About the challenge

Welcome to the Anthropic London Hackathon! Anthropic is granting teams access to the Claude 2 API. Come build apps with the Claude API, connect with expert judges, and win prizes. Our challenge for you is to build & innovate with the power of Claude 2.

Thanks to our partners Cerebral Valley and Balderton Capital, and our supporters MongoDB, Brave Software, LangChain, deepset and TruEra.

Requirements

What to Build

Claude's advanced natural language capabilities enable a huge range of possibilities. You could create an AI assistant to increase government transparency, provide helpful to businesses, or detect misinformation online. Claude's strong reasoning skills also lend themselves well to automating bureaucratic processes to improve efficiency.

Get creative with what you build! It could be a website, app, or voice experience powered by the Claude API. The judges will favor projects that demonstrate technical innovation but also have a clear purpose and benefit.
Build a Claude 2-enabled app that is relevant to Anthropic's mission, useful for startups and businesses, and good for the world.

What to Submit

At the end, submit a short video demo showing your project in action and explaining what it does. Also share the code on GitHub and document your process. Winners will be selected based on social impact/future potential, technical implementation, creativity, and pitching quality. Let's use this chance to build AI that makes a positive difference.
