Update #2: We have re-evaluated our submissions for "Real-Time AI Innovators" selected a new winner shared below. Thanks everyone for your patience and apologies for the confusion and frustration this has caused.
Update #1: We are in the process of to re-evaluating submissions for the Real-Time AI Innovators prompt. We will update this post when a final decision has been made. Thank you all for your patience!
The wait is over! We are thrilled to announce the winners of the Redis AI Challenge.
We saw everything from AI-powered news aggregation platforms that deliver personalized content to forum backends using Redis as a primary database to combat spam. We even saw a reimagined version of the "Plants vs. Zombies" game, running its entire backend on Redis. The sheer diversity of projects showed off the community's ingenuity and truly pushed the boundaries of what's possible with real-time data platforms.
We hope you had a blast working on your project and are proud of what you created, regardless of whether you're taking home a prize.
Without further ado, here are our winners.
Congratulations Toโฆ
DSA Interview Ready
@divyasinghdev's voice-based AI-powered interview prep assistant helps students practice speaking their DSA logic out loud, just like in real tech interviews.
We love that DSA Interview Ready helps candidates communicate under pressure, a part of the interview process that's typically very difficult to train for.
Redis Place: Building r/place with 9 Redis Data Structures
We were blown away by @mehdi's "Redis Place," a collaborative real-time pixel art canvas inspired by Reddit's r/place. We love that every single feature is powered by Redis as the primary database, with no traditional database in sight.
From real-time collaboration with instant pixel updates to an analytics dashboard and even a time-travel replay system, "Redis Place" is a phenomenal example of what Redis can do far beyond caching.
Our two prompt winners will each receive $1,500 USD, a DEV++ Membership, and an exclusive DEV badge. All participants will receive a completion badge for their fantastic work!
Our Sponsor
A huge thank you to Redis for making this challenge possible. Their powerful platform makes it possible to create the ultra-fast, AI-enhanced experiences that users now expect and we hope you continue building with them!

Oh wow,I didn't expect to win this challenge since i've seen so many good submissions! Thanks to the jury, and congrats to everyone who participated!
I had a great time working with Redis for this project. Thank you Dev.to for another incredible challenge.
Thank you to the mods @jess , @ben for all the hardwork you do. Checking all the submissions, all the timely updates, notifications and helping us out when we reach out.
Congrats! Really impressive submissions.
Hi @ben , Have one doubt that i thought two winners will be selected from 2 different categories like one prompt one winner but in this case both the winners were prompted for Beyond the cache ?
Yep there was supposed to have different categories winners... no? I was actually apply to "Real-Time AI Innovators". @ben No winners came out from that category?
Just to confirm i checked previous challenges and there they were choosing winners based on prompt categories
Hey @varshithvhegde, @marcosomma, and @fm,
Even though KeyPilot was submitted for "Beyond the Cache", the project clearly qualified for both prompts and excelled as a Real-Time AI Innovators submission. The template requirements were the same for both prompts, so we felt it was fair to award KeyPilot as the winner here.We're in the process of investigating this further based on some new information from a deeper technical evaluation. We'll keep folks posted on who the final winner will be for Real-Time AI Innovators.
Thanks for your feedback, and apologies for the confusion and frustration this has caused.
Good catch! ๐
I noticed that too!
yeah , i am also confused ... @jess @ben we may need some explanations here
To be fair though, @joeljaison394's submission is a great candidate for the "Real Time AI" prompt, even though he didn't specifically declare the prompt in his post.
Also, his post title and body mentions "Real-Time AI", "Real Time" multiple times, so I'm sure it qualifies.
BTW, I think I've read somewhere on dev.to (not sure where), judges may choose a winner of a prompt category even if the submission didn't mention it specifically.
Congrats! These were cool to see
Congrats @joeljaison394 and @mehdi ๐ฅณ
Bookmarked the projects! Will check when I get time!
Everyone else who submitted projects but didn't win: please keep it up and better luck next time!
Thank you ๐
Congrats to winners!
watch out next time! :D
Congratulations @joeljaison394 and @abelboby ๐ฅ๐
