Winners

1st Place

  • Carver - The migration-quoting agentShowcase Track: Design and Usability, First PlaceCarver is a GitLab Duo agent that quotes a legacy migration from your Orbit dependency graph.JavaScript
  • CrossCutShowcase Track: Potential Impact, First PlaceRun What Matters !!PythonReactTypeScript
  • SankofaShowcase Track: Technological Implementation, First PlaceThree GitLab Duo agents that use Orbit's knowledge graph to show blast radius before you merge, onboard devs instantly, and trace vulnerabilities to every exposFastAPIGemini
  • TranscendShowcase Track: Quality of the idea, First PlaceA semantic reasoning layer (W3C stack) on top of GitLab Orbit — transcending beyond multi-hop blast-radius and other Orbit's native APIs by federating with othePython

2nd Place

  • Marshal - Autonomous Migration AssistantShowcase Track: Design and Usability, Second PlaceOrgs don't fail to start migrations — they fail to finish them. Marshal drives every repo to a terminal state on GitLab Duo: discover the fleet, land real MRs, ClaudePython

  • Stayed ShippedShowcase Track: Technological Implementation, Second PlaceThe survival ledger for AI-authored code. Everyone measures whether a change is risky before it merges; Stayed Shipped measures whether it survived after.
  • Universal Agent OSShowcase Track: Quality of the idea, Second PlaceA consultation-first governance framework giving AI coding agents strict boundaries and collective memory.GraphQLPython
