Eligibility

This hackathon is open to developers, designers, founders, students, and anyone interested in AI products and agent coordination.

Participants may join individually or as a team. To be eligible for prizes, your project must use Aicoo in a meaningful way. We especially encourage teams to:

- Use the Aicoo API / infrastructure to build the product itself

- Use AI COO before the hackathon to introduce yourself, find teammates, and form teams

- Use AI COO during the hackathon for team communication, context tracking, task planning, and project coordination

Project and Submission Requirements

Projects should be built during the hackathon, or significantly extended from an existing project during the hackathon.

You may use open-source libraries, external APIs, AI coding tools, design tools, and any tech stack. However, the core product experience should reflect the theme of this hackathon and clearly show how Aicoo is used.

Projects must be submitted through Devpost before the deadline. Projects submitted late or unable to demonstrate their core workflow may not be eligible for judging.

Prizes

- Champion: $5,000 in Aicoo API credits, plus $1,000 in other API credits such as GPT, Claude, or similar tools

- Best Product: $3,000 in Aicoo API credits, plus $700 in other API credits

- Best Aicoo Team: $2,000 in Aicoo API credits, plus $500 in other API credits

Final prize categories may be adjusted based on the number and quality of submissions.

Judging Criteria and Winner Selection

Projects will be judged based on:

- Use of Aicoo API / infrastructure: 30%

- Product value and real-world workflow: 25%

- Technical execution and demo completeness: 20%

- Demo clarity and submission completeness: 15%

- Effective team collaboration with AI COO: 10%

Strong projects should make Aicoo a key part of the product experience, not just an optional add-on.

Winners will be selected by the judging panel after reviewing submissions and demos. Judges’ decisions are final.
