AI Agents: Inter-continental Hackathon w/ August AI | BLR Chapter
✨ AI agents are the future of AI! 🚀
We're at the forefront of a new era in automation - making complex tasks easier & more efficient. The push for more advanced & intelligent agents is being fueled by innovations in open-source technology.
🤯 In recent months, we've seen advancements like:
- LangGraph from the LangChain team & the new LlamaIndex workflow
- Open-source foundational models in 10 Indian languages by Sarvam AI
- ChatGPT 4o's advancement giving users the ability to directly interact with AI agents using voice, to hold human-like conversations
🗓️ We're challenging builders across continents to join us on 7th-8th Sept '24 to dive deep into the latest advancements, collaborate with folks & build the future of AI agents.
***
☠️ Rules 🚨:
- Builders/startups with existing projects/products are welcome to join!
- Builders/startups with existing projects/products will be judged based solely on the progress made during the event, not on the entire product.
- All new projects built at August AI Villa must be open-source. Existing projects/products are exempt.
- 👉 Seating & facilities for an over-night stay will be prioritised for folks based on registration order, specifically for hackathon participants who will be coding. While we warmly welcome external guests, please note that seating & stay preference will be given to those actively participating in the hackathon 👈

✨ Vibe check ✨:
We're aiming for a different kind of hackathon vibe - it's not really about flashy pitches or chasing the next big "business" idea.
Instead, we want you to focus on building something cool & having fun while doing it.
While the prizes are certainly rewarding, what’s truly valuable is the joy & thrill of breaking things & building something creative from the ground up. It's all about the creative process, not the competition.
Judging, structure, and any prizes will reflect this laid-back, innovative spirit. Let's keep it real & just vibe! 🤙
