Congratulations to Dylan Chia (CEG Final Year student) for clinching 2nd place at the AI Agent Hackathon organized by The Generative Beings!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dylan Chia, CEG Final Year student, competed solo and developed PadiChat, an AI-powered agent designed to help Southeast Asian farmers improve their crop yields by answering farming-related questions. Built using LangChain and LangGraph, the project stood out for its meaningful impact and practical use of GenAI tools.<\/p>\n

This was Dylan\u2019s first solo hackathon, and he walked away with not just a $5,000 prize, but also valuable connections and learning experiences from fellow GenAI enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
