Welcome to the AI Video Hackathon, where the future of AI-driven media begins.
Kicking off on September 23rd, this four-week event will bring together top developers and AI enthusiasts around Livepeer’s cutting-edge protocol to build the best new generative media applications.
Empower the next generation of creators
With AI, anyone can now create high-quality video content. Whether it’s using generative AI to create new content, or leveraging AI models for editing, upscaling, or subtitling, artificial intelligence will change the world of media as we know it.
Picture the impact: marketing execs, influencers, and creators of all kinds empowered to produce stunning videos at scale. All that stands in the way of this coming wave is the lack of tools to make creating video content effortless and affordable.
That’s where you come in. With incredible technology from Livepeer AI, Zora, Story Protocol, and Swarm Zero at your fingertips, you have the opportunity to shape this new frontier. Build something extraordinary—applications that will define the next era of video content creation.
About Livepeer
Livepeer’s mission is to build the world’s open media infrastructure. The Livepeer network is a decentralized compute network that has already been used to transcribe millions of minutes of video on a weekly basis. With the launch of Livepeer AI, video developers can now leverage low-cost compute to power the resource-intensive process of AI inference for generative video creation.
The future of media is AI. Livepeer AI is enabling that future by making building AI video tools easier and cheaper than ever before. Livepeer AI offers developers a full range of AI functions —text-to-image, image-to-image, and image-to-video capabilities—backed by the cost-effective GPU compute power of the Livepeer Network. In addition to generative video creation, Livepeer AI also provides developers with AI-powered video editing, upscaling, subtitling and more to support the end-to-end video development experience.
How It Works
Hackers will submit a project in one of three categories:
-
Social Media App: Create a fun and engaging web app that utilizes Livepeer AI pipelines to provide a novel user experience with viral potential.
-
Developer Tools: Create a tool that makes it easier for developers to leverage generative AI in their own applications.
-
Creator Tools: Build a generative AI tool that helps content creators meaningfully engage with their audience.
To get your imagination running, we have provided an example for each category.
-
AI Photo Booth: React-based web app that takes a visitor’s webcam output and uses Livepeer’s image-to-image pipeline to generate stylized portraits that can easily be saved and shared on social media.
-
Web-Based AI Workbench: Web app interface for research & development with Livepeer AI pipelines.
-
AI Monster Maker: Application that gives viewers the ability to generate artwork of monsters for a tabletop RPG live stream.
You won’t be going it alone. Our teams will be available for 1-1 calls, mentor workshops, and deep technical overviews to ensure your project hits the mark. In addition, we have amazing bounties from Zora, Story Protocol, and Swarm Zero that will be announced soon.
Support and Structure
All developers will have access to a full support team, including a Program Manager, Marketing Manager, and Operations Manager, to guide you through each step.
-
1-1 mentorship: For tailored advice and insights.
-
Technical deep dives: To master the tech stack and tools you’ll be using.
-
Custom marketing: To help you promote your project with a personalized plan, dedicated emails, and a tailored hackathon homepage.
-
Logistics: From scouting participants to team-building, we’ve got you covered.
