View my verified achievement from Microsoft for the 2023 Global Hackathon!

We kicked off a team hackathon on Thursday to end the quarter on a high note & rapidly experiment on some ideas. We split our already small but mighty team into two with a mission to design & build a feature in 48 hours. 😅 The rules: ✅ Uses AI ✅ Demoable ✅ Solves a real pain point ✅ Fun not stress We set out Thursday to imagine… ✨A way to automatically highlight parts of an AI generated summary on a transcript or data file, practically eliminating the friction to synthesis. ✨A way to generate a cover photo using the content of a research insight creating infinite possibilities to bring your research to life. Tomorrow at 9am PST / 12pm EST we’re demoing working versions both for our customers and users to choose a winner. Our engineers will speak to some of the technical challenges they had to overcome. I’m a big fan of hackathons like these because the future & what your team is capable of is always closer and more attainable than you think with a single focus. Even a tiny team can achieve big, hard things when day-to-day formalities, distractions, and constraints are eliminated. The winner will ship live in @notablyai first. 🚀 Be sure to attend & cast a vote if you want to start using automatic highlights or AI-generated cover photos. 🗳️ RSVP here 👉 lu.ma/4xg73y2f

🌍 Microsoft Global Hackathon 2023 🌍 Started by Satya in 2014 with a dream, and by 2022, it had 70k hackers! That's more people than in my entire high school... times 70! 😱 You can innovate in ANY area. Which is great 'cause I've got groundbreaking ideas for a self-buttering toaster. 🍞✨ Thrilled and honored to be a part of it... and slightly nervous for the toaster's first test run. 🙈 #MicrosoftHackathon2023 #InnovateOrToast (Note: Toast may or may not be a part of the actual hackathon, but a man can dream! 🤷♂️)

Acceptances are rolling out in batches 🎉 Now's the perfect time to gather your team and start brainstorming innovative ideas for the hackathon!💡 Remember: The actual building should kick off during the 36 hours of the hackathon duration only 😉 Join us on discord.hackthisfall.tech to validate your ideas with the wider community! 🗣️ #HackThisFall2024 #InnovateForGood #HackThisFall

Half baked thought: would be cool to run a hackathon with your users. Basically match 1 to 2 users with 2 employees and build a product for/with them. Not entirely sure which users would self select into this - I’d assume power users, which may be limiting your builds. But maybe if you paid folks to participate you could get more invovlement? Generally think it’s an interesting way to bring in the voice of customer and build for actual needs
