"Every AI model API is stateless by default. That means your app forgets everything the second a session ends. State management should be the first step of any AI build, regardless of what LLM you are using, and Backboard gives you that for free. But Backboard is not just state management. It is a single, unified API built on the world's #1 AI memory that gives you everything you need in one place: long-term memory, RAG, embeddings, tool calls, model routing across 17,000+ LLMs, and persistent context that stays alive across every page refresh, session, and user. No stitching together five different services. One API. One integration. Built on the best memory in AI.\n\nHere's just a small list of things Backboard can make possible for your AI app!\n\n• AI-powered Travel Guide: Remembers allergies and preferences from past trips.\n• Personalized Fitness Coach: Adjusts workouts based on progress and injury history.\n• Smart Home Controller: Learns routines over time to anticipate lighting and climate preferences!\n\nUse Backboard to build a seamless, persistent user experience without the usual infrastructure headache! Each winning team member will receive a Tiles Essentials Pack because, just like AI, we all need an occasional reminder of where things are!\n\nJudged by MLH.",
