Hackathon: Humanizing The Prototype

Registration
Welcome! To join the event, please register below.
About Event

Seats are limited. Register and complete the screening form to hold your spot. We use your answers to build balanced teams.


Build a real-time AI video agent in a single day. Tavus lets you create agents that see, hear, and respond in real time. Paired with Lovable's rapid UI generation, your team ships a fully functional human-agent interface before the session ends.

No engineering background required. Tavus offers white-labeled APIs and a low-code environment anyone can use. Bring a concept. Leave with a working prototype.

⚡ What you'll actually do

  • Open with welcome remarks, a Tavus product intro, and a live hands-on API demo.

  • Build your own interactive AI agent in a focused sprint. Start from your own concept or use a Jumpstart Idea below.

  • Demo your work in a rapid-fire Show & Tell and compete for the winner's prize.

✨ What you get

  • Free Tavus API credits for all builders.

  • Free Lovable credits and a live published URL for your completed project.

  • A chance to win the team prize.

  • Lunch included.

  • On-call experts to unblock you during the build sprint.

🎒 What to bring

  • Charged laptop

  • Headphones


Agenda

  • 10:30 to 11:00 AM: Arrival + Team Forming. Grab refreshments, meet fellow builders, and form squads of 3-5.

  • 11:00 to 11:30 AM: The Spark. Welcome from ProductTank SF, Tavus platform intro, and a live API demo.

  • 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM: The Build. Start building interactive agents with Tavus and Lovable. Agents must respond in real time, not loop one-way.

  • 12:30 to 1:00 PM: Fuel Up. Provided lunch.

  • 1:00 to 3:45 PM: The Build Continues. Push to a working prototype.

  • 3:45 to 4:30 PM: Show and Tell + Prizes. 2-minute demos of your browser-based prototypes, wrap-up, and winner announcement.


Jumpstart Ideas

Need a concept? Use these as starting points:

The Retail Concierge (Shopping Assistant): Post-purchase shipping is inflexible. Build a video avatar on the order confirmation page that lets customers reroute shipments, pause delivery, or choose pickup points, while Lovable renders the live UI.

The Talent Concierge (Onboarding Guide): New hires drown in PDF links. Build a personalized HR avatar that walks employees through benefit elections and hardware setup, explaining the "why" while the Lovable interface captures the data.

The Virtual PM (Status Responder): Status reports go one way. Build a Virtual PM avatar that fields questions about project artifacts. Users ask "Why is the API delayed?" and get a context-aware answer from repository data.
