2nd AI Austin Community Hackathon

LoopMessage was proud to support and sponsor the 2nd AI Austin Community Hackathon as a local Austin company. The event was held from February 28 through March 1, 2025.

Hosted by AITX and webAI, the weekend brought together developers, entrepreneurs, and AI enthusiasts for focused building and collaboration. Participants worked across several tracks, including open source AI, AI agents, locally built infrastructure, and projects using Meta’s Llama models.

Supporting builders

Hackathons are a powerful way to turn ideas into working prototypes. In a short period of time, teams have to understand a problem, make practical design decisions, build a usable product, and explain why their approach matters.

As a local company, LoopMessage sponsored the event to help support Austin’s growing engineering and AI community. We believe community events create valuable opportunities for people to learn, experiment, meet collaborators, and turn ideas into working projects.

The event culminated in Hack Fair, a science-fair-style showcase where participants presented their work to the broader Austin community. It gave teams an opportunity to share what they built with local investors, operators, and fellow developers.

Why community events matter

The AI ecosystem grows through practical experimentation and open exchange. Community hackathons give people a place to learn from one another, test new tools, and discover collaborators outside their usual circles.

We were happy to support AITX and webAI’s efforts to grow Austin’s engineering community and to encourage teams building useful, ambitious projects. LoopMessage is grateful to have contributed to an event that brought local builders together.
