WHAT IS
PROMPTWARS?

A one-day arena where prompt engineering meets raw engineering. Teams are handed constraints, data and a clock — and are judged on how sharply they can turn intelligence into something that works.

Hosted by the department of data science at dr. m.g.r. educational and research institute, in association with AUDI. Placeholder copy — replace with the final brief.
