You’re three steps away from winning this challenge:

  1. 01

    Build an app

    Use any stack Argent supports: React Native, Expo, Swift, SwiftUI, Flutter, or Android. Ship a side project or use an existing app - your choice.

  2. 02

    Let your agent test it

    Run npx @swmansion/argent init and hand the simulator to your agent. Let it tap through the app, inspect, find the bug, fix it, and verify the fix - that’s the loop.

  3. 03

    Record it, post it

    Share your screen recording on X with #CloseTheLoop and tag @swmansion. We review every post and reply when your entry is on the wall.

Three ways to win

We judge every entry against every category, so choose your own strategy: either pick one category and build for it, or go for the sweep.

Best overall

The most impressive demo end-to-end. We’re looking at how well Argent closed the loop - from broken state to verified fix - the quality of the app, and how much the agent handled without intervention.

Best 3D

The most creative use of 3D graphics - TypeGPU, Three.js or any other 3d framework. Bonus points if Argent debugs a visual glitch live on screen.

Least slop

The cleanest agent run with the fewest retries, hallucinations, and unnecessary steps. We want to see your agent move fast and with precision - not thrash around.

Every category winner gets a Pocket

A personal AI assistant that captures your thoughts, transcribes conversations and summarizes meetings. Shipped worldwide.

Rules and tips

Here’s what a great entry looks like and what disqualifies one.

Rules

  • Post publicly with #CloseTheLoop

    Your submission must include a video demo on X (Twitter) or LinkedIn, accompanied with the #CloseTheLoop hashtag. Tag @swmansion - that’s how we track entries.

  • Max 3 submissions per person

    You can enter multiple times with different apps or approaches. We’ll judge each independently and consider every one for every category.

  • Disqualified

    Videos over 5 minutes will not be allowed.

  • Software Mansion has final say

    Our team will evaluate each submission and use both objective criteria and their own subjective judgment. The team will have the final say on what fits each category and will make the decisions without any outside reviewers or legal appeals.

Full details in the Competition Terms.

Tips

  • Show the loop, not just the result

    Start from the broken state and let us watch the agent work - tap, inspect, diagnose, fix, verify. That full round-trip is what we’re judging.

  • Keep it under 2 minutes

    The best demos are tight. We won’t consider videos over 5 minutes. Narration or a brief write-up helps us judge context faster.

  • Bonus points

    You’ll have higher chances of winning with creative apps ideas or if you add a small write-up/voice-over about your workflow and the development process.
