Hackathon | RAG: Building LLM-powered Apps with Your Own Data

*** This is a free GLOBAL ONLINE event - Worldwide Participation Encouraged *** Please share with your networks!

We are hosting a FREE week-long Hackathon for Developers who want to go deep and fast into learning how to develop text-based GenAI LLM applications that focus on Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

Hosted by Head of DevRel Ofer Mendelevitch and enticed by cash prizes, teams are tasked with building an LLM-powered application using the Vectara platform and addressing one of the following Challenges.

CHALLENGES

Choose one of the following use case categories and build an RAG-based application:

• Customer Support: Create a GenAI solution to enhance customer support interactions. For example a customer-support chatbot to answer customer questions.
• Legal: Develop an application for the legal industry, such as legal document question-answering or research assistance.
• Financial Services: Build a GenAI tool for analysis of financial documents, trading, or customer engagement.
• Healthcare: Create a healthcare application, such as medical record summarization or patient communication.

PRIZES:

• Best Overall App: $1,500 cash
• Best App in each of the challenge categories: $500 cash

Each winner will also receive $1,500 in Vectara credits to further support their GenAI development journey. Signup for Vectara is free and most projects will fall completely within the free Growth plan. See the "Judging Criteria" tab on the LabLab.ai registration page linked below.

Additional talks are planned from industry experts at brands you know throughout the event to enrich your knowledge in LLMs, frameworks (e.g. LlamaIndex), avoiding hallucinations, and open-source stack tools. Speakers TBD.
