Resources & support for Bot-a-thon Hackers

This page brings together the most useful build resources for hackers, plus the mentorship schedule and community touchpoints you will want handy while building. Use it as your starting point when your team is planning, implementing or looking for support.

Apify

Automation and scraping

Apify

Use Apify to research websites, automate repetitive workflows, and gather the structured data your bot needs. It is especially helpful for teams building agents that monitor, summarize, or act on live web information.

Browse curated Aya community resources to learn where Apify fits in your build stack.

Watch the walkthrough to see practical patterns for agent automation and data extraction.

Superplane

Agent infrastructure

Superplane

Superplane gives teams a strong starting point for production-ready agent apps. Use it when you want clearer implementation patterns, open-source reference code, and a community where you can ask technical questions while shipping.

Review the docs to understand the platform and the building blocks available to your team.

Explore the GitHub repository and community channels for examples, support, and updates.

Zynd AI

Agent development

Zynd AI

Zynd AI is a helpful track for teams building practical AI agents and developer-facing workflows. Use their platform resources to understand the ecosystem, review implementation patterns, and get hands-on faster during the hackathon.

Start with the main site and docs to understand the product, capabilities, and developer workflow.

Use the tutorials and Python SDK repository when your team wants examples or integration help while building.

GitHub Education

Student tooling

GitHub Education

If you are a student, redeem the GitHub Student Developer Pack to unlock useful products for building and deploying faster. Pair that with GitHub Copilot to accelerate ideation, coding, debugging, and documentation during the hackathon.
