AI does the building
People and teams are only to use AI to deliver something working. The point is to show what you can ship, prototype, or prove when AI is doing the heavy lifting.
A practical AI sprint running across Thursday 16 April and Friday 17 April 2026, with an early kickoff, focused build time, and live presentations to close out the day.

Challenge rules
People and teams are only to use AI to deliver something working. The point is to show what you can ship, prototype, or prove when AI is doing the heavy lifting.
You can deliver something completely independent, or build on top of Open Point or Social Point in a new branch or locally if that helps demonstrate the idea clearly.
The Schedule
An information session on how to set up AI tooling so everyone is prepared for the Promptathon.
Brief, judging criteria, examples of strong entries, and team formation to set teams up for Friday.
Teams use the day to shape the problem, design the interaction, prototype the flow, and tighten the story.
Each team presents their entry, the judges review submissions, and the awards are decided.

FAQ
Yes. You can register as an individual and meet collaborators at kickoff, or pick up an idea from the idea bank if you want a starting point.
That is fine. Choose a challenge track first, then use the idea bank for inspiration or build on something that comes out of team formation.
Yes. You need to use AI to code up a prototype or something you can demonstrate.
Show the problem, the idea, and how AI helps do something better. A prototype, prompt workflow, mock interaction, or clear walkthrough is enough for judging.
