All projects must be created during the hackathon period. You may brainstorm ideas and plan ahead, but the actual development work should begin once the event starts.

Your submission must include Artificial Intelligence as a core part of the experience. This can be an AI agent, chatbot, automation system, recommendation engine, AI workflow, or another meaningful AI implementation.

Simply adding AI as a minor feature without clear purpose may affect judging.

All submissions must be open source.

You are required to provide a public code repository that includes a valid open-source license file for judging and testing purposes.

You may participate solo or in a team.

Team members should contribute meaningfully to the project.

Projects must not contain:

• Hate speech or harassment
• Harmful, illegal, or malicious content
• Spam or deceptive behavior
• Content intended to exploit or harm users

Keep projects respectful and appropriate for all participants.

Do not copy another project and present it as your own.

Using libraries, APIs, frameworks, and open-source tools is completely fine, but your submission should demonstrate original effort and meaningful work.

You may use existing tools, frameworks, or starter templates, but the submission must include substantial new work completed during the hackathon.

To qualify for judging, submissions must include:

• A hosted/live project URL
• A public open-source repository
• A valid open-source license
• A demo video (~3 minutes recommended)
• A completed Devpost submission

Try new ideas, explore AI, collaborate, and build something exciting. Creativity is encouraged!
