Cursor Hackathon (July 23, 2026)
Visited local Cursor Hackathon organized by Manuel Zimmermann & team.
I showed how I use my.a2gent.net harness with brute agent backend which has CursorCLI integration to code a RPG game in medieval setting (https://lnkd.in/dDy-99dR). I dropped attempt to create pixel-perfect isometric game because I won't be able to create so many animations and assets myself and instead I'm relying on agentic generation of everything - maps, assets, characters, lore. My role becomes just a QA / judge of what is good and what is not. Harness here plays a crucial role to allow planning using TODO.md, parallelization/queuing of tasks, loops, custom tools, while being cost-efficient.
As for other demos, I think it was great.
- https://superscribe.io/ by Siim Haugas allows to transcribe your phone calls so that your agents can use it for tasks/context. Useful for Sales, even has Pipedrive integration. Although I think Pipedrive had similar feature where you can call from their app and also have transcription saved. I liked the UI, live demo and depth of the product.
- https://openphonex.com/ - allows your agent to have a phone number and get voice -> text transcribed. Useful for various businesses that need phone presence but want to automate customer comms. (reminds me of Svara AI)
- Ahmed Aleryani showed his harness, very similar to mine (speech-to-text, tools, showing inline result of a built page)
- https://launchvid.io/ plans to generate video and demo your product (seemed cool, people mentioned Remotion and NotebookLM as hot competitors)
- Roman Ismagilov showed a mobile app to have multiple people join in on small quick team activity (like getting a ☕️ coffee together in the office)
- https://lnkd.in/drCbbEkv - a web app for tourists with a map and audio guide (specifically for Polish tourists and Tallinn)
- https://lnkd.in/dqD_rrvg - an agent-powered newspaper archive
Also saw familiar faces, got some free credits for using Cursor. I like their composer 2.5 model it was a daily driver for me for lots of mid-complexity tasks just because its fast, affordable and gets things done. With release of kimi 3, I wonder what the team will cook now too.
