About the challenge

This is a special event for the leading UK tech minds who have a passion for creating and a demonstrable track record of building remarkable things.

No fluff, just a room filled with hackers/coders and a race against the clock to create something prolific: alone or teams of up to 3 in the Generative AI space.

 

 

 

 

Requirements

What to Build

Build anything if you are using Generative AI. Build a project from YT video summarizer to headshot generator.

There are no restrictions or limitations – just build anything cool! These are just starting points, and the potential of generative AI is vast. Participants can mix and match ideas or come up with entirely new concepts that leverage the power of generative models.

 

What to Submit

Please have one zipped file with the source code and a PDF with the presentation. People can also submit their comments or any other details in a separate PDF.

Judging Criteria

  • Technical Ingenuity
    How impressive is the technical build?
  • Strength of Use Case
    Is it going to shake up the real world or just your mom's basement?
  • For the Greater (or Lesser) Good?
    Will this benefit rather than harm society?
  • Originality/Uniqueness
    Determining whether your project is a novel idea or if similar ones have been executed before.
  • Moonshot Potential
    Is your project a "moonshot" idea that could lead to a billion dollar business or a breakthrough in your field? We encourage you to think big and propose bold, daring solutions
