✈️ Every Maverick Needs a Wingman
Voyager Wingman is Axelera's new AI pipeline generator. You describe what you want to build, and it generates a working Metis pipeline, runs it on the hardware, and iterates until it works. The YAML and the wiring are its job. The awesome project ideas are yours.
The Prompt is our community challenge to see how far you can take that. Same hardware, same SDK, a very different starting point.
🎯 The Mission
Pitch us an idea for an AI project you want to build using Voyager Wingman prompts on Axelera’s powerhouse AI system, the Dell Pro Slim Plus XE5 with a 16GB Metis PCIe card. We’ll pick the ten most inspiring, creative project ideas, and send each selected participant a Dell XE5, and set you loose for a one-month build.
Take it out of the box, get Voyager Wingman on board (a quick install straight from the web chat), and you’re building on real Axelera silicon the same day. 🚀
Not Selected? Build Anyway!
Voyager Wingman is free and open to everyone, not just the ten project proposals we pick. So if you already have Axelera hardware, you’re welcome to join in with the challenge!
Build a working project with Voyager Wingman, meet the same submission criteria by the same deadline, and you’re in the community category. No pitch, no selection, no kit from us; just build and post. The best community submission wins an all-new Axelera AI Mini PC with a Metis M.2 Max on board! 🖥️
What We’re Looking For
The same for everyone, selected or not, your final project submission must include:
-
The prompt itself, shared in full, so the community can see where you started.
-
A working demo running on Metis. Not "it would work if...". We want to see it live and in action.
-
Your journey: The Voyager Wingman prompts you used, any iterations made with Voyager Wingman, all updates, photos, videos and code repos.
It doesn’t all have to run from the very first collaboration with Voyager Wingman, of course. It’s a journey, like any AI project. But we want you to show us how fast and how impressive Voyager Wingman is by building a project in record time. Let Wingman do the heavy lifting, while you bring the creative building.
The Need for Speed
Since Voyager Wingman throws the AI project building engines into overdrive, if you’ve finished the project you proposed ahead of schedule, why not create more? Post as many additional projects as you want to increase your chances of winning! If you’ve finished and submitted your original proposal, that is…

✍️ How to Enter
To be one of the ten: Post your project proposal right here in The Prompt challenge group in its own brand new thread, then fill in the short form on our website with your details (these details are only used to help with provision of the Dell XE5 kit if you’re selected, nothing else).
Community category: Already have your own Axelera hardware? Build your project and post it in the group before the final deadline, with your prompt, working demo and repo(s).
Go be a maverick!
