Build First

Tenex builds AI systems that drive faster decisions, new opportunities, and measurable impact for our clients.

We hire builders who deliver high-quality outcomes. Impress us with your work and skip straight to Tenex's onsite interviews.

Step 1: Build! Create a functional AI prototype or workflow that demonstrates real transformation potential. We're looking for production-grade thinking that prioritizes end-users and business outcomes.

The Rules: This must be an original, solo project so no repurposed work from hackathons or other companies. You'll need to include a GitHub repo with a clear commit history to prove the work is yours. Use only synthetic, public, or legally permissible data.

Step 2: Record a <10-minute demo video (unlisted YouTube link only so no Loom, Vimeo, etc.). In your video, clearly explain: why you chose this problem, who the users are, the impact and ROI you expect, and key tech choices and trade-offs.

Step 3: Submit by uploading your video link (plus GitHub repo and live/deployed link within the YouTube video description) to the form on this page.

Every submission is reviewed by Tenex engineers and strategists. If your work stands out, you go straight to our onsite interview in NYC.
