Welcome to the Kyndra Labs Vibe Coding Hackathon!
The future of software is written in natural language. We are challenging developers, designers, and AI enthusiasts to push the boundaries of what is possible with "vibe coding" and autonomous AI agents.
This hackathon isn't just about writing raw code; it's about orchestrating large language models to build intelligent, self-directed applications. Whether you are building the next generation of AI co-workers, a frictionless app-builder, or an intelligent study tool, we want to see how you bridge the gap between human intent and machine execution.
What Makes This Special: We place a massive emphasis on user experience. It is not enough for the AI to work; it needs to feel seamless. Submissions that incorporate cutting-edge UI/UX aesthetics—specifically frosted, translucent "Liquid Glass" designs with clean, light-grey components—will earn bonus points from our judging panel.
Requirements
Submission Requirements To be eligible for prizes, all participating teams must submit the following through Devpost 
Working Prototype & Live Project Link: A functional web application accessible via a public URL. You can easily host your projects for free using platforms like Vercel or Netlify. While you may use any stack, we highly encourage React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Firebase for rapid deployment and seamless state management.
Source Code: A link to a public GitHub repository containing your project code.
Demo Video: A 2-to-3 minute video demonstrating your application in action. Explain the problem you are solving, show the AI functionality, and highlight your UI design.
Project Description: A detailed written description on Devpost explaining your tech stack, the AI models utilized (and parameter scale, if training/fine-tuning your own), and the "vibe" or design philosophy behind your user interface.
Note: Projects must feature a core AI component (e.g., an LLM integration, autonomous agent, or prompt-based generation tool) to qualify.

Innovation & Creativity
Can this actually be built and deployed? Is your execution approach realistic and feasible? Have you thought through real-world challenges? We prioritize solutions that can be practically implemented over purely theoretical ideas.

About the challenge
The DawsHacks challenge will be open-ended and built around a pre-determined theme, allowing participants to interpret the problem space creatively and explore their own ideas.
Beginner Friendly
To make the experience accessible to everyone — especially beginners — we will also provide guiding project ideas, example directions, and mentorship throughout the event. Whether participants want to experiment, learn new tools, or build something impactful, the goal is to create a supportive environment where anyone can start building.
Requirements
What to Build
The challenge is intentionally very open-ended. Participants are free to build anything they want, as long as it connects to the event’s theme. Whether it’s a web app, game, AI tool, mobile app, creative prototype, or something experimental, the goal is to explore ideas, learn, and create something meaningful. Beginners are welcome, and guiding project ideas will be available for those who want a starting direction.
 
What to Submit
All teams will be evaluated based on the progress demonstrated in their GitHub repository throughout the event. Judges will review commits, development history, and the overall evolution of each project.
The main submission should include a public GitHub repository containing your code, along with a clear README explaining your project, how to run it, and what was built during the hackathon. Teams are also encouraged to include screenshots, demos, or short videos to help showcase their work.
