With AI + bitmark, we enter a new era of interactive content creation: no more slow, expensive, proprietary tools — just describe it once, and AI generates it instantly. We challenge you to build an open-source AI editor based on bitmark in 24 hours that transforms simple text prompts into interactive quizzes, lessons, or recipes — instantly, seamlessly, and without technical hurdles.
