Bot-a-thon, Build Agents That Actually Build Things
About Event
Bot-a-thon is a high-impact building sprint designed for developers and innovators ready to push the boundaries of automation. Running from May 8th–10th, this event challenges you to move beyond simple chat interfaces and develop the next generation of intelligent agents that actually build, execute and deliver results.
Powered by the vision of transforming ideas into reality, the Bot-a-thon creates a focused environment where teams research, build, and deploy AI agents that redefine what’s possible in the modern tech ecosystem.
