The brief

Pick a track.

Five spaces to ideate inside. They're a guide, not a fence — pick the one your idea fits, or land on Wild card.

01

SMB customers

Help small and mid-sized merchants launch faster, list better, market smarter and run their day-to-day with less friction.

02

Enterprise customers

Workflow orchestration, catalog ops, approvals, reporting, campaign setup and AI-assisted decisions for larger brands.

03

Suppliers

Reduce friction for print providers — onboarding, issue handling, forecasting, routing, production coordination.

04

Us (employees)

AI copilots, automation, knowledge access and internal tooling UX that make working at FYUL noticeably easier.

05

Wild card

High-potential ideas that don't sit neatly in one box but hit the productivity & convenience theme hard.

Already cooking

Latest ideas in.

A peek at what's being built. Steal ideas shamelessly — or jump on the open ones.

Timeline

From sign-up
to demo Friday.

Through Jun 2

Registration & ideas pool

Sign-ups, open-idea posts, and lucky-pool drops — all submitted before the deadline. Captains can still edit their team from the dashboard.

Tue, Jun 2 · 16:00

Sign-ups closed

Lineup locked. Mixed teams formed from the lucky pool.

Wed, Jun 3 · 10:00 – 10:45

Hackathon kick-off

OpenRouter keys provisioned and emailed to captains. Brief, Q&A, then heads-down hacking. Hosted in Google Meet.

Wed → Fri

Hacking hard

Three days, build for impact. Async by default; teams self-organise on calls. Day 3 cuts off at 15:00.

Fri, Jun 5 · 15:00 – 17:30

Demos & Presentations

Fri, Jun 5 · 17:45 – 18:00

Winners announcement

Palme d'Or by general vote · Prix du Jury by the committee.

Prizes

Two categories.
Both real.

Palme d'Or

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
Prix du Jury

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.

FAQ

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. Sign-ups (including the lucky pool) closed Jun 2 at 16:00 — if you missed it, some open crews on the board may still have room.

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. Use it to update members, pitch, or the OpenRouter request from the dashboard.

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.

We need a hand
