**[0:00:00]** Merry Christmas for a while now I've been teasing that I have a special gift just for you and now today is the day and I am bursting with excitement because this is not just an ordinary gift my platform automator is hosting a hackathon competition with $5,000 in cash prizes you heard that

**[0:00:19]** right $5,000 and all you have to do to participate is build an AI agent for the automator live agent studio so go ahead and register with the link in the description and the PIN comment this is simply my way to get the community involved with the live agent studio in a

**[0:00:35]** super super exciting way so take it as a challenge to prove that you have what it takes to build an incredible AI agent that solves a real world problem win some money and get your AI Mastery showcase to the world and we are definitely in the wild west when it

**[0:00:50]** comes to AI agents anything is possible and we are just scratching the surface right now so it is certainly possible for you as a part of this competition to build the absolute best of the best for AI and it is my goal to make this the most straightforward and fun competition

**[0:01:05]** that you have ever been a part of so right now I'll share sponsors what prizes look like a timeline and dive into the meat of what it looks like to build an AI agent for the live agent Studio which by the way if you haven't seen my video published last week on the

**[0:01:21]** studio definitely watch it after this the live agent studio is an incredible community-driven platform hence this competition that I just launched in pre-release and it's filled with a bunch of cuttingedge agents that you can try yourself and they're all open source so you can download them and learn how to

**[0:01:37]** implement them for yourself and your business so first of all the criteria is super simple all you have to do is build an AI Agent following the developer guide which you're looking at right now and I'll have links in the description of the video as well I'll also be

**[0:01:51]** putting out a ton of resources during the registration period like this in-depth guide that you're looking at right here and I even have templates created already to make it really easy for you to get started building an AI agent with all of the supported platforms basically you can build any AI

**[0:02:07]** agent within a Docker container any python agent or anything built with NN flow wise or voice flow voice flow you say well I teased in my last video that I'm doing something cool with them and that is that they are sponsoring this hackathon voice flow is an incredible

**[0:02:23]** no/ flow code AI agent development platform that I've been working on creating a direct integration for within the live agent Studio Studio $11,000 of their sponsorship which is a part of the prize pool is going towards the best and second best agents built specifically with voice flow and when you register

**[0:02:40]** for the hackathon sometime before the competition starts you'll get a special link that'll give you free tokens for voice flow and an extended trial on their platform super cool stuff I just love voice flow and I'm looking forward to this collab for the hackathon also I'm working with a couple of other

**[0:02:56]** platforms behind the scenes for more Partnerships that I'll announce throughout the registration period so stay tuned for that also I'm pretty sure one of the other platforms is already pretty obvious to you given I already mentioned them in this video I'm wearing this shirt I've got this super nice hat

**[0:03:12]** right here and I've even got this really awesome mug I know that this is super super cheesy but you know you just got to have fun while you're changing the world with AI so I thought it'd be cool to show off some of the swag that they sent me recently shout out to the N team

**[0:03:25]** you guys are incredible and one of my favorite platforms all right now we get to the fun part cuz we're going to do a breakdown of the prizes for the hackathon this page right here is live on the live agent Studio along with all the other Pages for the hackathon and so

**[0:03:40]** with that let's get right into it so if you build the best AI agent for the entire hackathon you get $1,500 plus a special badge on the live agent studio and I will personally showcase your agent to everybody in the live stream that I'm doing when I announce the winners super super excited

**[0:04:00]** then second place is going to get $1,000 and another special badge on the studio third place will also get a special badge and then $500 and then all runner-ups will each get $150 so if you get fourth through 10th place for overall agents and then for the best

**[0:04:17]** voice flow agent $700 and then for the second best voice flow agent $300 and the important caveat here is that you will get the highest award that you win so if you build the best agent overall and the best voice flow agent you'll get the first place prize and then the

**[0:04:35]** second best voice FL agent would get the best voiceflow agent Awards I hope that makes sense you're not going to get cheated out of any awards you will get the highest one that you earn now let's talk timeline and honestly it's even more important than the prizes to be on

**[0:04:48]** the same page with this so registration opens up now and it goes for 2 weeks until January 88th and people can still register for the competition after this date but this is when the competition officially starts and it goes for 2 weeks until January 22nd then at that

**[0:05:05]** point submissions will close and me and the automator team will be given a few days to do the initial round of judging the agents we'll pick the top agents probably around the top 25% just so there aren't way too many agents for you to try out to put on the live agent

**[0:05:20]** studio for the community to vote on so you get to be a part of picking the winners for this competition super super exciting and then the community voting will go from January 26th until February 1st where I will be having a live stream where I will announce all the winners in

**[0:05:37]** real time February 1st at 9:00 central time so don't miss that for the initial round of judging we have a few set criteria first of all we've got Innovation how novel is the idea then we've got functionality how well the agent actually works usability the ease of use and implementation and then we've

**[0:05:56]** got impact does it actually solve a real world problem and and then last but not least presentation how well you present your agent through extensive documentation and even a video if you want I cannot wait to see what you come up with and what kind of agent you build
