AssemblyAI hackathon puts voice agents inside vintage Furby toys at SF Tech Week
AssemblyAI · x · 2026-10-07
AssemblyAI is hosting a 60-person hardware hackathon at SF Tech Week with @iHarnoorSingh: build a voice agent with its Voice Agent API and install it inside a vintage Furby. No hardware experience needed — participants bring a laptop, a USB-C cable, and a coding agent; the event covers wiring hardware into a voice pipeline, real-time speech streaming, and agent personality design, with $100 in credits, food, and a take-home talking toy.
