On Demo Day, teams pitched live before a judge and an engaged audience, answering questions in real time and showcasing how AI can transform the startup process from concept to launch. The event showcased a diverse range of AI-driven ventures, from voice-cloning translation apps and driver-safety dashcams to generative media copilots, AI avatar platforms, and habit trackers for couples, highlighting how AI can transform the entrepreneurial process from concept to launch.

Here were a few highlights: 

• Hearing our cloned voices speaking to us in a different language through VoiceLink - an application that clones voices and translates them in real time, preserving tone and style across languages
• Seeing the live driver monitoring feed for Vision Drive Technology – a dashcam-integrated software using facial recognition to monitor fatigue and distraction, designed for driving schools with built-in coaching and driver-assist features
• Watching a video entirely produced by universal-ai.xyz – an AI content engine for the creator economy 
• 3D TikTok for AI Characters – a platform where users select AI characters as avatars/filters to create content, stream live, and build influencer personas
• Learning about Pulse, a couples’ habit tracker – a lifestyle app for couples to set, track, and achieve shared goals with AI-powered guidance

Together, these pitches captured the spirit of the event: bold, experimental and creative, with AI taking center stage as the ultimate cofounder. It was a vivid reminder that, in today’s startup landscape, AI doesn’t just support the process—it truly does it all.
