Productivity.
Two days of building. One question: how do we help every actor in our ecosystem get 3x, 5x, 10x more done with less friction?

One submission per team. Teams can be 1 — 6 people. The captain fills it in; anyone else on the team gets pinged once it's saved.
Door B · The boardEvery idea

Every team that's registered lands here. Crews flagged "open to joiners" are still hunting for people — tap Ask to join and the captain gets a ping. The rest are full; browse them for inspiration.

We'll mix you
into one.
Drop your name in the lucky pool. We pair you with people from other functions — engineering, design, ops, support, data — into a "random" mixed-skills team. We've found these end up surprisingly competitive.
You'll be matched on Tuesday, Jun 2 — before the 15:00 deadline. You can still bow out if the team isn't a fit.

Winners announcement
Palme d'Or by general vote · Prix du Jury by the committee.
PrizesTwo categories.
Two categories.
Both real.
The people's pick.
Main competition category — winner chosen by general voting after the demos. The most prestigious and honorable one, with gift certificates for the whole team.
Gift certificates · per team member
The jury's pick.
Professional committee recognition for the most interesting or promising project. Shortest path to having a sponsor who'll help push it further as a stable feature release. Jury details to come.
Gift certificates · per team member
Judging note — for both categories, the size of the productivity multiplier counts as much as polish. A rough 10x beats a polished 1.5x. Build for impact first.
FAQThe boring
The boring
but important bits.
Who can take part?
Every FYUL employee, across every function. AI tooling means you don't need to be an engineer to ship something — designers, PMs, marketers, support, ops, data: all welcome.
How big are teams?
1 — 6 people. Solo teams are welcome; so are cross-functional crews of up to six. If you don't have a team yet, drop into the lucky pool and we'll mix you into one.
What's the OpenRouter key situation?
Each team gets up to USD 100 of AI spend through a shared OpenRouter key. Tick the box on the registration form and we'll provision it before kick-off on Jun 3. The list of approved models and the security rules around what you can and can't pipe through it ship with the kick-off doc.
Is it remote or in-office?
Remote-first. Kick-off, team formation and final presentations all happen in a Google Meet call. Anyone is welcome to drop in. If your crew wants to gather in an office, let us know on the form so we can hold seats.
Can I edit my team after submitting?
Yes — captains get a magic link in their confirmation email. Edit until Jun 2 at 15:00. After that the lineup is locked.
What about IP and what we build?
Standard FYUL IP rules. The point of a hackathon is to validate ideas — the most promising ones go into a follow-up review with product leadership.
