Facilitators who have done it before

More than 120 hackathons behind us. We know what tends to go wrong, and how to avoid it.

A prototype within 48 hours

87% of teams have something running before the event ends. Not slides. Software.

Built to be used

3 out of 5 prototypes from our hackathons are in use within 90 days.

The AI skills stay

Participants go from having heard of ChatGPT to using AI in their everyday work.

Not like the others

What does a corporate AI hackathon give you?

Months compressed into days

Classic innovation projects take quarters. We compress the work into 1 to 3 days and deliver something that actually works.

Software, not slides

Teams leave the hackathon with demo-ready software they built themselves. 87% have a working prototype within 48 hours.

Energy that spreads

Time pressure and a little competition create a kind of working energy you rarely see on a normal day at the office.

AI skills that stick

People learn AI tools best by using them on a real problem. Participants take ChatGPT, Claude and automation tools back into their daily work.

Your problem, not a sandbox exercise

We work on the challenge that actually keeps you up at night, not a generic scenario recycled from another company.

From prototype to production

3 out of 5 prototypes are in use within 90 days. We deliver an implementation roadmap and ROI tracking, so the work does not stop when the event ends.

AI at every step

How AI is used in every phase

An AI hackathon is more than an event. It is a structured process where generative AI plays an active part from the first phase to the last.

Framing the challenge with AI

Before the hackathon we use AI to analyse stakeholder interviews, map business challenges and gather comparable examples, so participants arrive with a sharply defined problem.

AI tools used

ChatGPTClaudePerplexity
“Before an AI hackathon, generative AI is used to analyse stakeholder input and identify the business challenges with the greatest potential for an AI solution.”

Example

A typical outcome is a short list of concrete AI opportunities, ranked by value and feasibility, agreed with management before the day.

E-commerce and retail

Danish e-commerce company

50,000products enriched every day

During a one-day hackathon the team built an automated pipeline in n8n that accepts supplier data in any format, normalises it into one shared master data set and enriches every product line with AI: search-optimised brand copy, automatic image improvements and translations into four languages. At the end, the pipeline generates exports tailored to each customer. One distribution partner receives a CSV with 12 fields, another an XML file with 47 fields, a third a JSON export straight into its product database. 50,000 products now run through the pipeline every day without a single manual click.

“We used to have three full-time employees maintaining product data. Now it runs automatically, and the quality is higher than ever, because people make mistakes and a well-built workflow does not.”

Telemarketing and B2B sales

Danish telemarketing company

3xmore qualified calls per day

During a one-day hackathon the team built an automated lead pipeline that gathers publicly available sources, enriches each lead with AI-generated insight on the industry, recent news and likely pain points, and combines it all into a personalised call brief that the rep receives 30 minutes before the call. The brief contains conversation openers based on real context, not guesswork. The reps now make three times as many qualified calls a day, not because they work faster, but because they spend their time talking instead of preparing.

“Our sales reps now go into calls better prepared than ever. They spend the time they used to spend on preparation talking to more people. It is the best productivity improvement I have seen.”

Consulting and professional services

Danish consultancy

85%less time spent on invoicing

During a two-day hackathon the team built an automated invoicing workflow that pulls data from all five sources: Outlook for emails with agreed terms, shared drives for contracts, virk.dk and proff.dk for business register data, Google Maps for the mileage between consultant and client, and the internal timesheet system. The workflow gathers everything per client and period, validates it against the agreed terms, and delivers an invoicing basis ready for bookkeeping in exactly the format the company's accounting system expects. Invoicing time is down 85 percent, no visits are forgotten, and the bookkeepers get a data set they can trust.

“We were probably not invoicing everything we should have. Now the process is so simple that our consultants actually do it, and the bookkeepers have never had it easier.”

Frequently asked questions

Answers to your questions

What is an AI hackathon?↓
In 1 to 3 days, mixed teams go from a business problem to working software. Not an idea on a slide, but something that can be demonstrated and developed further. Using ChatGPT, Claude and n8n as the main building blocks, participants build the kind of solution they would normally have to request from the IT department. A sharp problem goes in, a prototype comes out. 87% of teams at our hackathons have something running within 48 hours.
Can the hackathon be run in English?↓
Yes. We facilitate AI hackathons in English or Danish, and mixed-language teams work fine. Briefings, materials and the final report can be delivered in whichever language suits your organisation. If your people also need training before or after the hackathon, the AI courses run by our sister company Fremtidslaboratoriet can be held in English or Danish too. Tell us about your team and we will suggest a setup.
Who can take part in an AI hackathon?↓
Any employee can take part, whatever their technical background. The best teams are cross-functional: a mix of people with business understanding, deep subject expertise and some technical curiosity. Nobody needs to know how to code beforehand. We introduce all the AI tools you need as part of the programme, and our AI coaches are on hand throughout.
How much does an AI hackathon cost?↓
Prices start from DKK 15,000 for a half-day AI hackathon and go up to DKK 75,000 for a three-day AI innovation marathon. The one-day AI hackathon at DKK 25,000 is our most popular format. The price depends on duration, number of participants and how much tailoring you need. No standard packages and no hidden extras. See the full overview on our pricing page.
Which AI tools are used in a hackathon?↓
It depends on the challenge, but we typically use ChatGPT and Claude to generate ideas and text, no-code tools such as n8n to connect systems and build AI agents, and tools such as Midjourney or Kling for visual mockups. If the prototype needs a user interface, we build it quickly with no-code AI tools. You do not need to know any of them in advance; the facilitators get you started. We always choose the tools based on your specific case, not on what happens to be fashionable.
