Rezolve.ai is running the Clocked Build Challenge from October 21 to November 10, 2026, inviting developers to build a new working AI app that integrates at least one endpoint of its Clocked API, which returns typed decisions with probabilities, verbatim extractions with source positions, and filled records. The challenge offers $2,000 in total prizes across five awards: $600 for Best Overall App, $400 each for best use of Decide/Extract/Fill, Protect/Guard/Inspect, and Verify/Compare/Rerank, and $200 for People's Choice. Entry is free, new accounts include 4,000 credits plus 16,000 more with the code CLOCKEDHACKATHON for 20,000 total, and entries close November 10 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, with judging November 11–17 and winners announced November 18.

Disclosure: I’m with Rezolve.ai, the team behind Clocked. We’re inviting developers to build a new working AI app in the Clocked Build Challenge, October 21–November 10, 2026.

Clocked is an API for applications that need structured decisions and exact evidence rather than a generated answer. It returns typed decisions with probabilities, verbatim extractions with source positions, and filled records. Other endpoints cover PII protection, injection/script inspection, grounding verification, comparison and reranking.

The challenge is to build a new app during the three-week window that meaningfully integrates at least one Clocked endpoint. Any stack; solo builders and teams welcome. A document triage tool, a source-grounded extraction workflow, or a review app that escalates uncertain decisions are possible directions.

There are five awards: $600 Best Overall App; $400 each for best use of Decide/Extract/Fill, Protect/Guard/Inspect, and Verify/Compare/Rerank; and $200 People’s Choice. Total: $2,000.

Free entry. New accounts include 4,000 credits; CLOCKEDHACKATHON adds 16,000 more, for 20,000 total.

Entries close November 10 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Judging and voting run November 11–17; winners November 18. Participants must be 18+ and of legal age where they live; location and other restrictions apply.
