Klarnow AI Hackathon
Build AI that solves real business problems.
Klarnow AI Hackathon is a practical build challenge for serious builders who want to create useful AI systems, not hype projects.
Apply, qualify, join a team, and build in front of people who care about practical business impact.
Applications are reviewed before the qualifier.

Who should apply
This is for builders, not spectators.
Apply if you can think clearly, solve problems, work with a team, or turn ideas into something usable.
You do not need to be the loudest person in the room. You need to be able to build, reason, test, and improve.
How it works
You will compete in three stages.
- Stage 01
Apply
Tell us who you are, how you think, and the kind of role you naturally play in a build team.
- Stage 02
Qualify
Shortlisted applicants complete an individual qualifier to show how they approach real business problems.
- Stage 03
Build
Top applicants move into the final, join a team, and build a practical AI solution around a real business problem.
What we are looking for
We are looking for practical builders.
We are looking for people who can:
- Think commercially
- Use AI practically
- Explain ideas clearly
- Build under pressure
- Work with others
- Focus on usefulness, not hype
Why this exists
Most people are talking about AI. Fewer people can use it properly.
Most AI projects are demos. This is different.
The challenge is to build something useful enough that a business could actually understand it, test it, and use it.
This hackathon is for builders who want to prove they can move beyond theory and create something that works.
