TechTO Hackathon

Get ready for a 12-hour Hackathon from 9AM to 9PM designed for builders, dreamers, and doers! This year’s theme: The Rise of Personal Assistants: AI to Organize Your Life. For decades, software has made people do the work. Open the app. Learn the workflow. Manage the tools. Now AI is starting to flip that model. A new generation of personal assistants can understand context, manage tasks, and help people handle everyday life - from calendar chaos and life admin to groceries, travel planning, and family logistics. At this hackathon, we want to see what builders create when AI can do more than answer prompts. We want products that help people actually get through the day. Join us during Toronto Tech Week on Sunday, May 24 and spend 12 hours building alongside founders, operators, developers, and designers exploring one big question: What becomes possible when AI helps organize your life? Come solo or bring a team. You’ll get time to build, support from mentors, and the chance to demo your idea and win prizes from TechTO and our sponsors. This is not just about writing code. It’s about building something people would actually use every day.
