OpenAI Build Week winners

Winners announced August 25, 2026

Build Week is a wrap — and out of 7,856 submitted projects, the judges picked eight winners across four tracks. Builders spent the week experimenting with Codex and shipping real products, and the field was strong enough that narrowing it down was genuinely hard.

Every card below links to our full write-up of the project — what it does, how it was built, and why it stood out. The judges’ verdicts are a useful signal for anyone mining the archive for ideas worth building on: these are the eight the field itself rated highest.

Apps for Your Life

Consumer apps for everyday life — productivity, creativity, home, family, travel, health, and personal finance.

Work & Productivity

Tools that make teams faster or more effective — workflow automation, customer support, analytics, sales, and back-office operations.

Developer Tools

Tools for developers — testing, DevOps, agentic workflows, and security.

Education

Projects that push AI forward for education — for students, teachers, or educational organizations.

Congratulations to all eight teams — and to everyone who shipped something that week, finished or not. Winners as announced by the organisers: official Build Week update on Devpost. Browse the whole field in the full archive of 7,856 projects.
