And the finalists are...

Builders,

Congratulations on making it to the finish line!

You gave the judges a hard task and we had several close candidates for the finalists, but all the votes have been tallied and judging done.

After looking at all the judges votes in Devpost, and looking at your votes of your peers directly in devpost, we have our three finalists: Two from the judges and then the Viewers Choice popular vote.

Your Finalists

Claro

Builder: Genisis Smith

Devpost: https://devpost.com/software/claro-av7qjs

Claro turns intimidating documents — medical bills, lease notices, government letters, school forms — into plain-language summaries with urgency ratings and concrete next steps. Built for immigrants, elderly parents, and the family helpers who navigate paperwork alongside them.

Cyrano

Builder: Michael Odubiyi

Devpost: https://devpost.com/software/cyrano-i3e7mr

Cyrano is an AI networking copilot for career pivoters: paste a job posting and it returns 8–10 real people at the firm, each scored on actual overlap with your background, plus a drafted outreach message and four-step nurture cadence. Top matches show ~34% predicted reply rates versus ~3% for cold LinkedIn DMs.

Practitioner Signal - Viewers Choice

Builder: Wanci Nana

Devpost: https://devpost.com/software/practitioner-signal

Practitioner Signal takes a professional's career history and runs three parallel AI research agents to produce a structured "Practitioner Brief" — naming their unique career crossing, mapping their highest-value audience, and generating a two-tier consulting rate. It is the supply-side engine for The HEN, a marketplace for experts with non-traditional, high-signal career crossings.

Please take a moment to congratulate our finalists and give them support as they prepare to give a 3 minute only pitch infront of the entire MLT 20 Conference, Thursday at 1:30 pm (Note the new time).

Online Voting

But … now it’s time to take this to to the world. At 5pm EST, https://mlt20buildathon.events.wncp.ai/vote will go live.

We are going to open voting to everyone on the internet. It will account for 60% of the determining our top winner.

And we are introducing the People’s Choice award. We had so many great entrees that we want to share them with all of MLT. Voting is open to everyone and we will be crowning a People’s Choice winner among everyone who didn’t make it as a finalist.
