Pick a lane. Then go wild inside it.
Five tracks. No bonus points for any one of them — judging is on uniqueness, polish, and whether real people would actually use it.
Multi-model
Route, compare, or stack multiple models on the same prompt.
Agents & Automation
Long-running agents that read, decide, and act on real work.
Knowledge & RAG
Search, cite, and reason over documents people actually care about.
Bharat
Indian-language interfaces or apps for India-shaped problems.
Wildcard
If it's weird, useful, and runs on Mesh — it fits here.
Five things, or it doesn't count.
Public GitHub repo
Full project, public. Share access with contact@meshapi.ai.
Honest commit history
Steady progress across the week. A few giant end-of-week commits = disqualified.
2–3 min demo video
Screen recording + you on webcam. Walk us through the app.
Mesh integration in the code
Mandatory. Mesh API has to be visibly powering the AI calls.
Repo access shared
Give contact@meshapi.ai read access on the repo before you submit.
Some we'd personally love to see built.
Originals, not the obvious ones. Pick one, remix it, or ignore them entirely — no extra points for choosing any of these.
A router that gets cheaper as it learns — watches which model nails each type of question, then quietly routes future queries to the cheapest model that still clears the bar.
A build-in-public co-pilot that reads your git commits and drafts an honest daily progress post.
A 'second opinion' layer — fire the same prompt at three models, diff their answers, surface only the disagreements for a human to settle.
A RAG assistant for Bharat's paperwork — Hindi/Tamil/Marathi government forms and notices, with the exact source line cited back.
Turn any YouTube lecture into a study kit: clean notes, quiz, and flashcards delivered in one click.
