Prize
£250 awarded to the winning team or individual

Objective

Build a small but functional AI Agent (using any LLM API or AI toolkit) to solve a specific problem or deliver a fun, useful capability — all within 50 lines of code or an equivalent low‑code implementation.

What Could You Build?

Your agent could:

  • Help a user complete a useful daily task
  • Automate an information‑gathering process
  • Interact in a creative or entertaining way
  • Interface with a public API (e.g., weather, transport, public datasets)

Constraints

  • Core functionality: 50 lines of code or less (excluding comments, configuration, or UI)
  • Can be built individually or as a team
  • Any programming language or low‑code platform allowed
  • Must be demoable live (on a laptop or via screen‑share)

Submission & Presentation

Each participant/team must provide a 3‑minute demo video with a quick explanation of:

  • Problem being solved
  • How the agent works
  • One potential way to expand it

Demo video and code (or a link to it) must be added to the project on the KXSB Discord.

Submission deadline: End of day, Sunday September 14, 2025.
