如果你也觉得现在的 AI 不该只会打字——而是应该能开口说话、边听边说、自然接话/被打断，甚至还能自己跑流程——那 3 月 1 日在日本线下举办的 VOX TOKYO 就是一次很适合“直接上手”的线下冲刺。

这是一场聚焦社会课题解决的线下黑客松。我们邀请开发者、创业者和创意人才齐聚川崎，利用 TRAE 的高效开发能力、MiniMax 的自然语音合成，以及 Agora 的实时交互技术，在 8 小时内做出一个能 Demo 的语音 AI Agent 原型。新手也欢迎，现场有人一起 vibe coding，餐饮饮料都安排好，你只要带电脑 + 一个点子来就行。

作为 RTE 开发者社区关注的实时交互（Real-Time Engagement）场景，我们也会鼓励大家用 TEN Framework 快速搭起实时语音链路：把“听—说—对话节奏/打断—工具调用”的关键环节串起来，让你把精力花在 Agent 的核心逻辑和产品体验上，而不是被底层实时音频、延迟和稳定性拖住。

挑战方向也很“有戏”：👵银发陪伴与记忆照护、🗼访日游客沉浸式文化导览、⚙中小企业运营自动化（预约/库存等）、👨🏻🏫24/7 个性化学习导师。最后会有 Demo 展示与评奖（奖金池 10 万日元）以及交流环节——很适合把“语音 Agent”从概念推进到一个能拿出来讲的作品。

Vox Tokyo: A Voice AI Hackathon for Social Good

✨ About the Event

Building with Voice AI used to be reserved for specialists. Not anymore. With the rapid rise of LLMs and AI agents, the barrier to entry has never been lower — and the possibilities have never been bigger.

Vox Tokyo is a mission-driven hackathon where ideas and experimentation come first.

• Beginners welcome: New to AI development? Jump right in — this is your chance to get started.

• Learn from the best: Industry pioneers and vibe-coding pros will be in the room and ready to help.

• Just show up: Food and drinks are on us. All you need to bring is an idea.

You don’t need to build anything perfect. Come explore what’s possible when you put “voice” at the center of solving real problems.

🍽 Catering and drinks provided throughout the day.
