Conversational AI Hackathon 2026

About

We all know the pain of early voice AI: awkward pauses, hallucinations, and zero memory. We are past that. Voice models are now cheap and fast to the point where they are no longer the bottleneck, retrieval is. Now with Moss, the infrastructure for real-time semantic search has fully matured. Agents can finally hold a fluid conversation, instantly look up complex facts, and act on them without breaking a sweat. The knowledge base is open. The latency is gone.
