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.

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.

What a shame. You've changed your judging criteria right before the announcement of the winners.
It's not fair and rather disrespectful.
