About the challenge CALL-E is a developer-first platform for building AI agents that make real phone calls and get real-world tasks done. Instead of stopping at text, your agents can plan a call, dial out, hold a natural conversation, adapt in real time, and return structured results you can act on — all through CALL-E s SDK, API, and MCP. In other words: your agents can finally pick up the phone (and actually get something done while they re on the line). ☎️ In CALL-E: Your Code Is Calling , nbsp;you ll put that to work. Build and deploy a functional application that uses CALL-E to solve a real business or project problem — customer outreach, appointment scheduling, lead qualification, service coordination, workflow automation, or something no one s tried yet. Whether you re an AI engineer, agent builder, or technical founder, this is your chance to push a brand-new platform in directions its makers haven t imagined, share feedback that shapes the roadmap, and compete for a share of $

Every day, people lose hours to small, repetitive tasks like paying bills, scheduling meetings, or filling out the same paperwork again. On their own they re minor, but together they drain real time and attention. AWS wants to help you change that! nbsp; Build an AI agent with the Strands Agents SDK that handles routine and repetitive tasks in the background. Instead of another app people open and manage, the agent runs autonomously and only surfaces when there s a real decision to make. This theme is open to any part of life, from home and work to health, money, errands, and family. Whatever you want to solve, there s a track for it. Six weeks. One build. We re looking forward to seeing what you create. Why Join? 🏆 Compete for $40,000 in cash prizes across three tracks nbsp; 🌐 Build with Strands Agents SDK, open source, production ready, built and trusted by teams at AWS 🛠️ Solve real problems people actually deal with, from daily chores to professional workloads to community logis

About the challenge The world doesn t need another AI demo. Every day, thousands of AI projects are launched. Most never move beyond a prototype, a landing page, or a collection of prompts. What the world truly needs are AI products that solve real problems, save time, create value, and earn a place in people s daily lives. AI Builders Hackathon is designed for builders who want to go beyond experimentation and create software that matters. Over the course of the challenge, participants will design, build, and launch AI-powered applications, agents, workflows, and platforms that address real-world needs. Whether you re creating a productivity tool, developer platform, research assistant, business automation system, education solution, healthcare application, or an entirely new category of software, the focus remains the same: build something useful. We are not looking for pitch decks, concept videos, or AI wrappers with minimal differentiation. We are looking for products that demonstr

About the challenge Welcome to the Multimodal AI Hackathon 2026, organized by KamandPrompt, the Programming Club of IIT Mandi, Augli.ai, PurpleRain Tech, and LDV Labs. This nationwide hackathon invites students to work at the intersection of Generative AI, Agentic AI, and real-world problem-solving, applying these emerging technologies to domains where they can create genuine impact. Multimodal AI systems, ones that can reason across text, images, data, and more, are increasingly capable of tackling problems that were previously out of reach for automated systems. Yet in fields like Space research, BioTech, and Education, this potential remains largely untapped. Building solutions in these domains requires not just technical skill but a genuine understanding of the problems being solved, which is exactly the gap this hackathon is designed to close. This hackathon offers participants the opportunity to design and build solutions that could meaningfully improve how problems are approache

Build With AI: Basics Build a working first draft of an app in an afternoon using AI best practices, with a set of reusable skills in your coding agent. Learn with a live build session, office hours, community, and a $2,500 prize pool, while creating something useful to your work or your life. About the challenge Devpost has launched a new kind of hackathon: shorter, built around learning, and open to join every month. Have you ever asked an AI to help you code something, only to watch it repeat a mistake you already fixed, forget a decision you made ten prompts ago, or hand back code that works but you can t explain? It happens to almost everyone who starts building with AI. Nobody showed you the basics. This hackathon does. You ll build a proof of concept: a small app that runs and does one thing end to end. To get there, you ll install the Devpost Learn Skill Pack , step-by-step guides that live inside your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any agent that supports skills)

Calling all AWS Partners! We are inviting you to build the next wave of conversational solutions on AWS Communication Developer Services (CDS)! AWS CDS enables AWS Partners to help customers engage users at a global scale through AWS End User Messaging (EUM) which includes Rich Communication Services (RCS), Short Message Services (SMS), and WhatsApp. It also includes Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). AWS CDS is the infrastructure that powers messaging across Amazon.com , Amazon Cognito, SNS, and Amazon Connect. AWS CDS is often used for one-time passwords (OTP), notifications, and rules-based chatbots that follow rigid scripts. We challenge you to think beyond this. The future of customer engagement is conversational: reaching customers in the channel (i.e. email vs. RCS vs. WhatsApp) they prefer, picking up right where the last conversation left off, and using two-way communication so customers tell you directly what they want and share signals that improve your products and services

About the challenge Agents are getting smarter, but they re culturally blind. They can reason, plan, and execute — but ask them what to recommend, what to build, or what people actually want, and they re guessing. This hackathon is about fixing that. Build an agentic tool, an agent-powered app, or wire Qloo into an agent that already exists. Use our API and taste graph — 250M+ entities across music, film, dining, fashion, and more — to give your agent something most never get: real cultural grounding. We re not looking for demos of what LLMs can already do. We re looking for the thing that only works because it knows what people love. Show us the use case where cultural intelligence is the difference between technically functional and actually good. Build it, ship it, blow our minds.
