The PresentMe API Agent 
Code Less. Create More. Let the AI do the heavy lifting.
 The Overview Are you ready to experience the future of automation? In this challenge, we are ditching manual slide design and tedious boilerplate coding. Your mission is to harness the power of the PresentMe API Agent to build a complete presentation project using nothing but natural language prompts.
You don't need to be a Python expert to win—you just need to be an expert prompter.
The Goal Use the PresentMe API Assistant (our Chatbot) to write a script for you that generates a full presentation. Your goal is to see how complex, creative, or useful a presentation you can build by simply talking to the documentation.
How to Participate Follow these 4 simple steps to enter:
1. Get Your Access
Sign up at PresentMe App and navigate to your Account Settings. Generate your secret API Key.
2. Talk to the Agent
Go to the API Documentation Page. Open the chat widget (bottom right or "Assistant" tab).
3. The "Prompt Engineering"
Ask the Agent to write code for you. Be specific!
Basic: "Write a Python script using my API key to create a presentation about 'The History of Bread'."
Advanced: "Write a Python script that creates a 10-slide deck for a Series A pitch deck on a FinTech startup. Target an investor audience with a professional tone."
4. Execute & Submit
Copy the code the Agent gives you, run it locally (or in a notebook), and capture the Presentation Link it generates.
Requirements
To successfully complete this challenge, you must submit a project on Devpost that includes the following:
1. Proof of Agent Interaction (Required)
Images/Screenshots: You must upload images showing the Agent screen. We want to see the prompt you used and the Agent responding to you.
2. The Source Code (Required)
Code Upload: Submit the source code generated by the Agent (you can upload this as a ZIP file or provide a link to a GitHub repository).
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Do NOT include your private API Key in the source code. Please redact or remove any keys before submitting.
3. Project Description
A brief explanation of what presentation you asked the Agent to create and how accurate the result was. Hackathon Sponsors
Prizes
2 non-cash prizes The Grand Prize (1 Winner)

SurveyMonkey: The Future of Feedback - Natural and AI-Driven
3 winners SurveyMonkey is dedicated to helping organizations around the world transform feedback into growth. However, a persistent challenge remains: getting people to take a survey requires a dedicated investment of their time, often with little to no immediate incentive, creating a significant mental barrier. We challenge you to make static forms obsolete and completely reimagine how we capture user sentiment. Your mission is to build a solution where giving feedback is invisible, gamified, or instantaneous. Gathering valuable insights in a way that feels natural, seamless, and non-intrusive. Imagine a world where feedback collection is an integrated part of everyday digital interaction, not a separate task.
To truly transform this process, you are encouraged to leverage AI in your solution. Teams are encouraged to think critically about their own survey-taking experiences, identify a compelling use case, and develop a prototype that demonstrates how AI can dissolve the friction of feedback.
We will be handing out a limited number of OpenAI keys on a first come first serve basis to teams who sign up for the challenge. Please reach out to us in Discord and be sure to include the names of all of your team members.
PRIZES:
1st Place: 4x$250 Amazon Gift Cards

Thales: Northern Shield, Maritime Strategy Simulator Challenge
3 winners Problem Statement:
Design and build a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) simulator that models trade route patrol and
natural resource protection operations in the Canadian Arctic. This should enable leadership
teams to identify the most sustainable strategies for resource utilization.
Context:
Geopolitical changes and Arctic ice melt are creating new trade routes and risks in Canada’s
north, requiring the Navy to protect maritime interests in harsh and dynamic conditions with
limited resources. The complexity of diverse roles and rapidly changing weather adds to the
operational challenges.
To meet these demands, it is envisioned that the Navy will need modern simulation and
decision-support tools for quickly testing scenarios, optimizing resource use, and improving
strategy. These tools should also engage new recruits and empower senior leadership with
data-driven insights for efficient mission planning and Arctic security.
The goal: secure Canada’s Arctic with maximized efficiency and minimal resources.
Success Criteria:
1. Operational Relevance- Captures key aspects of Arctic operations for persistent
surveillance (trade routes, resource sites, weather/ice, long distances). Includes
representative naval/joint assets (autonomous or not) with basic capability differences.
2. Resource Efficiency and Optimization- Tracks and displays key resource use (assets,
fuel/energy, time, etc.). Helps users find ways to meet objectives with fewer resources
(e.g., better patrol patterns).
3. Decision-Support for Senior Leaders- Provides clear, executive-level outputs
(dashboards, summaries, visualizations) that show risk, coverage, and trade-offs
following simulated exercise.
a. Bonus: Allows comparison of different courses of action (COAs).
4. Usability & User Experience - Simple, intuitive interface usable with minimal training.
Easy scenario setup (threat level, traffic, weather, asset availability). Clear feedback on
what is happening in the simulation.
5. Technical Quality- Runs stably and performs smoothly with a realistic number of
entities. Built in a modular way so new assets, rules, or data can be added later.
6. Insight, Innovation and Impact- Provides meaningful metrics (e.g., coverage, detection
probability, response times). Demonstrates an innovative or engaging approach (e.g.,
game-like elements, novel visualizations, AI/heuristics). Clearly explains how the
solution could support real-world Arctic planning and resource allocation.
Prizes:
-1st place: 4 x 100$ gift cards
-2nd place: 4 x 50$ gift cards
-3rd place: 4x 25$ gift cards

Judging Criteria
Technology
How technically impressive was the hack? Was the technical problem the team tackled difficult? Did it use a particularly clever technique or did it use many different components? Did the technology involved make you go "Wow"? Design
Did the team put thought into the user experience? How well designed is the interface? For a website, this might be about how beautiful the CSS or graphics are. For a hardware project, it might be more about how good the human-computer interaction is. Completion
Does the hack work? Did the team achieve everything they wanted? Learning
Did your team stretch themselves? Did you try to learn something new? What kind of projects have you worked on before? What new things did you take away?
