InfiniSynapse Vibe Coding Hackathon 2026
When
Build a working AI data app for a real business problem.
Online · Free to enter · October 10–31, 2026 · Pacific Time
What if a small team could turn scattered business data into a decision it can actually act on? Join InfiniSynapse for a global online build challenge focused on practical, industry-specific applications. Use AI to move fast on the interface—but make the data, reasoning, and workflow real.
The challenge
Build a working web, mobile, or desktop application on top of InfiniSynapse that helps a shop, school, merchant, or other small-business operator answer a meaningful question and take a useful next step. We want to see the user, the business problem, the data behind it, and what your application makes possible.
A polished pitch alone is not the goal. Show a functioning product and a credible data flow. Slide-only proposals, notebooks without an app, fake JSON standing in for a real workflow, and generic chat-on-a-CSV interfaces are not what this challenge is designed to reward.
Explore possible tracks
These tracks are starting points—feel free to propose another direction.
- Education — Help educators or learning organizations understand participation, outcomes, or resource needs.
- Retail & Replenishment — Turn sales and inventory signals into better replenishment decisions.
- Hit-product Analysis — Explain what is selling, why it matters, and what an operator should do next.
- SMB Operations — Make day-to-day decisions clearer for a small team managing orders, costs, or performance.
- Growth for Operators — Help operators find actionable signals in acquisition, conversion, or retention.
- Open Industry — Bring the same data-to-decision approach to another well-defined industry workflow.
These are starting points, not six different registration processes. Choose the business problem you can demonstrate most convincingly.
How to participate

Prizes and judging
The currently announced cash prize pool is $3,000: one first prize of $900, two second prizes of $600 each, and three third prizes of $300 each. Final eligibility and payment terms are in the official rules.
Projects are evaluated on real-world scenario value (40%), technical completeness (35%), and innovation (25%). GitHub stars are not part of the score. Reviewers will look for an application that connects a genuine user need to a working data-powered experience—not just an attractive interface.
Confirmed judge: William Zhu, Co-founder of InfiniSynapse.
