We are proud to share that the Askly team received the Scotiabank Special Recognition Award at the OTLF AI Innovation Competition Finals.
The team did not stop at slides, mockups, or a concept on paper. They took the idea into action — designed the product, built the application, launched it online, and brought it to real users. That execution made Askly stand out.
Judges from Scotiabank, angel investors, and academia were impressed by the team’s ability to move from idea to product launch and real user adoption.
Askly demonstrated:
✅ A working AI learning platform
✅ Real users actively using the product
✅ Actual marketing and user engagement data
✅ A clear business model and market direction
✅ Continuous product improvement based on feedback
The project also attracted interest from an angel investor, who expressed interest in learning more and supporting the team’s future growth.
At Python With AI (PwAI), we believe students should learn by building. Askly is a strong example of what happens when students combine AI, business thinking, teamwork, and real-world execution.
Congratulations to the Askly team! 🚀
