3 New Challenges You Can Finish Tonight (With AI Help)
Pratye Aggarwal•July 22, 2026

We just published three new challenges on BrainSumo, and we designed all three to be finishable in one sitting — no design software, no code, no specialized background. Just you, an hour, and ChatGPT or Claude if you want the help.
The three challenges
- Pitch a Growth Idea for an Indian D2C Snack Brand (marketing, $50) — one specific idea to win first-time customers, argued in under 500 words.
- Name It & Brand It: Quick Identity Sprint for a Budget Grocery Delivery App (design, $55) — a name, a tagline, and a paragraph of positioning. No logo required.
- Campus Comeback: A Referral Idea for a Local Cafe (social, $55) — one referral or loyalty mechanic students would actually use.
Why we made these easy on purpose
Our first challenge on the platform was a genuinely hard hardware-engineering brief — compressor thermodynamics, battery bill-of-materials, the works. It got zero submissions in a month of promotion, and looking back, that is not surprising: we were asking a general audience to write like a mechanical engineer.
These three are the opposite. If you can open ChatGPT and write a paragraph, you can submit something worth judging.
How it works
- Sign up free at brainsumo.in
- Open a challenge and read the brief
- Draft your idea — AI-assisted is fine, copy-pasted is not
- Submit before the deadline
- The company reviews and picks a winner, who gets paid directly
All three challenges are open through mid-August. Browse them here.
