01
Build something
A real agent, a tool, an integration, an experiment — scoped so it can be finished within a cohort. It does not need to be polished; it needs to be honest work.
The programme
What it is
Platforms improve when the people using them in earnest can reach the people building them. Rasa Heroes makes that loop deliberate: a cohort of builders, each working on a project of their own choosing, each publishing the result, each reporting back on what the platform made easy and what it made hard.
It is not an ambassador scheme and there is nothing to sell. The work is the point — repositories other people can learn from, and feedback specific enough to act on.
Who it's for
Veterans and newcomers
Long-time Rasa users with opinions formed by production experience — migrations, scaling, the sharp edges you only find after month six.
Builders new to Rasa who want a structured reason to learn it properly. Fresh eyes find the problems experienced users have stopped noticing, which makes first-run feedback some of the most valuable we get.
The work
What participants do
02
Publish the repository
Your build goes up as a public repository with a README that explains what it does and how to run it. Other builders learn from it; the showcase links to it.
03
Report back
What worked, what broke, where the docs let you down, what you had to work around. This goes directly to the people building the platform — not into a feedback form that nobody reads.
$ uv run rasa init --engine maestro# build the thing — this part takes longer$ git init && git add . && git commit -m "Cohort build"$ gh repo create my-rasa-build --public --source=. --push# then post the link in the communityIn return
What you get
Recognition
Your work is featured in the community showcase and highlighted in community channels, credited to you.
Early access
Heroes try new platform capabilities before general release, and their feedback shapes what ships.
Direct contact
A channel to the engineers and product people who build Rasa, for the duration of your cohort and beyond.
Cohorts
How cohorts work
The programme runs in rolling cohorts. Each cohort has a start date, a loose cadence of check-ins in the community, and an end point where builds are published and written up. Applications open per cohort — if the current one has started, you register interest for the next.
You choose what to build. The only requirements are that it uses Rasa, that the repository goes public, and that you write down what you learned.
