We live in a world overflowing with technology, but not all of it makes life better for the people who need it most. Doable is a one-day hackathon that challenges you to change that.

Using Lovable, the AI-powered product builder, your team will vibe code a real, working web product in a single day. No boilerplate. No barriers. Just your ideas, your prompts, and the drive to build something that genuinely matters.

The theme? Impact. We're putting four real-world problems on the table, spanning human connection, accessibility, and the way we navigate our daily lives. Your job is to pick one that resonates and build something that could actually help.

Whether you're a designer, developer, or someone who's never shipped a product before, if you can describe what you want to build, you can build it today.

Doors open at 9 am. Submissions close at 3:45 pm. Let's build something doable.

Requirements

Problem Statement (choose 1 out of the 3)

  1. As AI becomes more common, people are spending more time interacting with technology and less time connecting with each other. Can you build something that encourages more genuine human interaction?
  2. A lot of audio content is still hard to access. Podcasts, voice notes, and video calls often don’t have captions or transcripts. Can you build something that makes spoken content easier to understand through speaker identification and emotional tone context, not just raw text?
  3. When people are managing a lot at once, important notifications and messages can easily get buried. Can you build something that helps them keep track of what they need to respond to?

Create a 3-minute demo video (max): record your screen and walk us through what you built, the problem it solves, and how it works. No slides needed, show the product.

Submissions are due by 3:45 PM on 24 March 2026. Late submissions will not be accepted.
