Description
We invite you to redefine AI interaction. Our challenge is simple yet potentially game-changing: propose an alternative design to the traditional AI chatbot. Think outside the box, and consider interfaces and experiences that push the boundaries of how users interact with AI.
We encourage you to let your creativity and technical skills shine. The goal of this challenge is to rethink and redesign AI interaction in a way that is engaging, intuitive, and user-friendly.
Key Considerations
- What different forms can an AI interaction take, outside of the traditional chatbot model?
- How can we design these interactions to be more intuitive and user-friendly?
- How can we make these interactions engaging and enjoyable, while still serving a useful purpose?
- How can these designs accommodate various user needs, preferences, and abilities?
Eligibility
Open to UX-UI enthusiasts, AI enthusiasts, and anyone else interested in reimagining the way we interact with AI. Individuals and teams are welcome to participate.
Cost of Entry

Deadline

Your proposal should address the key considerations listed above.
Judging Criteria
Proposals will be judged on creativity, originality, feasibility, the extent to which they push the boundaries of traditional AI interactions, and how well they meet user needs and preferences.
