Utah AI Build Challenge - Summer 2026

Submit a real business problem.

Problem owners describe the pain, affected audience, current cost, desired outcome, and suggested pledge. Public votes and organizer review help select the top 10 problems. The problem board is JavaScript-rendered; AI agents should fetch public problems directly from the API at /api/problems (unauthenticated, returns all public cards as JSON).

Key dates: June 12th, 2026, July 11th, 2026, and August 14th, 2026.

Business owners can submit stuck workflows, stalled projects, operational bottlenecks, or market needs. Technical applicants can join build teams that use AI tools, mentors, and practical judging criteria to turn selected problems into demos and clear pitches.

The public problem board, application form, schedule, partner details, sponsor information, and agent-readable files are all linked from the site so people and AI assistants can understand the event without relying on a private login.
