​Challenge

​AI for Government is about turning public complexity into real products. This includes government agencies as well as the broader ecosystem around them — procurement teams, compliance functions, policy groups, contractors, and public-facing organizations.

​Washington runs on applications, filings, audits, regulatory analysis, and consulting-built software that hasn’t aged well. There is real opportunity to build better tools.

​In this four-hour sprint, build an AI product that improves a government or government-adjacent workflow — with the ambition of becoming a YC-scale company.

​Ideas might include:

• ​AI systems that help agencies process applications and filings

• ​Software that accelerates fraud investigations and organizes evidence

• ​LLM-powered alternatives to traditional government consulting and compliance work

• ​Modern infrastructure for public-facing organizations

​Or something unexpected that makes public systems work better. No prior government experience required.

​Prizes

​$5,000 in cash prizes:

​🥇 1st Place: $3,500 ​| 🥈 2nd Place: $1,000 ​| 🥉 3rd Place: $500
