FilecoinTLDR Builder Challenges is a series of AI-guided mini hackathons for non-builders, first-time builders, and builders of all experience levels.

The goal is simple: Use AI to hack together a working prototype while leveraging the Filecoin stack.

Participants will use tools like Claude Code, along with provided markdown files and prompting frameworks, to brainstorm, plan, build, debug, and ship small Filecoin-powered prototypes.

This is not about following a fixed tutorial or building the same app as everyone else.

Each challenge gives participants a clear theme, but leaves room for creativity. The goal is to build something small, working, and memorable where Filecoin is part of the product experience, not just hidden backend storage.

Program goal
The goal of FilecoinTLDR Builder Challenges is to help more people start building with Filecoin by using AI as their build partner.
Each challenge is:

• AI-guided – participants use Claude Code and provided markdown files to plan and build
• hands-on – participants create a real working demo
• focused – each challenge has one clear theme or build direction
• practical – projects should be small enough to build in a short sprint
• showcase-driven – participants share what they built publicly

[Ongoing]Cycle 2 Challenge Task: Build an AI Agent That Uses Filecoin
Core Idea: Build an agent, agent workflow, or agent tool that uses Filecoin for memory, logs, datasets, proofs, or storage.

By the end of each challenge, participants should have:

• a working demo or prototype
• real interaction with the Filecoin stack
• a clearer understanding of how to build with Filecoin using AI
• a public showcase of what they built
