Hack-A-Gent

I built Hack-A-Gent, a CLI-based AI agent that helps developers turn a Devpost hackathon challenge into a working project in minutes. Simply paste a Devpost competition URL into the terminal, and Hack-A-Gent analyzes the challenge, extracts the judging criteria and submission requirements, plans an appropriate architecture, and generates a production-ready project scaffold.

You bring your own LLM API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, NVIDIA NIMs, Ollama, and more), and Hack-A-Gent orchestrates the rest—from understanding the hackathon prompt to generating code, documentation, and a submission-ready starting point.

The goal isn’t to replace developers, but to eliminate the repetitive setup work so builders can spend more time refining their ideas, polishing their projects, and creating a great demo.

Added proper guest mode to StartupOS! Users can now complete the founder interview, generate a blueprint, and explore the workspace without creating an account. Also fixed a bunch of authentication edge cases, improved session handling, and ran a full Playwright audit to make the app much more stable.

Thanks for the reviews, those helped really well. For some reasons my app broke during the QA Testing and I would apologize for that. (I have fixed it now hope so!). Also I have reworked the CSS(to make it less AI slop). Also this is 100% AI free. I hope you like it

StartupOS — The AI Operating System for FoundersInspirationStarting a startup is hard. Founders often spend weeks validating ideas, researching competitors, defining their target audience, creating business plans, and building an initial online presence.We wanted to build a platform that could compress this entire process into hours instead of weeks.That’s how StartupOS was born — an AI-powered operating system that helps founders go from a raw idea to a launch-ready startup.What it doesStartupOS acts as an AI co-founder that guides users through the earliest and most important stages of building a company.Users complete a guided founder interview, and StartupOS automatically generates:Comprehensive startup blueprintsBrand identitiesIdeal Customer Profiles (ICP)Revenue modelsProduct roadmapsCompetitor intelligenceDaily founder briefsAI startup roasts and feedbackLaunch-ready websitesEverything is managed through a unified founder workspace.How we built itStartupOS is built as a modern full-stack monorepo.FrontendNext.jsReactTypeScriptTailwind CSSshadcn/uiBackendFastifyTypeScriptPrisma ORMPostgreSQLAI InfrastructureMulti-provider AI routingGoogle GeminiGroqOpenRouterNVIDIA NIMDeploymentVercelRailwayDockerThe monorepo architecture allows the frontend, backend, and shared packages to evolve together while maintaining a clean developer experience.Challenges we ran intoBuilding StartupOS involved solving numerous engineering challenges:Designing a reliable multi-provider AI failover systemHandling provider outages and rate limits gracefullyMigrating from a monolithic architecture to dedicated frontend and backend servicesDebugging complex deployment issues across Railway and VercelImplementing persistent AI-generated assets and state managementCreating robust error handling and production-grade fallback systemsMaintaining a smooth user experience despite long-running AI tasksAccomplishments that we’re proud ofSuccessfully shipped a production-ready full-stack AI SaaS platformBuilt a complete founder workflow from idea to launchImplemented resilient AI failover across multiple providersDeployed scalable frontend and backend infrastructureAchieved successful end-to-end testing across the entire platformCreated a responsive experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile devicesWhat we learnedThrough StartupOS, we learned a tremendous amount about:Full-stack architectureProduction deploymentsAI orchestrationAPI reliabilityError recovery strategiesMonorepo development workflowsBuilding products for real usersWhat’s next for StartupOSOur roadmap includes:Visual website editorOne-click domain setupTeam collaboration featuresStartup analytics and trackingPDF and pitch deck exportsAI growth recommendationsMarketplace integrationsAdditional deployment providersStartupOS is just getting started.

🚀 StartupOS V2 — From Idea to Launch, Powered by AIStartupOS V2 is the next generation of StartupOS, an AI-powered platform designed to help founders turn startup ideas into launch-ready businesses.This repository originally started as StartupOS V1, which contained both the frontend and backend in a single codebase. As the project grew, the backend was extracted into a dedicated repository to improve scalability, deployment, and maintainability, allowing the frontend to evolve independently as StartupOS V2.✨ FeaturesAI-powered founder interview flowAutomatic startup blueprint generationCompetitor intelligence dashboardDaily founder briefs and insightsWebsite generation powered by multiple AI providersInteractive founder workspaceBrand, ICP, revenue, roadmap, and startup roast tabsAuthentication with persistent sessionsFully responsive UI across desktop, tablet, and mobile🛠 Tech StackNext.jsTypeScriptTailwind CSSReactshadcn/uiVercelFramer Motion📈 EvolutionStartupOS V1Monolithic architectureFrontend + Backend in one repositoryStartupOS V2Dedicated frontend repositorySeparate production backend serviceImproved scalability and deployment workflowsBetter developer experienceProduction-ready architecture🎯 GoalStartupOS aims to dramatically reduce the time required to validate and launch startups by giving founders an AI copilot that guides them from raw idea to execution.Built with countless iterations, debugging sessions, deployments, and QA cycles — and now officially beta-ready 🚀#StartupOS #HackClub #Stardance #NextJS #TypeScript #TailwindCSS #AI #WebDevelopment #Startup

Fixing website generations!
AI providors keeps failing

Worked on StartupOS today 🚀

✅ Improved AI website generation flow
✅ Fixed UI bugs and polished the dashboard
✅ Refined prompt engineering for better startup and business plan generation
✅ Tested deployment and overall user experience

Today’s focus was making StartupOS more reliable and easier to use. Still lots to build, but the product is starting to come together.

GitHub progress, testing, debugging, and feature development completed.
