Come up with a product idea for Tabby. Something new, or a change to what we already ship. Then show it however you like.
Two rounds. The first is read blind, the second is live.
Come up with a product idea for Tabby. Something new, or a change to what we already ship. Then show it however you like.
A panel from across product, design and information security reads every entry, with your name hidden while they score. The strongest go through to the final.
You present your work live and answer the panel's questions. There is no separate interview after it.
Any one of these is enough on its own. No required format, no length limit. Whatever you pick, it has to answer what is wrong today, what you would change, and who it helps. Everything reaches us as links, and every link has to open for anyone holding it.
A page explaining the idea and who it is for.
Figma, screens, or a clickable prototype. Our design system is public at brand.tabby.ai.
Working code, a repository, or a short screen recording.
None of these is a brief. They are here to show the size of thing we mean, and the moment where noticing turns into an idea. Yours will be about something else entirely, and that is the point.
A trip gets paid for by whoever is holding the card. Everyone means to settle up. Weeks later somebody is still chasing the money. Someone stopped at that and asked what would have to change.
The app is very good at the last two minutes of buying a car, and has nothing to say about the eight months of getting ready to buy one. Someone noticed the gap and started there.
Someone timed how long they had the app open. Ninety seconds. Everything else about the purchase, deciding, comparing, waiting and returning, happened somewhere else.
None of this is required and we do not check for it. It is what the entries that go furthest usually have behind them.
You do not need a research team. Five conversations with people who actually use the app beat a survey you wrote to agree with you.
You do not have our numbers. Count what you can reach: taps to finish a task, reviews saying the same thing, people you know who have hit the problem.
Someone at Tabby has probably thought of it. Guessing at what stopped them, and being wrong, reads better than never having asked the question.
Unfinished work is fine. We are looking at how you got to the idea, not how finished it looks, so send what you have.
First, second, third and fourth place each get a six-month paid internship at Tabby at SAR 3,000 a month, full-time, subject to signing a separate contract and meeting the required eligibility checks.
Entries are closed. The panel is reading, and the final is on 27 October.
Entries opened on 16 September.
Entries closed on 30 September. Nothing more can be sent.
Shortlisted entrants present live to the panel, 13:00 to 17:00 Riyadh time. That session replaces the interview.
Entries are closed. The panel is reading every entry that arrived, and everyone who entered hears from us either way.
A panel from product, design and information security reads every entry that arrived by 30 September.
Questions come in through the form and we answer every one personally by email. The ones that come up often are added to the FAQ on this page.
The top ten go through to the final on 27 October. Everyone else gets written feedback on their entry.
Entry is free and there is nothing to buy.
Citizens and residents alike. You enter as an individual, there are no team entries.
Write in whichever you prefer. Both are judged the same way and no translation is needed.
Each is read on its own, and one person can win only once. Current Tabby employees and contractors, their immediate families and anyone who left Tabby in the last twelve months cannot enter.
The ones we get asked most. If yours is not here, send it and we answer personally.
Anyone living in Saudi Arabia who is 18 or over, citizens and residents alike. You enter as an individual, there are no team entries. Current Tabby employees and contractors, their immediate families and anyone who left Tabby in the last twelve months cannot enter. Contractors means people doing work for Tabby. Being a Tabby merchant, or simply using the app, does not stop you entering.
A product idea for Tabby, either something new or a change to what we already ship. Send it however you like: a written page, a Figma file, a clickable prototype, working code, or a short video. One of these is enough and there is no required format or length limit. Our design system is public at brand.tabby.ai. Everything reaches us as links, and every link has to open for anyone holding it.
No. Rough drafts are fine and work in progress counts. There is no required format either, so a clear written page is a complete entry if it carries the idea.
Up to three per person, and each one is read on its own.
Arabic or English, whichever you think in. Both are judged the same way and no translation is needed. The internship itself runs in English. That has no bearing on how your entry is judged.
The panel reads every entry. The top ten go through to the final on 27 October. Everyone else gets written feedback on their entry.
Your name is hidden while the panel reads and scores. The panel is internal to Tabby and mixes product, design and information security. Shortlisted entrants present live at the final on 27 October, 13:00 to 17:00 Riyadh time, and that session replaces the interview. The final runs online, on Zoom or Google Meet. It has an audience, and taking part in that round means presenting in front of one. Naming you publicly as a winner needs your separate consent, and refusing it does not disqualify you.
What you send by 30 September is what the panel judges. If it reaches the final you can refine it and present the improved version, as long as it stays the same idea.
Four places. First, second, third and fourth each get a six-month paid internship at Tabby at SAR 3,000 a month, full-time, subject to signing a separate contract and meeting the required eligibility checks.
Either in Riyadh in person, or remotely from another region. The arrangement is agreed with your manager, and many of our interns study alongside it.
It is a product management and design internship. There is no choice of another department. Inside product there are many directions, and the winner goes to the one closest to their idea.
No. The internship and the award come from Tabby directly and the paperwork is ours. It is not registered under HRDF, and it does not count against the Tamheer opportunities available to you. A Tamheer placement you have already done does not affect you here.
You do. You keep ownership of your entry, including any code or design files. By entering you grant Tabby a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to review, reproduce and use your entry internally in order to run and judge the challenge. You confirm your entry is your own original work, and Tabby will not be held liable for any intellectual property claims arising due to the participant's infringement. If we later want broader rights, that is a separate written agreement and it is not a condition of entering.
Yes. Send it through the question form and we answer every one personally by email. Anything asked more than once ends up on this page.
