TechTO Fast and Frugal Hackathon
Eat. Code. Ship. Win 💲.
We’re back with another 12-hour build day on October 17, designed for builders, dreamers, and doers.
We provide the food, the mentors, and the prize pool.
The Mission: Build an AI Agent that finds and books the best deal at a hotel in City X. Every agent runs the same task at the same time. The fastest and cheapest booking wins.
Rules: no ready-made agents, no browser automation tools; agents must make a phone call and receive a receipt at a provided email address. Bring your friends, public models and APIs.
🤝 Work alongside 100+ ambitious coders, developers, and designers. You might just meet your next coding buddy.
🏆 Compete for cash prizes and cloud credits.
No team? We got you! We kick off the morning with a team-matching session to pair you with fellow builders.
Complimentary coffee, lunch, dinner (pizza), and drinks are included with your ticket.
