Themes
🧟 Theme 1: "The Exorcism Protocol" (Autonomous Agent Swarms)
A paranormal outbreak is spreading through a live facility simulation. Teams build an autonomous supervised swarm — CrewAI agents with distinct roles, tools, and only partial individual knowledge — that must sense, share intel, and coordinate containment in real time. Victory is measured by the swarm, not a single model: containment speed, false-alarm rate, and "civilians saved" all feed the live venue scoreboard.
🎃 Theme 2: The "Haunted Dashboard" (Generative UI Pipelines)
Create an automated Spooky Tactical Command Station served by Parasail's inference endpoints. The system takes real-time, unstructured "Spooky Incident Logs" (e.g., zombie outbreaks, phantom activity levels) and processes them through a structured retrieval network to dynamically build and compile functional, beautifully designed web interfaces on the fly over WebSockets.
