What Makes a Winning Project?

✓ Do This

  • •Solve a real problem with a clear use case
  • •Effectively leverage on-device AI capabilities
  • •Create a polished, intuitive user experience
  • •Write clean, well-documented code
  • •Demonstrate privacy and offline benefits
  • •Show creativity and innovation in your approach

✗ Avoid This

  • •Building without a clear problem to solve
  • •Using cloud APIs instead of on-device AI
  • •Poor UI/UX that confuses users
  • •Messy, undocumented code
  • •Incomplete or non-functional features
  • •Missing or poor quality demo video

Focus on Quality Over Quantity

It's better to have one well-implemented, polished feature that showcases on-device AI than multiple half-finished features. The judges care about execution and impact.
