What to look forward to
Non-Slop is a one-day AI hackathon challenging participants to build something with meaning beyond a prompt and explain their creative choices. Teams can use tools including Pangram, Kino, Capy, and Paper, with $4,000 in cash prizes and judges spanning design, filmmaking, research, and creative technology.
Inside the event
Aesthetics can now be generated cheaply. That makes taste all the more worthwhile to build thoughtfully. Non-slop is a one day hackathon where you use AI to build something intentional that makes people feel something.
Theme: What matters when you can generate anything? Can you explain your choices?
The Challenge
Build something with AI that has value beyond a simple prompt. It can be a video, an image, a 3D printed object, a game, or anything else.
Build with Pangram’s API (AI detection), Kino (AI video editor), Capy (AI software engineer), and Paper (AI design workflow), plus any other tools you like.
