Hey Hackers!

Great news—the submission deadline for the #ai-chatbot writing contest has been extended! You now have until November 21, 2024, to submit your unique AI chatbot ideas for a chance to win big from a prize pool of over $7,000, thanks to the contest’s sponsor, Coze.

Already submitted? Use this extra time to draw attention to your entry or work on another one to boost your odds!

Since the contest’s launch in August, over 46 #ai-chatbot stories have been published, offering more than a full day’s worth of engaging reading. Participants have used Coze's no-code platform to bring their varied visions to life, deciding, for themselves, what chatbots can do. Notable entries include @emmanuelaj’s crypto investment assistant, @bennykillua’s recipe generator, kevinstubbs’ foreign language tutor, Illeolami’s Nigerian news reporter, and much more. The possibilities are endless!

For too long, shaping AI has been limited to an exclusive few, but now the curtain has been pulled back. With Coze, you can design and build AI chatbots for any use case you can think up—no coding skills required.
