Join us for the Twilio Challenge: $5,000 in Prizes!

dev.to staff - Jun 12 - - Dev Community

We are so delighted to partner with Twilio for a new DEV challenge.

Running through June 23, the Twilio Challenge is all about combining the power of AI with the magic of Twilio. We have one prompt for this challenge but four ways to win.

From Messaging to Voice Intelligence to everything in between, Twilio is the go-to platform for global communications that every developer should have experience building with. Flex your creativity and AI skills in whatever language you want, and add another impressive project to your portfolio!

Our Prompt

For this challenge, your mandate is to Build an AI-driven Experience that Leverages Twilio.

You are free to use any Twilio product and any third-party AI tool/API - the world is your oyster! For those of you who don’t want to start from scratch, we encourage you to build on top of an existing Twilio project so long as you add a new AI element to it.

And for those of you who would like some incentivized guidelines, we have three additional prize categories for you to consider…😉

  • Twilio Times Two: Awarded to a top submission that utilizes two or more Twilio APIs.
  • Impactful Innovators: Awarded to a top submission that drives positive impact (social, environmental, etc).
