980+ enrolled in IBM’s Bobathon · rated 4.5/5
Every challenge in the New Day AI Fest is an interactive lab that ProoV builds by hand around your problem and your tools, with an AI mentor inside and every submission scored against your rubric. It is the format ProoV runs every day, opened up as a three-month season for companies and talent everywhere.
We have not found another hackathon that runs this way.
People spend two to three hours inside a problem from your field, with your name and logo on it, and rate it when they finish.
We build a lab on your tool or API, and people learn it by doing real tasks in it. You get start, progress and completion data.
Put an open question from your field to people outside your company, without sharing any data, and read the best answers first.
See who did the strongest work on your kind of problem, each with a scorecard, before you review a CV.
At the end of the season you get a scored shortlist of the strongest participants, a written summary of the best approaches, and start-to-finish usage data for your labs.
ProoV is built in Heilbronn, a city that is putting artificial intelligence at the centre of its future. The New Day AI Fest is our flagship: it takes that focus on applied AI online, to students and graduates everywhere.
ProoV is an independent company. IPAI and the Bildungscampus are named to describe Heilbronn; they are not partners of the fest.
