The event was a hackathon in SoHo, New York City, where developers gathered to build projects using AssemblyAI's industry-leading Speech AI models. The goal was to create something new, connect with the community, and experience healthy competition. Attendees worked on various projects, including a real estate investment tool, a mental health journaling assistant, and an interactive learning game. The event provided free credits and on-site support, allowing attendees to focus on their creative usage of the products. A few teams were selected as winners for their innovative projects, with one team, Dealty, winning first place for its speech AI tool facilitating real estate investment deals.
