HACKATHON
AI Builder Day: Rebuild a frustrating app — free
Nov. 17-20, 2026 | Starts at 9 a.m. PT
Bad software? Build it better.
Some tools make simple tasks harder than they should be. This is your chance to rebuild one the way you wish it worked.
Here is your challenge: Pick an application that frustrates you — then build a better alternative with Aha! Builder. Work solo or with a team to reimagine the experience and create a working prototype that solves the problem.
You do not need to rebuild the entire application. Focus on the tasks that matter most and show us a better way to get them done.
Walk away with more than a better application.
Build your AI skills: Get hands-on experience and guidance from Aha! experts
Earn an AI Builder badge: Receive a badge and certificate to showcase your skills
Win six months of Aha! Builder: Compete for a free subscription to keep building
