Unleash Your Innovation: Shape the Future of Skincare and eCommerce.
Calling all builders, creators, and visionaries: it’s time to completely reimagine the way we shop. The YouCam API Skin AI & eCommerce VTO Hackathon is your launchpad.
We’re unlocking our most advanced, market-tested AI and AR infrastructure just for you. It's time to build the real-world, scalable products, including cutting-edge Agentic AI workflows.
We’re challenging you to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Seamlessly integrate YouCam APIs into your wildest ideas, whether that means engineering a self-learning styling assistant, a hyper-personalized skin analysis tool, or an entirely new solution to everyday consumer pain points.
Bring your boldest concepts to the table, and we’ll back your vision with serious prize money. Are you up for the challenge?

Requirements
What to Build
Like our previous hackathon, your challenge is to integrate at least one YouCam API into a functional web or mobile prototype that delivers clear consumer or retail value. (For India region, please click HERE)
We want fresh, unexpected solutions to real-world pain points in beauty, fashion, or eCommerce, not surface-level wrappers. The experience must be intuitive enough that a first-time user instantly grasps its value.
Whether it’s a brand-new build or a major upgrade to an existing project, show us real impact beyond a simple API call!

Judging Criteria
-
Technological Implementation:
How thoroughly and skillfully does the project integrate at least one YouCam API? Does the project demonstrate clear consumer or retail value? Does the code reflect genuine effort and a working, non-trivial implementation? -
Design
Does the project deliver a complete, coherent product experience — not just a technical proof of concept? -
Potential Impact
Does the project make a credible, specific case for solving a real problem for a real audience — and does the solution actually address that problem based on what's demonstrated? -
Quality of Idea
Is this a creative, non-obvious use of at least one YouCam API — and does the team demonstrate genuine understanding of the problem space they're working in?
