AI for a Better World

In the AI For Good Challenge, we invite you to use AI to tackle important problems in areas like inequality, ed-tech, taking care of elderly, and lifelong learning.

Create Your AI Solution: In the AI For Good Challenge, you'll begin your startup journey. Here, you'll get help turning your idea into a simple first version (MVP) with advice from experts and other people who like AI, all working together to make the world a better place.
Learn and Work with AI Experts!: Find easy-to-follow guides for both beginners and more advanced learners. During the Hackathon, our helpers and our team will be there to help and answer your questions, so you can focus on what matters most.
Connect with People Who Care!: This is the perfect chance to meet others who are just as excited about using tech and AI to make a real difference. You might meet your next partner, co-worker, or user right here!

The Challenge

Your job is to make a simple first version (MVP) of your product using AI models like LLMs, AI Agents, and Text-to-Speech models. It should help with big problems and show how AI can help you.

To join the challenge, you need to use at least one AI model from the list on our Tech Page or in the Technology part of the Hackathon, all while focusing on doing good with AI.

StartUp Opportunities 🚀

Top submissions may also be considered for the Slingshot, or possibly another path from within our network.

Slingshot is an early-stage accelerator that helps startups refine their business concept and finalize an MVP before launching on the market.

We encourage all participants to submit their best work for a chance to take their startup to the next level through these exclusive opportunities.

Please note: that while the lablab.ai team will endeavor to make their best effort, there is no guarantee of entry into the program, and such entry will be subject to availability and certain criteria that will need to be met.
