In September 2023, we launched Codegeist Unleashed,  Atlassian's annual hackathon that challenged developers to build AI apps to improve their experience, propel collaboration, and enhance data-driven insights. Over 1700 participants across 80+ countries threw their hat in the ring to enter to win $172,500 in prizes and the opportunity to go to Amsterdam for Atlassian Presents: Unleash. 

Disruption is the foundation of any hackathon and we are blown away by the innovative uses of AI to fuel workplaces by making them more cohesive, productive, and efficient. These submissions have illuminated the brilliance and versatility within the Atlassian Developer Community, and we are so grateful for the time and effort invested into this competition. 

Thanks to all our participants. You can review this project gallery to see all the submissions. With so many worthwhile contributions, you didn't make judging easy, but we have selected our winners.
