My Agent Has A Phone Hackathon - Tel Aviv
AI agents used to be trapped in a chat box. That era is over. Join us at the Dial office for an invite-only 12-hours hackathon. The premise is simple: give your AI Agent a phone number, and unlock everything a phone number can do - voice, SMS, WhatsApp, and more.
Capacity is limited.
Enrollments is on a first comes first served basis - expect an answer within 24 hours.
Please subscribe to the Dial Events Calendar on Luma to stay updated on future hackathons we host (London, New York, San Francisco), and visit https://getdial.ai to get your AI Agent a phone number.

Building Tracks
Inbound Agents: Voice and SMS agents that pick up the phone - reception, support, triage, qualification etc. Replace the “press 1 for sales” era.
Outbound Agents: Agents that make the call - sales outreach, follow-ups, surveys, appointment reminders, collection. Volume, reliability and conversion.
Vertical Agents: Phone agents built for specific industries - healthcare, real estate, hospitality, logistics, legal, finance services etc. Deep over broad.
Tools & Infra for Phone Agents: The picks and shovels - telephony orchestration, evals, observability, voice quality, latency tooling, fraud detection, anything that makes other people’s phone agent better.
Wildcard: Anything that uses a phone number in a way we didn’t see coming. Agent to agent calls, prank lines, accessibility plays, group calls, voice first consumer apps. Surprise us.
Judges
Amit Shechter - Fusion VC - Israel's pre-seed leading platform, where I focus on investing in strong first-timer founders who operate in overlooked industries. We invest $150,000 in 15-20 Israeli companies a year, contributing to a portfolio that spans over 140 startups in Israel that raised more than $650M and boasts a cumulative valuation of more than $3 billion.
Who Should Apply
Built something real? An agent, a tool, an infra layer - anything that's left your laptop and met the internet. If you can point to it (production, side project, or repo), you belong here.
Why Apply
Built for Tel Aviv builders. The ones who'd rather ship than pitch, who've seen enough sandbox demos to last a lifetime, and who want to walk out of June 11 with something a human could pay for the next morning. No prior idea required - just come ready to build.
What to Expect
Doors open at 6PM on Thursday, drinks, food and mingling will take place on the rooftop - kickoff talk begins at 8PM.
The building blitz will begin straight after, throughout the entire night - fueled by a ridiculous amount of energy drinks, top notch coffee, iced margaritas and food - lots of food. The office is not equipped with sleeping pods, but there are sofas and plenty of floor space.
Winners will be announced at 9AM, Friday.
