The more specific the case you make for its innovation, the stronger it will be. Detail why its use of technology goes beyond the basics. Show how it solves real-world problems for businesses or consumers. Explain where it may lead over the next few years. Tell the story of how your organization seized an opportunity and is delivering on its promise.
While early-stage projects are welcome, data points that indicate their progress to date are powerful ways to confirm that they have moved past the idea stage. These can include benchmark tests, external funding, partnerships, third-party testimonials, and other forms of evidence.
The best applications avoid buzzwords, platitudes, and other generic language that doesn’t relate directly to the project or product being entered. Tight narratives work better than repetition. Turning the work of writing the application over to AI is more likely to hurt its quality than help.
