Spec service
FolderAI Spec
Turns an idea or a brief into a spec with acceptance criteria.
OpenWho it's for
- Developers and PMs who want to see how fast they can ship a product with agents
- Small teams looking for a reason to build something together over a weekend
- Solo builders ready to compete with teams on the strength of a good spec
What you get
A team MVP built from the brief, scored by a jury
- An MVP built to the brief and the spec behind it
- A jury score and feedback on both the product and the spec
- A portfolio project with a clear story: brief → spec → product
How the hackathon runs
- Kickoff
The brief
Every participant gets the same brief at the same moment — nobody sees it in advance.
- Stage 1
Spec
Turn the brief into a spec with acceptance criteria — the FolderAI spec service is available for this.
- Stage 2
Build
Build the MVP from your spec with any agents and tools. Code is written during the hackathon.
- Final
Demo and jury
A short demo and a jury score against the published criteria.
Rules
- Solo or in a team; team-size limits are announced with the date
- One brief for everyone, published at kickoff
- All code is written during the hackathon; existing libraries and any AI tools are allowed
- The jury scores: fit to the brief, spec quality, whether the demo works, and how honestly the team says what isn't done
