AI is no longer a lab experiment — it’s a powerful tool to rethink how we work, build, and innovate. Now is the time to create real-world solutions and automations that deliver value and drive impact across startups and businesses.
Whether you’re a developer, data scientist, designer, or product strategist, this hackathon is your launchpad to build what truly matters.
This isn’t a theoretical hackathon. Here, participants build concrete, validated, and ready-to-use MVPs.
The focus isn’t on creating artificial intelligence from scratch, but on developing smart automations using existing tools — like GPT, Zapier, Make, OpenAI APIs, and more.
CHALLENGE
- Build a system that automates a repetitive process — in business, within a company, or in everyday life. The AI-driven solution should be complete, scalable, and genuinely useful in real-world scenarios, ready to be adopted by startups, companies, or creators.
- Use pre-trained AI models with no-code tools and API integrations to build something that actually works.
