🌊 touch ./SAND — The Voice Agent Hackathon
Openbase is bringing voice-first building to Venice Beach for LA Tech Week.
What if you could step away from your desk and still direct an entire team of AI agents from your phone?
Spend the day building tech with voice-controlled agent teams. We’ll use Openbase, the voice-first mobile interface for managing teams of AI agents, alongside technologies including LiveKit, Cartesia, AssemblyAI, Claude Code, and Codex.
This is a collaborative, outdoor build sprint with real demos at the end. Come with an idea, join a team when you arrive, or simply bring your curiosity.
What might you build? - A voice-controlled software-engineering team - An agent command center for founders - Hands-free research and knowledge workflows - Voice-driven sales or customer operations - Mobile tools for directing agents away from your desk - Something we haven’t imagined yet
Who should join? Developers, designers, technical founders, AI researchers, and creative builders interested in voice interfaces and agentic computing.
Non-coders are welcome, particularly product thinkers and designers prepared to contribute to a collaborative team.
WHAT TO BRING: - Phone - Headphones or AirPods - Sunscreen and an evening layer - Water - Something you’d like a team of agents to accomplish
LOCATION/PARKING: We'll meet indoors and get oriented/set up in a conference room (check Partiful location). Building entrance details will be sent out by blast tomorrow. We'll then walk 0.7 miles to the beach and finish the hackathon there.
There is no on-site parking available, so please budget extra time for street parking nearby.
