The Sensay Connect Hackathon, hosted with The Ned London and powered by DoraHacks brought builders from across the world together to push the limits of what can be built with the Sensay AI Engine.
Over the course of the event, developers built innovative applications that showcased how the Sensay AI Engine can power real-world use cases across real estate, e-commerce, and networking.
