Together with EPAM Ukraine and the WINWIN AI Center of Excellence, we held the first Diia.AIContest hackathon. The goal was to develop new services for the Diia ecosystem using artificial intelligence.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cFor three weeks, teams worked on new AI products for the Diia application. 270 participants applied for the hackathon, and 10 teams with the strongest prototypes made it to the final. The solutions of the winning teams have every chance of becoming new services for citizens in the Diia ecosystem,\u201d<\/em> noted Danylo Tsvok, Chief AI Officer of the Ministry of Digital Transformation and CEO of the WINWIN AI Center of Excellence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Three winners received grants totaling $8,000 and support from EPAM Ukraine mentors. Most importantly, their solutions may appear in the Diia application:<\/p>\n Hackathon participants also developed:<\/p>\n \u2022<\/span> An AI navigator for utility services<\/strong> \u2014 helps quickly determine where to turn with a utility problem and automatically generates a proper appeal, saving users time.<\/p>\n \u2022<\/span> A service for checking document photos<\/strong> \u2014 ensures that photos for documents in Diia are submitted correctly the first time, with instant feedback on the picture quality.<\/p>\n \u2022<\/span> \u201cRodovid\u201d (Family Tree)<\/strong> \u2014 a digital genealogical tree \u2014 helps research, store, and visualize one’s family history.<\/p>\n \u2022<\/span> An internal AI assistant \u201cYana\u201d for the design team<\/strong>. It automates routine work in creating new Diia services, accelerates the prototyping of AI solutions for internal teams of the Ministry of Digital Transformation and partners, and facilitates the onboarding of new teams.<\/p>\n \u201cOver 20 years in Ukraine, we at EPAM have been convinced that real change requires not only technical skills but also drive, and Diia.AIContest clearly confirmed this. The teams didn’t wait for ideal conditions but created reality here and now \u2014 the intensity of the work is best illustrated by the numbers: 800 million tokens and 120 thousand requests passed through our EPAM AI\/Run platform alone. This hackathon proved that Ukraine has powerful potential in developing AI solutions in the field of public services,\u201d<\/em> notes Vadym Vlasenko, AI Director at EPAM Ukraine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Over three weeks, the teams completed six workshops from experts at EPAM Ukraine and AWS, as well as Q&A sessions with the Diia team. All participants learned how to create AI assistants, work with large language models on the EPAM AI\/Run platform, and automate request processing.<\/p>\n The hackathon showed how strong the community of innovators is, ready to change the country today. And this is just the beginning \u2014 even more technological breakthroughs, new products, and teams that will create the future of the Diia ecosystem and digital Ukraine are ahead.<\/p>\n The cloud infrastructure for the hackathon was provided by Amazon Web Services, which supplied the necessary tools and environment for working on the prototypes.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Together with EPAM Ukraine and the WINWIN AI Center of Excellence, we held the first Diia.AIContest hackathon.
