How could that win? Others are saying slides were presented. Demoing a SaaS chat bot is nothing!

I can tell you this exact thing happened at my company's hackathon and it finished pretty close to a win.
It was the Alexa prompt driven chatbot. Not a single line of code was written.

Hackathons are not about tech, they are about business value now. They are a chance for individual contributors or low level managers to present business ideas to their bosses. Bosses don’t really care about tech.
