About the challenges
1. AI that makes your day
(Šimon Popovič, Tomáš Sedlák, Mark Takáč, Jakub Horváth, Martin Mitro)
Your challenge is to design and build an AI-powered assistant that makes daily life easier, smarter, and more efficient. Think beyond chatbots and agents—create a solution that truly understands user needs, adapts to real-world scenarios, and helps solve common problems people face at home, work, school, on the go and etc. Creativity, usefulness, and real impact are key.
Full Challenge description and presentation can be found on slack, on #01-ai-assistant-challenge channel.
2. Megatrends - Build Something That Solves a Future Problem - Today.
(Ženský Algoritmus - Zuzana Sotáková, Pavol Harhovský, Lenka Krajčírová)
Choose a megatrend / megatrends (AI, Work & Skills, Climate, Demographics, Trust, etc...)
Imagine the world in 2030.
Pick a specific target group (students, seniors, etc...)
Identify a problem they will struggle with & build the best possible solution that helps solve it.
Full Challenge description and presentation can be found on slack, on #02-megatrends-challenge channel.
3. Autonomous AI Agents
(Yulian Symkanynets, Yehor Nepokrytyi)
The project must be an autonomous AI agent that takes one high-level user request, creates a clear step-by-step plan, and then executes that plan independently using tools, data, or external resources to deliver a complete final result. Unlike a normal chatbot that only responds to prompts, the agent should think, plan, act, and coordinate tasks on its own, behaving more like a small digital coworker than a text generator.

Requirements
Each of your submission must be in format: <team_name>-<challenge_number>
1. AI that makes your day
(Šimon Popovič, Tomáš Sedlák, Mark Takáč, Jakub Horváth, Martin Mitro)
Evaluation Criteria:
- Impact: How helpful is the assistant for real everyday problems?
- Innovation: How creative is your solution? What are the things that competition doesn’t have?
- Technical Execution: Is the AI integrated into your solution well? Does your solution work properly?
- User Experience: Ease of use, clarity, design, and delight. “Even my grandma has to be able to use it!”
- Feasibility: Can this assistant realistically be used or expanded after the hackathon?
2. Megatrends - Build Something That Solves a Future Problem - Today.
(Ženský Algoritmus - Zuzana Sotáková, Pavol Harhovský, Lenka Krajčírová)
Evaluation Criteria:
- Impact: Identify a megatrend and turn it into something with real impact for both the future and today. Does the solution meaningfully address a problem that will strongly matter also in the next 5 years?
- Innovation: How creative is your solution? How unique, unexpected or sci-fi is the solution?
- Technical Execution: Is the AI integrated into your solution well? Does the prototype or demo actually work?
- User Experience: Is the solution simple, intuitive, and pleasant to use? Even future-ready solutions must be easy to understand.
- Feasibility: Could this concept realistically grow, scale, or exist in the real world in the coming years?
3. Autonomous AI Agents
(Yulian Symkanynets, Yehor Nepokrytyi)
Evaluation Criteria:
- How independently does the agent work? (the user don't need to guide it)
- Does the agent create a real plan before execution? (agent must clarify steps and follow them)
- Tool usage and orchestration (using APIs, reading files, scrapping data, transforming inputs)
- Frontend is not main thing, but good to have
- Working with data (local and/or external)
- Quality of the final output

Judging Criteria
-
Technical implementation (clean code, git, …)
Everything needs to be built here on the event! We are inspecting also the implementation quality of your solutions, so make sure to not underestimate it. -
Creativity (thinking out of the box, new inventions, …)
Think outside the box. We're on the lookout for new inventions and creative approaches that stand out from the ordinary. -
Usability (in real life, daily, would you use it?, …)
Make it practical. Your solution should be something people would actually want to use in their everyday lives. If it’s not user-friendly, it’s not ready! -
Presentation (ppt, speaker, Q&A, …)
Your presentation matters! Whether it's your PowerPoint, delivery, or handling Q&A, make sure to clearly express your ideas and solutions. -
Design (visual, architecture, attractiveness, …)
Aim for a design that's both appealing and practical. Think about what makes a developer's life easier—clear structure, intuitive interfaces, and a look that impresses without overcomplicating.
