This will be your chance to build on top of the Poe platform and earn from a prize pool of $10k. You'll be able to talk to other participants and get support from the Poe team. ### Schedule * 10/7, 10AM PDT: Hackathon kick-off livestream * 10/7, 10:30AM PDT: Hackathon begins * 10/8, 10AM PDT: Submission deadline * 10/9, 5PM PDT: Winners are announced ### How to join the kickoff stream? **When**: Oct 7, 2023 10:00 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada)\ **Topic**: Poe Hackathon #1 **Web**: Please click the link below to join the webinar:\ \ Passcode: 586923 **Mobile**: Find and call the phone number for your location in the registry at: \ Webinar ID: 966 8518 6711\ Passcode: 586923 ### What are the prizes? * Top place: $5k * Second place: $2k * Third place: $1k * Fourth place: $1k * Fifth place: $1k ### What are the criteria for submissions? * Only Poe [server bots](https://developer.poe.com/#ways-to-create-a-bot-on-poe) are eligible for submission * When evaluating winners, we will be looking for bots that utilize the Poe platform and chat UI to uniquely address a need that isn't addressed as well (or at all) by existing alternatives * For example, a chat bot that simply helps you look up flight information does not meet our criteria because it addresses a need that can better be addressed by doing to Expedia's website. However, a bot that allows you to do unique things with the flight information that are only doable on a chat interface will qualify. * Multiple submissions per participant are allowed but a participant can only win one prize. ### How do I participate? The hackathon will be conducted remotely. The details about the submission process are being finalized and will be communicated on our Discord.

Yes, by participating in the Hackathon, you agree to the [Poe Hackathon Rules](/hackathon/poe-hackathon-1-10-7-rules.md), the [Poe Terms of Service](https://poe.com/tos) and [Privacy Policy](https://poe.com/privacy). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
