Show us what you've built with AI. Win up to $20,000 USD — plus $2,500 runner-up prizes for top entries.
We're inviting people everywhere to show us what they've built with AI. Ideally, your submission showcases something that helps you operate at a higher level at work — but if AI isn't available in your workplace, we're open to other use cases that have had a meaningful impact on your life or workflow.
Your submission should showcase what you've actually built with AI — not just prompted. Basic insight generation or one-off prompts won't cut it. We want to see AI connected to tools, integrated into workflows, and meaningfully improving a real process from end to end.
We'd love to see builds tied to sales motions — prospecting, outreach, pipeline management, customer engagement, or closing deals more effectively. That said, if AI isn't available in your workplace, we're open to other use cases that have had meaningful impact.
One of Zapier's core values is Build the Robot — the belief that if you're doing something repetitive, you should automate it. We don't just sell automation, we live it. This contest is a direct expression of that value: we want to see what people are actually building with AI — creating systems that do the tedious work so humans can focus on what only humans can do.
One requirement is non-negotiable. The other is strongly preferred.
AI must be meaningfully integrated — not just used for prompting or basic insight generation. We want to see AI connected to tools, embedded in workflows, and driving real outcomes. Think agents, automations, chained logic, or multi-step systems that wouldn't be practical without AI.
Ideally your build improves how you work — sales motions like prospecting, outreach, pipeline management, or customer engagement are especially compelling. If AI isn't available in your workplace, we're open to other use cases that have had a meaningful real-world impact.
Submissions are evaluated on how meaningfully AI is used, the real-world impact of the build, and how clearly it's demonstrated.
| Dimension | What We're Looking For |
|---|---|
| AI Integration Depth | How meaningfully is AI incorporated? Surface-level prompting vs. connected tools, chained logic, and multi-step workflows that wouldn't be practical without AI. |
| Real-World Impact | Does this meaningfully improve a process or outcome? Sales-related builds (prospecting, outreach, pipeline, customer engagement) are preferred — but any impactful use case will be considered. |
| Innovation & Creativity | Does this solve a real problem in a novel way? We reward original thinking and builds that go beyond the obvious. |
| Clarity of Demo | Can we understand what you built and why it matters from your video and summary? |
$25,000 in total prizes up for grabs — $20,000 for the best build, plus $2,500 each for two runners up.
