Transforming Productivity with Artificial Intelligence
This competition, co-sponsored by The Fresh Market, UNCG IT and Spartan Cyber Guardian Academy, challenges undergraduate and graduate students from all majors at UNCG to work in small teams of up to 3 students and develop innovative AI-driven solutions that enhance business productivity. Participants will explore AI to build products such as chatbots, decision support tools, and agentic workflows, and submit a 5-minute demo video as the final deliverable.
Teams may register for one of two tracks:
- AI/ML Track
Teams will identify a problem of their choice and develop an AI-powered solution. Projects may leverage machine learning, deep learning, predictive analytics, or generative AI approaches. The primary evaluation criterion is the solution’s real-world impact and decision-support value rather than technical complexity alone. - Agentic AI Track – Grocery Retail Focus
Teams will design a Single-Agent or Multi-Agent AI solution for a Grocery Retail Business context. Example applications include:- Agentic dashboards for inventory management
- Grocery waste reduction management
- Dynamic pricing agents
- Executive decision-support systems
