WELCOME TO THE GLOBAL LAZY PROGRAMMER HACKATHON POWERED BY VILNIUS TECHFUSION
🌟 The global tech community is experiencing rapid growth, particularly in the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, where Europe’s largest Tech hub is set to break ground in 2025. To enhance the productivity of the limited pool of IT talents, we recognize the importance of integrating Generative AI (GenAI) tools or AI algorithms.
The ultimate goal of our hackathon is to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) or prototype that harnesses the power of Generative AI (GenAI) tools or AI algorithms to solve everyday challenges faced by lazy programmers and tech community. This round focuses on practicality, innovation, and ease of use, aiming to create tools that can be seamlessly integrated into a programmer's workflow or everyday life.
Participants are to select one of the declared five challenges and develop an MVP or a functional prototype. The selected challenge should be addressed using GenAI tools or AI algorithms, with a focus on automating tasks, enhancing productivity, adding an element of humor and ease to the programming lifestyle.
