I gave away $1M to prove anyone can build with AI

From the creator

Episode 4 of the AI gold rush docuseries takes us through the Bolt Hackathon, which became the world's largest hackathon with over 130,000 participants creating more than 1 million new web apps. You’ll see me give away $1M dollars in prizes to total beginners who just decided to try. And you’ll see people exactly like you with nothing more than a laptop and an idea — building something real. We are just at the beginning. If you’re curious how the AI wave is enabling people to build products, start businesses and become entrepreneurs right now, you’re gonna want to watch this. Millions of people who wouldn’t be entrepreneurs are going to be entrepreneurs because of AI. Welcome to the AI Gold Rush.
