How do crowdsourced AI challenges work

Do you have data and a problem that can be solved by applying machine learning technology? Let us organize a group of up to 50 AI engineers to address the issue and come up with a production-ready AI in 10-weeks time. We’ll use our platform to facilitate a productive exchange of AI expertise.

Fruitpunch Ai provides outsourced ai solutions for businesses.We solve large scale problems for our partners by outsourcing challenges to our expert community and deliver a finished product in 10-weeks. Ai Outsourcing made easy and effective.

We’ll work with you to define deliverables for the challenge based on your problems and data available.

Start a challenge

Once we’re ready to go, we recruit the AI for Good Engineer team, the project manager, product owner, scrum master, work group coordinators and a storyteller. An open call for participants is launched via our community and marketing channels. The best AI engineers with skills relevant to your cause are selected from the pool of applicants.

Start a challenge

From kick-off, through mid-term presentation to final presentation in 10 weeks, a group of 50 participants spends 4,000 hours on the project to find a usable solution to the problem. The work group managers present their progress to you on a weekly basis. At the end, the final MVP is implemented on your systems.

Start a challenge

After the final presentation the results are shared with the public and open source communities. Participants are accredited and outcomes are shared within and beyond the AI for Good Community.
