Anthropic Hackathon 2026

SYNQ

AlphaGo for Ads.

AI generates 5 emotional ad variants, scores them with a multi-model emotion pipeline, then autonomously improves the best one in real-time.

The Pipeline

Three stages, zero human intervention. From brief to brain-scored creative in seconds.

Multi-Model Scoring

VADER + DistilRoBERTa + CLIP

Three specialized models converge on a single emotion score. Lexical sentiment, transformer-level context, and visual-semantic alignment fused into one pipeline.

Autonomous Ratchet

Self-Improving Loop

Karpathy-inspired iteration where AI rewrites its own ad copy, scores the result, keeps improvements, discards regressions. The score only goes up.

Brain Mapping

Neural Activation Viz

Real-time visualization of which emotional pathways each ad variant activates. See the neural fingerprint of persuasion rendered as a living graph.

Watch the Score Climb

The ratchet loop runs live. Submit a brief, then watch as AI autonomously pushes the emotion score higher, iteration after iteration.
