It's time to build!
Brace yourselves for a smarter app-building experience. This year, CoCreator, Zia Developer, AI models, and other key platform capabilities are at your disposal. Harness them effectively to bring your business-ready solution to life.
What's the entry fee?
There isn't one! Participate from the comfort of your preferred workspace, with no costs involved.
Who can participate?
- The hackathon is open only to Zoho Partners.
- You can participate individually or as a team of two.
- There's no cap on the number of solutions you can submit.
What we're looking for:
A business-ready solution with a clear use case, solving a real-world problem.
Efficient utilization of AI enhancements within the application, from CoCreator and Zia Developer to AI models.
Extending a solution with other Zoho apps is encouraged, and, where relevant, integrations with legacy tools like SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or any other third-party services are welcome.
Strong presentation of your app, including intuitive UI/UX, sample data, and well-designed layouts.
Note: Effective utilization of each platform capability will carry significant weight in scoring.
