Bot to Agent: MLH Hack Day The Challenge

The era of the "simple chatbot" is over. We are entering the age of Autonomous Agents—AI that doesn't just talk, but acts.

Bot to Agent is an intensive, 8-hour technical sprint hosted at IEM Kolkata. Your mission? Take the raw power of the Google Gemini API and build an intelligent agent capable of reasoning, tool-use, and execution. Whether it’s an agent that manages festival logistics , automates research, or controls IoT devices, we want to see autonomy in action.

What Makes This Special?

  • The Solo Sprint: This is a 100% solo-hacker challenge. No teams to hide behind—just you, your code, and the Gemini API. Prove your mettle as a top-tier AI developer.

  • Exclusive Google Access: Every participant gets access to the latest Gemini models and specialized Google AI Pro postcards with unique perks.

  • The "Agentic" Focus: We aren't just building wrappers. We are focusing on logic, memory, and tool-integration using Miro for architecture and Gemini for brains.

  • Elite Swag: As an official MLH event, we have a massive stash of limited-edition stickers, and Premium Google Swag Kits for the most innovative agents.
