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.
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.
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

PDD (Required)
Prompt-Driven Development (PDD) - Your project MUST demonstrate PDD principles: Prompts define behavior; code is generated Changes made by modifying prompts and regenerating (not patching) Intent preserved in prompts, not buried in code
