I Built an App for Higgsfield’s $100,000 Contest - Here’s How (FREE Prompts)

How to Create an AI App for a $100,000 Contest

Introduction to the Contest

• Hexfield is offering a $100,000 prize for the best AI app, and the speaker has created an app called Sizzle that generates commercials from food photos.

• The video will provide a step-by-step guide on how to create your own app using Cloud Code without needing coding skills.

Competition Details

• The total prize pool includes $25,000 for first place, $15,000 for second place, and $10,000 for third place; ten additional prizes of $5,000 each are available.

• Participants have about 9 days to enter the competition with open themes ranging from productivity tools to games and image/video generation apps.

Submission Guidelines

• Submissions close on July 22nd; winners will be announced on July 29th. Eligibility requires participants to be at least 18 years old and have a Hexfield account.

• The speaker emphasizes that following their guidance can significantly increase chances of winning due to structured research and implementation steps provided in the video.

Getting Started with Cloud Code

• Viewers are encouraged to sign up for a Cloud account if they haven't already; both desktop and web versions can be used. The speaker uses Fable 5 as it is extended until July 19th.

• A prompt pack containing essential prompts will be shared for free in a community resource section which viewers can access by joining the community link provided in the description.

Building Your App: Step-by-Step Process

• The first step involves generating ideas using an ID machine prompt that focuses on creating apps where users generate multiple images or videos per session. This is crucial as higher user engagement increases winning potential in the contest.

• After generating ideas based on user niches (e.g., food), viewers should copy prompts into Cloud Code while ensuring they specify their niche correctly before submitting requests for app ideas.

Showcasing Sizzle: Features & Capabilities

• Sizzle allows users to upload food photos and generates various commercial styles suitable for social media marketing; this addresses real needs within restaurants looking for engaging content creation solutions.

• An interaction with Jarvis (the speaker's AI assistant) confirms that restaurants would likely pay for such services due to their marketing needs, reinforcing the app's market viability.

Finalizing App Development

• Once ideas are generated through prompts, users must verify model names against live Hexfield catalogs before proceeding with building their apps using specific models recommended by Cloud Code based on popularity and effectiveness in generating content.

• Users need to install Hexfield MCP connectors properly within Cloud Code before finalizing project creation steps outlined by Hexfield’s official instructions during development phases of their apps.

Publishing Your App

• After completing all necessary steps including testing functionalities through polish passes, users can publish their apps directly via Cloud Code which automatically handles submission guidelines ensuring compliance with contest rules.

Conclusion & Next Steps

• Viewers are reminded of the importance of sharing their published app links across social media platforms using designated hashtags like #HicksfieldApp before submitting them officially into the contest system.

• Additional resources including paid communities focused on advanced learning about AI assistants like Jarvis are mentioned as options available post-video viewing.
