This year's hack was something different.

Before the hack we mapped the problem space at our first Discovery Jam (write-up coming soon).

Then at the weekend hack jammers shared what they learnt with the hackers. And so together they came up with project ideas that met real human needs.

The projects used AI to unlock solutions that were previously impossible. We even found ourselves using 'BullshitBotBotBot' when someone made a questionable claim about tube strikes during drinks.
