What to Build

Section 1 Technical Development Statement

Participants must build a working software solution that combines Generative AI with Automation to improve a real-world workflow or process. The solution should clearly define the task being improved, show how Generative AI provides intelligent output such as content, recommendations, summaries, plans, or decisions, and demonstrate how automation executes actions such as triggering workflows, processing data, integrating systems, or handling repetitive steps.

The final prototype must present a functional prototype where AI-generated intelligence and automated operations work together in a seamless, end-to-end manner. Any domain is allowed—productivity, cybersecurity, cloud operations, business tools, education, creative systems, and more—as long as the system showcases AI-driven insight paired with automated execution, supported by reliable, scalable, and responsible design principles.

Section 2 Market Analysis Statement

Participants must demonstrate a clear understanding of the market environment surrounding their product. This includes identifying where the solution fits, who will use it, and why it holds value in the real world.

Industry & Market Context
Identify the industry your product serves, the scale of that market, and any major trends—such as AI adoption, automation growth, or digital transformation—that make your solution relevant and timely.

Target Users & Market Reach
Define the group of users or organizations that would benefit most from your product. Provide a simplified understanding of your market opportunity, including who your ideal customer is and which specific needs or pain points your solution addresses.

Competition & Differentiation
Briefly outline existing tools or methods customers use today and highlight the gaps they fail to solve. Identify your main competitors and clearly explain what makes your product stand out—its unique value or advantage.

Pricing & Adoption Strategy
Present a straightforward monetization approach (such as subscription, usage-based, or tiered pricing) and explain why it fits your target users. Describe simple channels or methods you would use to reach and acquire customers.

Opportunities, Challenges & Risks
Summarize the strengths and opportunities your product has in the market, along with potential challenges such as competition, adoption barriers, or compliance considerations related to AI technology.

Projected Impact & Roadmap
Explain the measurable benefits your solution could deliver—faster workflows, reduced costs, improved accuracy, or stronger user experience.

What to Submit

Each team must submit the following:

• A fully functional prototype demonstration
• Slide deck containing comprehensive market analysis
• Live pitch presentation to the judges
• GitHub repository link with your complete codebase

All components are mandatory. Your submission will be evaluated holistically, so ensure consistency and quality across every element.
