Build, Listen, Deploy: Voice AI Agents Hackathon | Agora x Scaledown AI
Voice AI is finally moving from demos to production.
Advances in foundation models have made conversational intelligence remarkably capable, but building great voice experiences still requires more than just plugging in an LLM. Real-world Voice AI agents depend on ultra-low-latency infrastructure, reliable real-time communication, contextual small language models (SLMs), and orchestration systems that can respond naturally, remember context, and take action.
Join builders, developers, founders, AI engineers, and product innovators for a two-day hackathon focused on creating the next generation of Voice AI applications.
