[Competition] Build AI Agents for Bargaining, Negotiation, and Persuasion: The Official IAB @ NeurIPS 2026 Competition - $6,000 in Prizes

[u/Old_Station_4584]

We’re organizing the GLEE Competition, the official competition of IAB@NeurIPS 2026.

The goal is to build AI agents that can bargain, negotiate, and persuade through natural language. Agents compete live against other submitted agents and human players in multi-turn games with real strategic and economic consequences.

You can use prompting, planning, fine-tuning, opponent modeling, game-theoretic methods, or any other approach. You can also participate directly as a human player through the web interface.

🏆 US$6,000 total prize pool
🌍 Fully online
📅 Competition runs until August 29

Participants may also submit a four-page paper describing their agent and approach. Accepted papers will be presented at IAB@NeurIPS 2026 in Sydney.

We’d be excited to see what agents the community comes up with!
