Prompt Driven Development (PDD) Hackathon

Build Fast. Launch Loud.

The PDD Hackathon is a one-day, high-intensity build event focused on creating real, working AI-powered products — fast.

You MUST also register here: https://promptdriven.ai/events/build-fast-launch-loud-prompt-driven-hackathon

This event is centered around a new way of building software: instead of traditional development workflows, you’ll use Prompt Driven Development (PDD) to direct AI agents that handle core logic. The goal isn’t just to prototype—it’s to ship something meaningful within hours.

You’ll move quickly from idea to implementation, using prompts as the primary interface for building, testing, and iterating. By the end of the day, teams will have live, functional applications ready to demo.

Top teams will have the opportunity to pitch their projects to investors and industry leaders, with the potential to take their ideas beyond the hackathon.

Sponsors

  • ElevenLabs - The most realistic voice AI platform.

    • AI voice models and products powering millions of developers, creators, and enterprises. From low‑latency conversational agents to the leading AI voice generator for voiceovers and audiobooks.

  • Rtrvr.ai - is an AI web agent platform that lets you scrape data sets, automate any task, and monitor sites with just prompting.

    • Unlike traditional scrapers or screenshot-based agents, rtrvr.ai uses DOM-native intelligence to understand and interact with websites — achieving 81.39% success rate on industry benchmarks (the highest of any AI agent tested)

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build AI-driven applications using PDD

  • Rapidly iterate using prompt-based workflows

  • Deploy with infrastructure that supports real use cases

  • Present your product to peers, judges, and builders

Who It’s For

  • Developers who want to build faster

  • Students exploring AI-first development

  • Founders testing bold ideas quickly

  • Anyone curious about building with AI as a core tool

What Makes It Different

  • This isn’t about writing more code—it’s about building smarter systems.

  • You’ll focus on directing intelligence, not just implementing logic.

Outcome

Walk away with:

  • A shipped project

  • A chance to pitch to investors

  • Exposure to builders and operators in the space

  • A deeper understanding of AI-native development
