Looking for sponsors, judges, and community partners for an online AI prompt challenge (Promptathon) - still on the idea stages

Hi everyone,

I’m a 15yo builder, founder of Promptyx, a platform for organizing, versioning, and testing AI prompts. I’m planning our first online competition (promptathon) and looking for a few partners to help shape it. It is still on the idea stages, so looking for initial validation

The idea is to have participants turn a recurring task into a reusable set of prompts and context that someone else can run successfully. Think turning a client brief into a proposal, preparing a weekly report, or creating content that follows a brand’s guidelines.

The challenge would focus on useful results, consistency across different inputs, and clear instructions for reuse. We’re still deciding the exact scope, so input from experienced organizers would be helpful too.

The tentative schedule is three weeks of promotion, one week for participants to build and submit (probably the first week of November), and one week for judging and results.

I’m looking for:

  • Prize partners: Tool licenses, API credits, or small monetary contributions.
  • Judges or mentors: People with experience using AI for real tasks who could review submissions or run a short session.
  • Community partners: AI communities, newsletters, or educators interested in sharing or co-hosting the event.

For partners, possible benefits include attribution on the event page, mentions during the event, an optional workshop, and inclusion in the winning-project recap. We can agree on a contribution and scope that makes sense for both sides.

This is our first edition, so I don’t have confirmed attendance numbers or sponsorships to claim. I’m starting small and would welcome practical advice as well as partnership interest.

If this sounds relevant, comment or DM me with what you do and how you’d like to get involved. Happy to share the draft format and judging rubric. As a teen who wants to build his own things and get into the AI world, this would be great for me!

What If Your Business Report Told You What to Do Next?

Not a marketing - only idea
TL;DR: A concept for a reporting tool that connects business data and delivers recurring, decision-ready briefs. Instead of showing only charts, it explains what changed, why it may have changed, what evidence supports the conclusion, and what action to take next. Users can ask follow-up questions, while uncertainty and alternative explanations remain visible. The idea still needs validation with SaaS teams, agencies, and e-commerce operators.

Businesses rarely lack data. A founder can open analytics, payments, advertising, and support tools and still not know what deserves attention first.

I have been thinking about a reporting tool built around that gap. It would connect to a company's existing sources and produce a report every day, week, or month. Instead of stopping at charts, it would explain what changed, suggest why, recommend concrete actions, and accept follow-up questions.

Every important conclusion would show its source, metric, comparison period, and confidence. The report would separate measured facts from interpretations, missing information, and alternative explanations. Recommendations would include their expected effect, cost, downside, and a safe way to test them.

The same engine could support different report structures for SaaS teams, agencies, and e-commerce operators. I would still begin with one group, probably small SaaS teams, rather than build a shallow tool for everyone.

For SaaS, that could mean connecting revenue, activation, product usage, and support. Agency reports might explain campaign performance and delivery risks. E-commerce reports could relate advertising, orders, inventory, fulfilment, returns, and repeat purchases.

AI could help connect patterns and answer questions, but it would remain an implementation detail. The promise is better decisions, not an “AI analyst.”

The system should recommend actions without executing consequential ones automatically. Its value would depend on whether people repeatedly discover something useful and make better decisions. Otherwise, it is only a prettier dashboard.

If you are a BI practitioner or run a SaaS company, agency, or e-commerce business, I would like to know: what decision did your dashboards fail to help you make recently?

Expanding Promptyx from just Prompt Engineering to also Context Engineering and more

I have been building Promptyx as a prompt management tool, mainly focused on storing prompts, versioning them, testing across models, and seeing what actually performs better.

But the more I work with LLMs, the more I feel that a prompt alone is rarely the full system.

A good result often depends on things around the prompt:

  • system instructions
  • attached knowledge or files
  • retrieved context
  • model settings
  • tool access
  • output format
  • conversation history
  • the specific task or user state

You can have a well-written prompt and still get weak results if the model has the wrong context, too much context, or no clear instructions about what to prioritize.

That is making me think Promptyx should eventually expand beyond "prompt engineering" into a broader workspace for context engineering and AI workflow design.

Not in a way where it becomes another complicated platform with endless configuration. I still want it to stay simple for someone who just wants to save and improve a useful prompt. But for more serious workflows, it seems important to track the full setup that made a result work.

For example, instead of saving only:

>

you may need to save:

  • the prompt version
  • the model and parameters
  • the brand voice context
  • example outputs
  • source documents used
  • evaluation criteria
  • the workflow steps before and after it

At that point, you are not really managing prompts anymore. You are managing repeatable AI behavior.

I am curious how other people see this.

Do you think prompt management is still a useful category by itself, or will it naturally become context/workflow management over time? And if you build with LLMs regularly, what do you currently save besides the prompt itself?

Do you think this would be good? Will you use something like this? Does a solution already exist?
Should Promptyx also expand into Graph Engineering too? What do you guys say?

How I built a $1k-quality website using Codex.... kind of

I am a 15-year-old developer, not a web designer. I had no experience in web, UI, or UX design.

Still, I went from a blank codebase to an implemented landing page with shaders, 3D, custom interaction, responsive layouts, and three mobile Lighthouse categories above 90 in about one week.

The stack was Vanilla JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, Codex, and a few design tools. The only paid requirement was a $20 ChatGPT Plus plan. The workflow was:

>Context → Plan → Mock up → Improve → Implement → Inspect → Test → Optimize

The setup

I prepared the codebase, enabled Codex and the design tools, then created context files covering Promptyx, its audience, conversion goal, brand direction, references, technical constraints, accessibility, and security.

That context mattered more than a clever prompt. “Make it modern” is how you accidentally receive fifteen glass cards and a mysterious glowing circle.

Two ways to build

When the direction is clear, plan and mock up the full page, implement it, then revise weak sections.

For experimental sections:

>Direction → two mockups → choose → improve → implement → inspect

When something looked wrong, I cropped it and sent the screenshot back to Codex with four things: the visible problem, the desired result, what must stay unchanged, and a request to inspect and test the relevant code.

The final Showcase comparison is included in the full case study; it shows the selected mockup beside the implemented responsive bento.

Looking finished was not enough

After implementation, I tested responsiveness manually and with Codex. Then I optimized assets, shaders, JavaScript, loading, and mobile fallbacks before checking keyboard access, contrast, reduced motion, SEO metadata, secrets, dependencies, and production configuration.

One informal Lighthouse run scored 94 performance, 100 accessibility, and 96 best practices on mobile; desktop scored 95, 100, and 96. SEO was 69 on both because the tested page was blocked from indexing, which prevented Google from evaluating it like a public page.

About the $1k

I did not earn $1,000 from the page. It is a market-value estimate.

Upwork currently puts responsive landing-page design around $300–$1,500 and complete design-and-build systems around $750–$2,100. WebFX lists $75–$3,000+ and charges $1,125 for its responsive template-based option. A distinctive custom build with 3D, shaders, interaction, revisions, and optimization can reasonably cross $1,000. Upwork and WebFX

Codex made the coding surprisingly easy. Quality still came from context, direction, iteration, and checking the real result.

You do not need a magical prompt. You need a useful loop.

Btw, I detailed the whole process including setup, failures, more examples, why, how, when, etc, in a full blog post - link below in the comments
