Summary

The Devpost Hackathon was launched by Symbl.ai in February 2021, attracting over 200 participants who competed to win up to $10,100 in prizes. The focus of the hackathon was on building or extending applications with Symbl.ai's APIs to extract insights from voice and video inputs. A diverse range of AI-powered use-cases were showcased, including conversational intelligence, conversation platform analytics, Automated Speech Recognition, and more. Three impressive submissions stood out, winning first place with an e-learning enablement app that leveraged Symbl.ai's APIs for topic extraction and sentiment analysis, second place with a call center satisfaction app that utilized real-time transcription and analytics, and third place with a virtual assistant app that automatically took notes from lectures and videos. The hackathon saw a wide array of innovative solutions, and the team at Symbl.ai is grateful to all participants, with some submissions still available for viewing on their Devpost Hackathon Project Gallery page.
