Developed by Think Technologies, the BTS Tech Connect Bot is an AI-powered resource and networking assistant designed to support the rapidly growing Black Tech Saturdays community. With over 2,000 active users, the bot provides members with instant access to mentors, funding opportunities, events, and resources right when they need them.

Built in just three weeks using Azure OpenAI, Zapier, Google BigQuery, and Looker Studio, the Tech Connect Bot makes it easy for members to navigate the ecosystem and take action toward their goals. Whether someone is searching for a grant, looking to collaborate on a project, or attending their first event, the bot helps streamline connections and remove barriers. It's more than a chatbot, it’s a digital bridge to opportunity, designed to grow with the community.
