The inaugural ElevenLabs Worldwide Hackathon, held in collaboration with partners such as a16z, PostHog, and Vercel, brought together hundreds of developers to create over 300 AI agents across six in-person locations and a virtual event on Discord. The event featured intense competition, with judges from ElevenLabs, Vercel, and a16z evaluating innovative projects. The global top prize was awarded to the project "GibberLink," which gained widespread attention for its viral demo involving AI agents on a phone call switching to a superior audio signal. Other notable projects included "Hugo Tour Guide," an AI travel companion, and "Pep," a physical therapy agent. The hackathon also featured additional prizes from partners like fal.ai and PostHog, with projects focusing on diverse applications such as travel, physical therapy, game development, and more. The hackathon emphasized collaboration and innovation, and organizers are seeking feedback to improve future events.
