The prompts

Pick one. Build something useful.

Three prompts. Each is a real problem with real stakes for real people. Pick the one that matters most to you — then ship a working prototype that addresses it. You declare your prompt at submission.

Prompt 01

Careers & Future of Work

A tool or product that helps people navigate or improve their careers in the age of AI.

Example angles
  • Personalized career path agents
  • Interview prep that adapts to the role
  • Salary negotiation co-pilots
Prompt 02

Equity & Access to AI

A tool that brings the benefits of AI to broader audiences or expands access to opportunity.

Example angles
  • Plain-language access to public benefits
  • Local resource finders for underserved zip codes
  • AI translators for civic and legal documents
Prompt 03

Personal Security

A tool that protects individuals — their data, identity, finances, family, or wellbeing.

Example angles
  • Scam detectors for text and voice
  • Privacy audits for non-engineers
  • Estate and emergency-doc walkthroughs
The bar

One thing every submission has in common.

Your project must have a plausible path to sustainability — funding, paying users, or measurable impact (people served or dollars saved). The judges weight this heavily — a working prototype with a credible path to scale beats a polished demo with no future.
