AI Hackathon
One concept in. A working AI solution out.
One to two complimentary days with your team and ArchitectNow engineers to prove an AI concept on Microsoft AI technology. We build together and deploy a real, working solution, in your tenant or our hackathon tenant, then hand you the design and the plan to scale it.
Three outcomes, built in the room.
Recommended Approach & Design
The Microsoft AI architecture for your topic, with the key decisions documented.
Working Prototype
A real solution deployed and demonstrated live: not slides, not a mockup.
Action Plan to Scale
The sequenced steps to take the prototype to production, owners named.
Six steps. Two before, three in the room, one after.
Planning Session
Pick the topic, goal, knowledge sources and Microsoft technologies in scope. Choose hosting, your tenant or ours, and single-team (collaborative) vs multi-team (competitive) format.
Readiness & Agenda
Schedule and review the targeted agenda. Confirm Microsoft service and source-knowledge readiness (access, licensing, sample data) and team onboarding steps.
Vision the Approach
Align on the Microsoft technology approach for the topic and the key design considerations before the build starts.
Execute the Build
Build hands-on with ArchitectNow engineers guiding side by side: pairing, unblocking, keeping the build on the clock.
Present the Results
Demo working builds to the wider stakeholder team. Multi-team format: the judging panel scores the builds and names the winner, with prize.
Operationalize
Agree next steps to take the winning build toward production, a natural entry to a Frontier-funded Platform Pilot.
A partner, not a vendor.
