Facebook is passionate about bringing the world closer together by advancing artificial intelligence - connecting people to what they care about, powering new, meaningful experiences, and advancing the state-of-the-art through open research and accessible tooling.

Wit.ai is Facebook's AI technology enabling people to interact with products using voice and text.

Whether you’re just getting started, or an experienced pro, we invite you to submit an engaging voice-enabled app for consumers featuring natural language interactions that leverage the Wit.ai platform.  We’re looking for innovative solutions in the following categories: Day-to-day Basics, Social Coordination, Local Discovery, Media Consumption, Fitness, Voice/AR Navigation, Voice Games, Shopping Assistant, and Entertainment.

Not only is this a chance to put your skills to the test and try out the new version of Wit.ai, but you’ll also discover that you don't need to be an AI/ML developer to build powerful natural language experiences that can solve real problems right away. 

In addition, you will connect with a global community of like-minded developers, benefit from educational resources and be in the running to win some awesome cash prizes. 

We’ll also be providing a free swag giveaway* to each team member from an eligible submission.
