Anna AI-Native App Hackathon
About the hackathon
Build an installable Anna App people can #mention in Anna chat — with optional UI, tools, workflows, and saved state. Start small and compete for a $300 winner-takes-all prize.
An Anna App packages an AI-powered experience users can install, mention in chat, and return to whenever they need the workflow again. Your project should feel like a real AI-native app — more than a static webpage, more than a plain chatbot. Show AI participating through a workflow, tool call, decision, generation step, structured UI, saved state, or human review. You don't need production polish or every Anna feature — a focused working prototype is enough.
Format: Online · Solo or teams up to 5 · Jun 15 – Jun 22

FAQs
What should I bring?
Just an idea and your dev setup. No prior Anna experience needed — docs, starter examples, and community support are available to help you start fast. You can use external APIs, open-source libraries, and LLMs.
Are there prizes?
Yes — $300, winner takes all, awarded to the strongest project. Focused ideas and working demos matter more than size.
Who can join?
Anyone 18+, worldwide. Build solo or in a team of up to 5.
What do I submit?
Your app or project artifact (shareable Anna App, runnable project, zip, private repo, or local run instructions), a short description (what you built, who it's for, how AI is used, Anna fit), and an optional demo video — all before Jun 22, 11:59 PM ET.
