Build an original project that uses Snowflake CoCo alongside a freely accessible dataset to create a meaningful open-source AI application. The Snowflake and AI components should both contribute substantively to the project’s functionality, rather than being included only as superficial features. Teams could build a data-driven AI application, an intelligent analytics dashboard, a natural language query tool, or an AI-powered data pipeline. These are examples within one challenge, and teams may combine them.

The project must use Snowflake CoCo to find, understand, or work with a freely accessible dataset from the Snowflake Marketplace or Snowflake sample data.

The project must be published in a public GitHub repository and use an open-source license.

The AI component must use open-source or open-weight AI as a meaningful part of the project.

Eligible projects must combine all three elements: Snowflake CoCo, a freely accessible Snowflake dataset, and open-source or open-weight AI.

Teams should be prepared to show how CoCo helped them explore the data or build the project, identify the dataset used and where it came from, and demonstrate the AI component’s role in the final solution.
