about this event
Aesthetics can now be generated cheaply. That makes taste all the more worthwhile to build thoughtfully. Non-slop is a one day hackathon where you use AI to build something intentional that makes people feel something.
Theme: What matters when you can generate anything? Can you explain your choices?
The Challenge: Build something with AI that has value beyond a simple prompt. It can be a video, an image, a 3D printed object, a game, or anything else. Build with Pangram's API (AI detection), Kino (AI video editor), Capy (AI software engineer), and Paper (AI design workflow), plus any other tools you like.
Judges: Leo Rodrigues, Pleometric; Clo Wang, Designer and Filmmaker; Donald Jewkes, Sloptech Researcher; Olivia Zheng, Electrical Eng + Creative Technologist.
Prizes — From Pangram: $1,000 cash. From Kino: $1,000 cash + 1 year of Kino Pro for the winning team. From Capy: $1,000 cash. From Paper: $1,000 cash + 1 year of Paper Pro + Paper swag bags for the winning team.
Every participant gets $1,000 in Pangram credits, 2 months of Kino Pro, 1 month of Capy Max ($200 value), Free Paper Pro during the hackathon, Pangram exclusive merch + Paper hats.
Pizza provided. In person only, registration requires approval.
