"Congratulations to the DEVHack winners, and a sincere thank you to everyone who participated," said Guidewire Chief Product Officer Michael Howe. "Events like this hackathon and the Guidewire DEVSummits highlight the strength and innovation our global developer community brings in service to the P&C insurance industry. It has been inspiring to see such high-quality work, creative solutions, and genuine passion from developers. Also, I’d like to thank AWS for their support and partnership that made it possible for developers to push boundaries and showcase technical excellence in Guidewire Cloud."

Out of nearly 200 team applications submitted from around the world, 40 teams were selected to compete in the hackathon. From June 2 - July 8, 2025, the teams worked to build solutions, leveraging a developer environment provisioned with Guidewire InsuranceSuite utilizing the Mammoth release of Guidewire Cloud Platform. The top 10 submissions were announced as finalists on July 22, 2025 and shared for public voting. Their demo videos are available to view on the DEVHack website.
