Oh wow! Thank you SO MUCH, Contra team! That's amazing news! We'll be donating our winnings to SickKids Hospital in Toronto, as well as $1 from each sale of our eBook. We appreciate the support!
Oh my god!! I'm so honoured! Thank you so much for inviting me to this challenge and allowing us to step outside our comfort zones and really think about building something valuable. I'm beyond excited 😍 🎉 🚀
Laura’s Clarity Engine is one of the most forward-thinking examples of packaging AI expertise right now. Laura took their domain knowledge and encoded it into a reusable AI skill. It’s a great example of how independents can productize their knowledge into AI tools.
Congrats everyone! Love seeing so much talent here

You now have until next Friday (9/25) to submit to the Cantina Challenge!
We can't wait to see what you create with the extra time to build and refine 🚀
If you saw my update the other day, you saw I was inspired by my real-life dog to create the main character for this challenge.
Now, imagine my surprise when my husband had the idea to adopt this little thing today! I'm attaching a photo of the new puppy, and the character I created for this challenge.
This feels scripted, but I swear it's not!
PS: needless to say, this deadline extension will come in super handy because...what do you mean I have a new puppy?!??
your real dog as the challenge character is so cute. same color as the puppy?
