Uplift AI X Replit - Voice AI hackathon
Build a Voice-First AI Product for Pakistan
Build a usable voice-first AI application. No coding experience required—just bring your creativity.
This is not a conference or a pitch competition. You are here to build something people can actually use -- using no-code tools like Replit.
Developers, designers, students, creators, founders, product thinkers, and domain experts are all welcome.
Hosted by Leading AI Companies

Build Voice Apps or Voice Agents
You can build anything you imagine during the hackathon, provided it utilizes Replit and Uplift AI. Here are a few themes to spark your creativity:
🎙️ AI Voice Apps: Build products that solve real-world daily problems. Think voice receptionists, interactive WhatsApp bots, conversational tutors, automated customer-support agents, or accessibility tools for local communities.
📺 AI Media: Create tools for content creation, localization, and media reach. Think automated newsrooms, instant video dubbing, localized cartoon channels, or AI-driven audio content creation.
🎮 Creative AI: Build entirely new voice experiences. Think interactive story narrators for children, text-adventure games with characters who speak fluent Urdu, or voice-controlled digital art.
What Makes a Winning Project?
We are not looking for the most complicated product. We are looking for products that are focused, useful, and thoughtfully built.
A small, bulletproof product that works flawlessly beats an ambitious, unfinished project every time.
Your submission should:
Solve a clear, well-defined problem.
Serve a specific, real-world user.
Utilize voice as a core part of the user experience.
Reflect how people in Pakistan actually communicate and behave.
Produce a useful, repeatable result.
Work reliably during a live, on-stage demonstration.
