bitmark Hackathon 2026: Vibe Code Your bitmark-based AI-Editor in 24 hours

The bitmark Hackathon 2026 marks the end of complex editors. With AI + bitmark, we enter a new era of interactive content creation: no more slow, expensive, proprietary tools — just describe it once, and AI generates it instantly.

We challenge you to build an open-source AI editor based on bitmark in 24 hours that transforms simple text prompts into interactive quizzes, lessons, or recipes — instantly, seamlessly, and without technical hurdles.

Teams are expected to develop use cases where AI independently generates or transforms content — for example into quiz bits, recipes, or learning units.

This is the starting point for making digital learning faster, more accessible, and open to anyone.

Vibe Code The Most Innovative AI-Based Editor with the help of bitmark!

Complex, proprietary editors slow down content creation, limit user experience, and restrict opportunities for EdTechs and content providers. The open bitmark standard changes this: it enables AI-driven content generation, seamless interoperability, and a new level of creativity and scalability.

The bitmark Hackathon 2026 empowers you to rethink how editors work by combining AI + the open . Build faster, smarter, more accessible editors — and unlock what’s possible when editors become prompt-based, collaborative, and open-source.

• Invent new AI-powered approaches to creating interactive learning content.
• Collaborate with developers, educators, and publishers to build the next generation of editors.
• Use the bitmark standard to reduce complexity, accelerate production, and scale your product to broader markets.
• Connect with a diverse global community, spark new partnerships, and open the door to future business opportunities.
  

The future of learning tools is open, AI-driven, and built together. Join us and shape it.

For Companys: Get the opportunity to pitch your editor problem and let a new one be created for you

Pitch your editor challenge — and let the hackathon teams build a completely new, AI-powered solution for you. Instead of trying to fix outdated tools internally, you can bring your real-world problem to the event and get working prototypes created in just 24 hours.

If your organisation struggles with slow, outdated, or overly complex content editors, the bitmark Hackathon 2026 gives you a unique opportunity:

You define your challenge — for example “Our employees need a better editor for training modules” or “We want our recipes automatically structured”.

Hackathon teams can then choose your challenge and develop AI-driven, open-source editor prototypes tailored to your needs.

Within just 24 hours, you can walk away with fresh ideas, functional demos, and the potential foundation for a completely new editor built around AI + bitmark.

Instead of investing months into internal R&D, you can:

• present your editor pain point,
• get multiple innovative solutions created for you,
• and explore new technology and partnerships — all in one event.
