Hackathons » Voice-Hackathon
It’s time to put your Google home mini devices to good use. Atos Syntel is inviting participants globally to create prototypes, POCs or solutions using the Google voice ecosystem (google home devices, Google assistant and google APIs). Innovate in a fast paced fun atmosphere to develop technical or domain specific solutions leveraging voice commands and Google home devices in order to help businesses and customers redefine their services, processes, operations through improved business interactions.

This is a strictly time-boxed event, usually lasting for 1-3 days during which representatives from various disciplines come together to form diverse, multi-disciplinary teams and collaborate intensively.
