About this hackathon
🛑 AI is moving beyond text.
The next generation of products will reason across images, video, audio, voice, documents, and real-world data—not just prompts and 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, and 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, and leave with a working demo.
