RAISE Summit Hackathon

I decided to join the RAISE Summit Hackathon solo at the very last minute.

Fast forward through 36 hours of sprinting and severe sleep deprivation. I actually almost missed the winning announcement because I was so exhausted. But I am beyond excited to share that I took home 3rd place in the Blackbox.AI track.

Prompting and Humming

I am proud to present my project, ServeTheVibe. It is an AI copilot for music production.

The loading screen for ServeTheVibe.

The idea is simple. You give the application a text prompt and a basic humming melody. It takes those inputs and generates a complete Strudel music project.

The main interface pairs an AI chat collaborator with a live Strudel code editor.

Under the Hood

The core of the application relies on a multimodal transformer model. This handles the audio and text processing.

Once the intent and melody are understood, the BlackboxAI Code Agent takes over to generate the actual code. We target Strudel, which is a music-focused domain-specific language that feels very similar to TypeScript.

You can try the live demo on Vercel. Fair warning, it might still have a few bugs from the hackathon rush. You can also check out the source code in the GitHub repo.

The People Behind the Event

Huge shoutout to the Blackbox.AI team, specifically Roger and Richard. I could not have pulled off this intensive vibe coding marathon without the generous free credits they provided.

Massive thanks to lablab.ai, RAISE Summit, NativelyAI, Grok, Prosus, Vultr, Qualcomm, CoralOS, Snowflake, Qubic, Fetch.ai, and the Fetch.ai Innovation Lab for making the event happen.

Now let us vibe coders code the vibes.
