Summary
A one-day applied AI hackathon in Shinjuku built around a single rule: pick a real person with a real job and build the AI that makes that job easier. Suggested targets include clinic paperwork, manual warehouse stock counts, repetitive shop inquiries, robot arms that need visual understanding, and disliked internal workflows.
Teams of 1 to 6 (solo entries welcome) form at a structured matchmaking session at 10:30, hack until a 16:00 submission deadline, then the top five teams demo live before awards at 17:00. Prizes, sponsor credits and food all day are provided; sponsors and prizes are still to be announced. Capacity is 100 participants, and the event runs in both English and Japanese, so speaking one of them is enough.
