Design agents that tackle the queue
Start with the work that slows you down: enrichment that waits on a human, weekly reporting sprints, and repetitive triage that surfaces time and again. Or start with the work you rarely get to; detection engineering, tailored threat hunting, proactive exposure analysis.

“With AgentWorks, agents immediately access the high-quality data native to the CrowdStrike platform. We can create a reliable, scalable agent with a fraction of the time and effort it takes on other agentic platforms. It has allowed us to rapidly advance select use cases.”
“I used very simple plain language - not even complex prompts - to build a production-ready agent. It built really advanced queries very quickly. I had this thing built in less than an hour, and when I say an hour, I'm getting interrupted every 5 or 10 minutes.”
“The fact that my team can build an agent as easily as writing a prompt completely changed how we think about automation. The hardest part wasn't building the agent – it was deciding which problem to solve first.”

The strongest submissions solve real problems in a fast, effective, and well-constructed way.
Winning submissions will be recognized and celebrated across the CrowdStrike community. Top builders will receive exclusive prizes, including limited-edition adversary figurines, digital winner certificates, and the opportunity to present at Fal.Con 2027.
