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

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
