Built With Pave: The Winning Apps of Paveathon 2026
What happens when people with deep business expertise build with AI? Our first-ever Paveathon answered that question.
Teams from different industries brought their own work challenges to the table, from pipeline infrastructure to healthcare credentialing to customer support reporting. With Pave, they turned those challenges into working apps through simple, natural language descriptions.
We're excited to share the three winning teams and the apps they built.
The Winner: RCP Inc. — From Reactive to Proactive, AI-Driven Pipeline Management
App: NEXUS for Pipeline Infrastructure Operations
Built in: 150 minutes | 700 prompts | 11 tables
RCP Inc. earned the grand prize with NEXUS, an application built to help teams manage the complexity of pipeline oil and gas pipeline infrastructure operations.
RCP Inc. earned the grand prize with NEXUS, an application built to give oil and gas pipeline teams one connected view of their assets, maintenance schedules, and risks. It replaces the disconnected systems and reactive maintenance cycles most operations still rely on, so teams can get ahead of problems before they happen.
The Pave-built application brings together information about physical assets, maintenance schedules, risks, and operational events into a single application. It gives operations managers, supply chain coordinators, and field personnel a centralized view of their infrastructure.
Here's what the team said:
"Traditional approaches rely on disconnected spreadsheets, siloed databases, and reactive maintenance cycles. NEXUS consolidates this complexity into one intelligent system that monitors, predicts, and alerts — turning reactive operations into proactive, AI-driven infrastructure management."
The team built NEXUS in 150 minutes, using about 700 prompts and creating 11 connected tables. The app has infrastructure monitoring, AI-powered insights, knowledge graphs, and predictive scenario planning, showing just how sophisticated an application can become through conversation.
Runner-Up: Evergreen Nephrology — Staying 10 Steps Ahead of Compliance Issues
App: Provider Credentialing Application
Built in: 420 minutes | 90 prompts | 13 tables
Evergreen Nephrology earned a runner-up spot with a Provider Credentialing Application built to bring order to a process that's detailed, complex, and high risk.
Provider credential management across multiple healthcare practices means keeping up with licenses, certifications, continuing education, and payer enrollments. Many organizations still spread that work across spreadsheets and paper records, which makes it easy for something important to slip through and create compliance risks. The team built an application in Pave to bring those processes together in one place.
As the team explained:
"Previously managed through spreadsheets and paper files, this process was time-consuming, prone to missed expiration dates, and difficult to coordinate across practices."
Their app tracks every credential and enrollment automatically, with alerts before anything expires. Each user only sees the providers they're responsible for. The team built 13 connected tables, more than 150 fields, and a ZIP code reference table with 42,000 records, all through conversation with Pave.
Runner-Up: ES Solar — Support Dashboards Built in 75 Minutes
App: Technical Support Analytics and Dashboarding
Built in: 75 minutes | 20 prompts | 7 tables
ES Solar earned a runner-up spot with a set of technical support dashboards built to solve a very immediate problem.
Their project began with a simple challenge: a new phone system that wasn't intuitive and couldn't easily provide the customer support insights the team needed. A new employee at the company, working alongside a newly appointed Vice President of Customer Service, used Pave to build the dashboards the VP needed, skipping the spreadsheet stage entirely.
They shared:
"We needed to hit the ground running, and this was a quick way for us to skip the spreadsheet stage of learning the new phone system."
Built in 75 minutes using 20 prompts, the application became both an analytics tool for customer support leaders and a foundation for future development.
What These Projects Have in Common
Three teams. Three completely different industries. Three unique operational challenges, from pipeline risk to healthcare compliance to technical support reporting. But the story underneath is the same: Someone had a real problem, they told Pave AI what they needed to solve, and they walked away with a working app in hours instead of months.
That's exactly what we hoped the Paveathon would prove. Whether you're tracking multiple assets across the globe or just trying to make it through your first week at a new job, Pave is ready to take it on.
Congratulations to our winners! We're excited to see what you build next.
