Build the core of your app ⚙️
This is a big one — it’s time to build the core functionality of your application.
By now, you should be:
-
Writing real code
-
Training or integrating models
-
Using DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI infrastructure in meaningful ways
Tips for this stage:
-
Commit early and often — judges will review your repo
-
Document setup and usage as you go (future you will be thankful)
-
Don’t overbuild — focus on what proves your idea works
If you’re planning a demo app or video walkthrough, start thinking about how you’ll show the value clearly in ~3 minutes.
You’re officially past the halfway point. Keep pushing 💪
