What if every young person with a business idea had their own AI co-founder? That’s the challenge we embraced during the Luxembourg Tech School Summer AI Camp, a one-week deep dive into how AI can be used not just to code, but to create real-world change. Over the course of five intense days, we explored the intersection of AI and creativity, learned to build and structure machine learning models, and practiced prompt engineering to make AI tools more responsive and useful. We experimented with agentic AI through IBM’s WatsonX Orchestrate, and trained large-scale models using the MeluXina Supercomputer at LuxProvide A highlight of the week was our visit to the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), where we were inspired by researchers like Dimitra Anastasiou who showed us how LIST used technology to solve real-world challenges. As part of the program, my teammates and I were tasked with designing a solution to a real-world problem using AI - and that’s where Hu$tle came to life. 💡 Hu$tle is an AI-powered assistant designed to help young entrepreneurs (15–25) build real businesses from scratch. It guides users through: • Dynamic, personalized business plans • Real-time SWOT analysis that evolves with each input • Skill gap detection and upskilling suggestions • Step-by-step action plans based on their business stage (idea, pre-launch, or post-launch) • A partner-matching tool that maps team skills and identifies what’s missing We pitched Hu$tle to a panel of industry experts, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. They saw Hu$tle as a tool with real potential to empower the next generation of founders - especially those who don’t have traditional support systems. Huge thanks to Luxembourg Tech School (LTS) our mentors Julia B., Juan Tarazona, Emma Pérez Veiga,Marty van de Korput,Dr. Abd El Rahman Shabayek,Dr. Sergio Coronado,Nicla M. Notarangelo, Christophe Trefois, PhD and the amazing girls I got to work alongside Chiara Safar, A M. It’s amazing what you can build in just 7 days when creativity, technology, and purpose come together.
