100 teams spent 90 days running AI-operated companies with real revenue — XPRIZE finals Friday
PeterDiamandis · x · 2026-09-23
Peter Diamandis summed up Build With Gemini XPRIZE: "Most people are still debating whether AI can run a real business. A hundred teams spent 90 days answering it by doing it." The bar wasn't a slick demo but revenue, real users, and AI actually operating the company rather than decorating it. Five finalist teams — none of which existed 90 days ago — pitch Friday to Palmer Luckey, Cathie Wood, Anousheh Ansari, Mark Pincus, and Logan Kilpatrick.
