice history, agent decisions, and blockchain transaction receipts from Arc. Blockchain & Payments Layer: Smart contracts deployed on Circle’s Arc Testnet manage vendors, invoices, and fund release. The backend integrates Circle’s Wallets API and Payments API to create wallets, initiate USDC transfers, and confirm settlements. Contracts include: VendorRegistry InvoiceManager USDC handling + escrow lifecycle Backend + Supabase Integration: A unified FastAPI/Node backend orchestrates: Agent → Contract → Circle API workflows Supabase logging for audit trails Webhooks for payment status updates Secure routing between systems 1–3 Together, AutoOps automates the entire finance operations pipeline—from invoice upload to blockchain‑settled payment—without human intervention. The system is built for scalability, enterprise reliability, and real‑world financial auditability.

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.
