Now that you're on a team, it's time to download and familiarize yourself with the tools you'll be using during this event. In addition to the A.I. tools that your team chooses (see the resources channel on Discord for ideas), ALL participants should have the following FREE A.I. tools downloaded and start using them asap.
1. ChatGPT (or similar) - there is a free version, sign up with any email (Bing search also uses A.I. tools if needed)

Step 7: Plan your project scope, team roles, tech stack etc...
Now that you're all signed up and ready to compete, make sure all team members are aligned on the project scope, their individual responsibilities, and the technologies your team will be using. You may prepare any accounts, designs, tools, etc before the event, but coding cannot start until the event kicks off on May 19th at 10 AM PST!
