One evening, one working voice agent. Show up with a laptop, leave with something that places real calls.
The room builds for four hours with Guava engineers on hand for office hours. Demos and judging at the end of the night.
$3,000 in cash prizes: $1,500 for first place, $1,000 for second, $500 for third.
Build whatever you want. Judges give extra weight to agents built for regulated industries, the kind a compliance officer would actually approve.
Everything is provided. Accounts, keys, credits. Nothing to bring but a laptop. Free, with food and drinks on us.
For AI engineers, software engineers, and technical founders who would rather ship something than sit through another panel.
Hosted by Guava, the voice platform for regulated industries. goguava.ai
