Chipp Hackathon: AI for Business
Businesses need easy and clear ways to get started with AI. This hackathon challenges participants to create AI applications that help businesses grow.
Get Actual Business Value From AI
There's a brewing backlash to AI. Less than 5% of businesses in the US use AI, and that's actually down from the previous quarter. The reason: they don't know what to do with it!
That's why we are hosting this hackathon.
