Big Bad Bot Bash

Bots, Tales and Trivia

*Note: This contest is now closed and will be back next year in October 2026.
It’s time for the Genesys Community’s annual Big, Bad Bots Bash! Halloween is a time for innovation. Hence, the community summons our most daring scientists, experimenters, and tinkerers to share their bold innovations. As always, there are TWO main story challenges and a Trivia Tower Event to electrify our favorite season.

The Big, Bad Bot Bash Main Event

Contest 1: Genesys Showcase

*Note: Contest Now Closed

Have you conjured up a bot using Genesys software? We want to hear about it! Tell us how your invention came to life—what problem it solves, how it works, and what inspired you to create it. Let others peek into your laboratory of innovation for a chance to win!

*Winner Announced: Phaneendra Avatapalli

2025 was the year that AI came to the forefront of innovation. Tell us how it improved your personal life. Did AI help you create a portrait worthy of the alter, improve security around your castle, or cement a regimen to sharpen your day? The community wants to know.
