The Challenge

Build something that decides, acts, and escalates

Most AI agents are chatbots with better branding. Build a workflow that decides, acts, and knows when to stop.

Track 01

Sales

Lead to Close Automation

WhatsApp qualification → voice callback → confirmation. Build a workflow that converts interest into booked calls without a human in the loop.

WhatsApp qualification
2
Voice callback trigger
3
Automated confirmation
Track 02

Marketing

Engagement & Re-engagement

Triggered nudges → voice follow-up → funnel capture. Re-activate dormant leads and guide them back into your pipeline automatically.

Track 03

Support

Resolve, Escalate Wisely

Chat resolution → voice escalation with context. Handle the majority of queries autonomously; escalate only what genuinely needs a human.

Mandatory Requirement

Every workflow must use both the Kipps Voice Agent and Chat Agent — via direct API, or through n8n / Zapier. Minimum 3 automated steps. Single-turn bots don't qualify.

Build for India's Multilingual Scale

जय हिन्द — Jai Hind

Build agentic workflows that speak the way India actually speaks — not just English. Most voice and chat AI is English-first. The real opportunity is in vernacular voice and chat automation that addresses millions of users in their primary languages.

Benefits

Why participate

Build on production infra

The same platform handling 50K+ calls and 10K+ WhatsApp conversations daily. Not a sandbox — real infrastructure you can benchmark.

Learn patterns companies deploy

Triggers, decisions, escalation, multi-channel orchestration. The agentic patterns that real businesses are adopting right now.

Portfolio-worthy project

A working workflow you can demo in interviews. Autonomous, multi-channel, production-tested — not a toy chatbot.

Direct line to the founding team

Office hours with Kipps engineers during build week. Ask the people who built the platform what it can actually do.

How to apply

Three steps to get started

  1. 01

    Create your Kipps.AI account

    Sign up at kipps.ai. An active account is mandatory for registration — it lets you explore the Voice and Chat Agent APIs before submission day.

  2. 02

    Fill the registration form

    Submit your problem statement, proposed solution, and how you plan to use Kipps to build it. 20 spots — selections are based on quality of idea and approach.

  3. 03

    Selected developers announced

    On 7 August, 20 developers will be notified. Each receives 1,000 platform credits, access to the Kipps team, and the go-ahead to build.

Rules & Conditions

What you need to know

Open to solo developers only. Teams are not permitted. You must have an active Kipps.AI account at the time of registration. Students, professionals, and independent builders are all welcome.

Every submission must actively use both the Kipps Voice Agent and the Kipps Chat Agent. A workflow that only uses one channel will not qualify, regardless of quality.

You can integrate via direct API, or through no-code tools like n8n or Zapier. Both approaches are fully supported. Mixed integrations (some steps via API, others via n8n) are allowed.

Submit a working demo (live or recorded video walkthrough) plus a repository or detailed write-up by 16 August at 11:59 PM IST. Incomplete submissions will not be judged.

You own your work. Kipps.AI may showcase winning and selected submissions on its channels with attribution. No commercial rights are transferred.

We expect respectful, honest participation. Plagiarism, abuse of platform credits, or violations of Kipps terms of service will result in disqualification.

Submissions are scored on: problem clarity, workflow depth and logic, dual-channel usage, technical feasibility, and escalation design. Judges include members of the Kipps engineering and product teams.

FAQ

Frequently asked

No — and teams are not allowed. This is a solo hackathon. We want to see what one developer can build with the right tools and platform.

That's fine. Kipps provides documentation, and selected developers get direct access to the engineering team during build week. The platform is designed to be approachable.

Not at all. Working professionals, independent builders, and freelancers are welcome. If you build software and want to work with real AI agent infrastructure, this is for you.

Credits cover your API usage during the hackathon — calls, messages, and integrations on the Kipps platform. They're scoped to build week so you can build freely without worrying about cost.

Yes. We explicitly support both approaches. What matters is the workflow logic and that both Voice and Chat agents are used — not how you wire them together.

Limited to 20 developers
