About the challenge

We’re bringing together the most ambitious developers, engineers, hackers, and designers for a 48-hour hackathon to imagine mobile-first use cases that will create healthier, more productive, and more creative futures. 

Participants will have the chance to share their concepts with leading AI investors, including Pear, Lightspeed, and Samsung Next; executives from top cloud providers; and select companies from our network of ecosystem partners. 

The possibilities are endless but hackathon space is limited. 

Get started

Participants are encouraged to set up their environments and toolchains prior to the hackathon. See 'Tools and Technologies' below.

Requirements

What to Build

The only requirement is that teams produce working demos that leverage generative AI to impact mobile device experiences. Beyond that, this is a blue sky challenge.

To get the gears turning, here are some thought starters:

  • How can generative AI augment on-device sensors like GPS, cameras, and microphones, etc. to deliver enhanced capabilities for applications? 
  • How can generative AI improve how consumers interact with photos, emails, text messages, health data and deliver novel engaging experiences?
  • How can generative AI better extract user context and intent to improve interfaces like keyboards, voice, and app/menu navigations?
  • How can generative AI models be optimized and deployed on-device to enable or improve applications that are sensitive to privacy, latency, or network instability?

What to Submit

Participants are expected to share a 3-minute pitch deck including a demo and high-level architectural diagrams. We will have mentors available to help folks fine-tune and prepare for the final presentations.
