Hack-A-Gent is an autonomous hackathon coding agent that transforms a Devpost competition into a working software project. It analyzes the competition brief, plans a winning strategy using multiple AI agents, generates production-ready code, and can build and deploy the final application through a simple CLI.

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.
