the challenge
Your team will work for 48 hours to build your solution, application, or tool.
During that time, your team will have access to an AWS account, should you choose to use it.
You can use AWS infrastructure to build your solution using a broad set of global cloud-based services. For the scope of this hackathon, we would like to highlight Amazon Bedrock, which provides a single API to access and utilize various high-performing foundation models (FMs) from leading AI companies like AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Mistral AI, Stability AI, and Amazon. Besides that, Amazon Bedrock also provides some key features and capabilities such as Prompt Management, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), Agents, Guardrails, Function calling, model evaluation, and model customization.
To build your end-to-end solution, you can also use other AWS services beyond Generative AI, such as compute, storage, database, etc. The submitted project should be an online, running solution, application, or tool.
There are no rigid categories for this hackathon, as long as the project leverages Generative AI technology and is not just a simple chatbot application.
