​MeltingHack, in collaboration with Le Wagon, is excited to present the Turbo Hackathon, where participants will embark on an innovative journey to streamline travel planning using AI Agents. This event will take place on February 9th, providing a unique opportunity to inspire creativity and collaboration among individuals with diverse skill sets. Over the course of just 4 hours, teams will harness the power of generative AI to develop an automated system that can efficiently organize multi-day trips, including tasks like booking tickets and scheduling activities with minimal human intervention.

​The Turbo Hackathon is designed for everyone, regardless of their technical background. Whether you are an experienced engineer or someone who is simply curious about AI, you are encouraged to join us. Our aim is to foster an inclusive environment where participants can learn and grow while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in travel innovation. We look forward to seeing the exciting and unexpected solutions that emerge from this fast-paced event!

​1. Hackathon Overview

• ​Purpose:

  • ​4 hours is half of a typical workday. It is small but enough to achieve something tangible. We believe meaningful connections and a spark of a new great idea can be created within 4 hours.
