We are thrilled to partner with Coze to bring the community our next AI challenge — this time, a challenge all about bots and building plugins or workflows related to bots!
Running through April 28, the Coze AI Bot Challenge will be an opportunity to try a bot development platform, build on top of GPT-4 for free, deploy something powerful, and win cash prizes. There are two prompts for this challenge, but four ways to win!
Coze offers a low-barrier way for developers to leverage AI models and build something incredible, so no matter your experience level, we really hope you give this a try!

In addition to being able to win each prompt, there are two more prize categories you can work towards:
- Most Popular: awarded to a top submission with a high number of users.

How To Participate
In order to participate, you will need to publish a post using the submission template for your prompt. All bots participating in the challenge should be published in the Coze Bot Store, and all plugins should be published in the Coze Plugin Store. The Coze Workflow Marketplace is still a work in progress, so workflows only need to be shared as a direct link in your submission.
Everything you need to build your bot, plugin, or workflow is currently free on the Coze development platform so there are no barriers to getting started!
All submissions will be judged based on the free platform, so any use of Coze’s API (paid service) will be taken into account during judging.
