How’s your AWS AI Agent Global Hackathon project coming along?

Hi there, 

Whether or not you have started building your AWS AI Agent Global Hackathon project, the Devpost’s Discord Community is the perfect place to connect with other developers! Not only can you bounce ideas off each other and ask other developers for technical help, but you can also use it to ask the AWS and Devpost teams questions and eventually show off your project when it’s finished!

Teaming up

Looking for a team to work with on your project? Post in the Discord channel! You can also use the challenge Participants Tab to search for other developers looking to team up, check out their skills and message them to see if they want to collaborate.

Visit the Participants tab to see other participants of the competition on Devpost. Indicate at the top of the page that you are looking for teammates, then use the filters to search for a potential teammate. Once found, you can send them a message through Devpost. See this article for details. Need tips for working with a team? See this article on Teamwork tips for online competitions. Once you have a team, hit Start Project and see the Manage Team section to invite your teammates to your project.
