Anna AI-Native App Hackathon

Anna AI-Native App Hackathon About the hackathon Build an installable Anna App people can #mention in Anna chat — with optional UI, tools, workflows, and saved state. Start small and compete for a $300 winner-takes-all prize. An Anna App packages an AI-powered experience users can install, mention in chat, and return to whenever they need the workflow again. Your project should feel like a real AI-native app — more than a static webpage, more than a plain chatbot. Show AI participating through a workflow, tool call, decision, generation step, structured UI, saved state, or human review. You don't need production polish or every Anna feature — a focused working prototype is enough.
