AI Quest: Frequently Asked Questions

The FDE Top 1% AI Quest is a 100-day campus challenge by AI House and HiDevs. A new multi-agent challenge drops every 10 days, builders learn enterprise tooling and climb a global leaderboard, and only the top 1% unlock the offline finale at AI House Bangalore.

Every level is scored and added to a global leaderboard, so builders who ship consistently across the 100 days rank highest. The top 1% at the end of the Quest are invited to the offline finale at AI House in Bangalore.

No. You only need to know basic Python. The Quest is designed to teach you. Every weekly drop comes with "Intel" (documentation, starter code, and mentorship) to help you learn and build the solution before the deadline.

Levels 1 through 9 are 100% online. You build at your own pace before each 10-day deadline. Only the final Boss Level requires the Top 1% of leaderboard survivors to travel to Bangalore for the offline hackathon.

Survival requires consistency. If you miss a 10-day deadline, you will receive a heavy XP penalty on the global leaderboard, severely reducing your chances of unlocking the offline Boss Level finale.

You will build hands-on with enterprise AI agent stacks including Lyzr for multi-agent deterministic orchestration, Qdrant for persistent vector search and memory embeddings, Enkrypt for enterprise runtime guardrails, and automated red-teaming pipelines.

Both modes are welcome! You can register as an individual builder or team up with up to 3 campus peers. Leaderboard XP is aggregated per player and team, ensuring fair tracking towards the Boss Level cut-off.

Submissions undergo automated test suites verifying execution determinism, latency, memory recall precision, and vulnerability testing through adversarial peer red-teaming. AI House mentors review architecture quality to award bonus XP.

Yes! Qualified finalists who reach the Top 1% threshold receive sponsored access, travel stipend support, and accommodation arrangements to compete live at the AI House Bangalore campus.

Cash bounties from the ₹2,00,000 pool are awarded on stage during the offline Bangalore finale. Developer swag packs, hoodies, and hardware builder kits are shipped directly to stage winners throughout the campaign.

Every level drop comes with classified "Intel": starter boilerplates on GitHub, architecture flowcharts, and live Discord AMAs with industry mentors so you can debug in real time and ship your solution.
