Best use of open source AI for Real-World Impact
Build an open source AI-powered project that solves a real problem for people around you, whether in education, health, agriculture, language, accessibility, local government, or your own community. AI must be central to how the project works, not a bolt-on feature. We’re looking for projects that a real person could pick up and use.
Local Problem, Real Solution: Start from a problem you or people near you actually face.
AI at the Core: Remove the AI and the project should stop working.
Working Demo: Show it working on real input, not just slides.
Projects must be published in a public GitHub repository with an open-source license.
