Frogtoberfest is back with a twist! šøāØ
For years, Frogtoberfest was about making pull request contributions. This year, itās about creating something of your ownātrading pull requests for something more meaningful. Youāll have about a month to build an open-source, AI-powered product of your choice that solves something real. Open to anyone based in Nepal, solo or in a team!
The catch? Your product has to earn the term āAI-powered.ā It should decide, use tools or external systems, hold context, or take action to complete a task. There is no fixed problem statement or prescribed domain, just a meaningful problem worth solving and the freedom to explore it your way. Weāre not counting commits; weāre looking for thoughtful ideas, strong engineering, meaningful open-source contributions, and real-world impact.
