If you're participating in the Deepgram Hackathon on DEV, we’re so excited to have you joining us! Need some help with your submission or participation? You’re in the right spot.

If you have any questions about how this contest works (ex: due dates, how to post your submission, picking a category/challenge, etc.) the DEV team is here to help you.

How to Use This Thread

If you’ve browsed Deepgram’s documentation but need some help understanding or implementing a feature, @bekahhw from the Deepgram team will be here to jump in and assist you. This thread is a great resource for you whether you’re taking part in the “Build” or “Innovative Ideas” challenge.

Note: Don’t forget that we’re granting a special profile badge to anyone (outside of the DEV and Deepgram teams) who answers a question and to anyone who ASKS a technical question about Deepgram here in the help thread. Additionally, the DEV team will be randomly selecting one person per badge category to receive $50 USD to the Forem Shop! This goes for anyone in the DEV Community – whether you plan to submit an entry or not. For more information, take a look at the official contest rules here. DEV and Deepgram will wait to answer thread questions until we’ve given the community a chance to hop in.

Open Office Hours with Deepgram Devs

Deepgram will also be hosting open “office hours” on their Twitch Stream every Friday at 6:30 PM UTC throughout the contest (March 11, 18, & 25. April 1 & 8). During these streams, Deepgram will be addressing some of the questions asked in this thread and in the live Twitch chat. If they choose a question you posted to the help thread to talk about on the live stream, you'll be entered to win some Deepgram Swag!

If you'd like to share an update on the progress you're making on your project or if you'd like to connect with other participants, please do so in the Community Discussion Thread!
