AI is moving beyond text.
The next generation of products will reason across images, video, audio, voice, documents, & real-world data-not just prompts & responses. This hackathon is about building for that future.
Join us at AWS Builder Loft on October 23 for a one-day Multi-Modal Hackathon, bringing together builders, researchers, founders, & investors to ship products that combine multiple forms of intelligence into something people can actually use.
This is a build-first event. Come with an idea, find a teammate, & leave with a working demo.
