Hackathon guide

An AI teammate for your whole hackathon team.

One shared AI agent in every channel. Your whole team talks to the same agent, it remembers your project, and it researches, plans and writes while you build.

Set up in five minutes

  1. 1

    Create the project

    One person signs up and creates a project named after your team.

  2. 2

    Invite your team

    Settings → People. Add teammates by email or @username - as many as you like.

  3. 3

    Add four channels

    Pick a ready-made agent for each, using the layout below.

  4. 4

    Connect GitHub

    Settings → Connections, so the agent can read your repo and search your code.

The four channels we recommend

Each channel's agent has its own job and its own memory, so research doesn't get mixed up with your pitch.

# ideas

Agent: Planner

Brainstorm, pick an idea, and break it into tasks with owners.

# research

Agent: Research

APIs, datasets, competitors and prior work - with links to its sources.

# build

Agent: Code review

Connect GitHub, then ask about your code, review changes and track bugs.

# pitch

Agent: Writer

README, demo script and slide outline, written from what you built.

During the hackathon

  • Brief each channel once: your idea, your stack, the event's rules and the deadline. The agent remembers it.
  • Hand off research as a background task while you code. It keeps going if you close the tab, and you're notified when it's done.
  • Drop in files - PDFs, docs, screenshots of a problem statement. The agent reads them.
  • Ask “what did we decide about auth?” instead of scrolling back through chat.
  • If two of you ask for different things, the agent points out the conflict and asks the team which to follow.
  • Anything that changes a connected tool - opening a GitHub issue, adding rows to a sheet - waits for someone to approve it.

Before judging

  • In #pitch, ask for a two-minute pitch: the problem, what you built, how it works, and what's next.
  • Ask for a README drafted from the whole project conversation, then edit it.
  • The project owner can download everything - every channel, message and file - from Settings → People → Export.

Play fair

Follow your event's rules on AI, and make sure your team understands everything you submit. Check facts, numbers and links - the AI can be wrong.

Ready when your team is.

Create the project, invite your team, and give your first channel a job.
