Ryde Group Ltd (NYSE American:RYDE) will participate as an industry partner in the AI Agent Digital Native Track at the AI CAN DO IT Tencent Cloud Hackathon Singapore 2026. The company will present an exploratory challenge focused on using multiple AI agents to examine ride-hailing disputes.

The hackathon is jointly organised by Tencent Cloud and AI Singapore. It is scheduled to run from September to November 2026 as part of a five-track programme involving industry-specific challenges.

#RydeResolve challenge focuses on dispute reviews

Ryde’s challenge, titled “RydeResolve: Multi-Agent Autonomous Dispute Resolution System,” asks participating teams to develop ways for autonomous AI agents to collect relevant evidence, consider the positions of riders and drivers, apply company policies and recommend outcomes that can be explained.

The proposed structure includes three specialised agents: a Rider Advocate Agent, a Driver Advocate Agent and an impartial Judge Agent. The Judge Agent would assess the available evidence, apply relevant policies and recommend an outcome.

The challenge is based on the types of information that may be reviewed during a ride-hailing dispute, including GPS and trip telemetry, communications between riders and drivers, payment records and historical behaviour.

#Prototype requirements and assessment

Teams will be expected to create end-to-end prototypes capable of handling at least two dispute categories. Potential scenarios identified for the challenge include route deviation, no-show charges, property damage and safety incidents.

Entries will be assessed on their multi-agent design, evidence-gathering approach, fairness and transparency, business impact and scalability.

#Project remains exploratory

Ryde has described the prototypes as exploratory. Any future implementation will remain subject to further technical evaluation, testing and business assessment. The announcement does not confirm that Ryde will deploy any prototype or provide a timetable for commercial use.

Ryde Chief Technology Officer Nitin Dolli said the company is examining how specialised AI agents could coordinate evidence review, policy application and dispute handling. He also identified potential areas for exploration including automation, decision-making speed and operational scalability.

Ryde states that it provides carpooling, private-hire, taxi and delivery services. The company also says it operates a 0% commission model for private-hire and taxi driver-partners.

#Hackathon schedule

The programme is due to conclude with a Demo Day on 3 November 2026. Shortlisted teams are expected to present their working solutions at the event.
