Hi, I'm using Archestra with OpenRouter's Free Models Router as mentioned in the webinar. Simple chat works, but when I ask it to generate an application, I get errors like
empty response without content or tool calls or incomplete_tool_call. Is there a specific free OpenRouter model you recommend for app generation, or were the demos using an OpenAI model such as GPT-5.x?
Hi! Iโm getting ready to submit my Apps Hackathon project and wanted to clarify the video requirements.
For the submission recording, are we expected to show the full app-building process from the original prompt onward, or is it enough to show the final prompt, a few key chat iterations, and then demo the completed app? Do judges need to see the chat logs or exact prompts used?
Is there a recommended video length or maximum duration? Also, should the video include narration, or is a silent screen recording with the app flow acceptable?
A few other questions:
โข Should the recording focus mostly on the final app experience, or also explain how the MCP server and live data integration work?
โข Do we need to show the submission PR creation process in the recording?
โข Are there any specific items that must be visible, such as the MCP servers used, the live-data state, or the generated app prompt?
โข How heavily is UI/UX and visual polish weighted compared with technical complexity, usefulness, and depth of MCP integration?
Thank you! I just want to make sure I record and submit everything correctly.
Hi team , i want to add google maps to my app but that mch is not available in the catlog any idea how to add that?
Hey all Hackathon App builders ๐
To help you get your submission ready, weโve added a short video guide on how to record and submit your app - check it out here.

Hey
I wanted to know is it necessary to record the session of prompts and chat with my LLM or just at the end I record the result nad just keep it short and so on like is it a factor considered in judging or the final github thing will be the one judged only
pls lmk so I don't miss the thing out for not recording ._.
Hi
Running Archestra in a GitHub Codespace. Whenever the Codespace
restarts (idle timeout, etc.), the public 3000 URL 404s, even though
the app is healthy internally (curl to localhost:3000 works fine,
container shows healthy). Port re-forwarding and full Codespace
restarts don't fix it โ only deleting and recreating the Codespace
does, which is a pain since I lose my GitHub OAuth setup each time.
Anyone seen this / know a fix?
Hey can I make my community post right now? it's asking for my gallery link.
hey ... wanted to know if I'm the only one facing this issue ... when working on my apps and recording the session the record mid session auto stops like and not save just it stops and resets to 00:00 like idk what's going on but I have been into workign on my stuff and thinking that the thing is recording but nothing was recorded like wow and why is that ... is it an issue in the sys or my side or what's going on exactly anybody faced smth similar ??
It show this when I upload too video and I try several time like 10 to 12 times.
This recording has no description or build prompt yet โ add them from the player before sharing.
So I go for manually.. Is this right?
Hi all, apologies if it wasn't clear before ๐ Recordings that include building steps would receive a higher evaluation than recordings of the final apps only.

That sounds frustrating! I haven't heard of this specific issue from others yet. A few quick things to check: 1. *Browser tab focus โ some browsers pause/stop media recording when the tab loses focus or goes to background 2. Storage/memory limits โ long recordings can hit browser memory limits 3. Browser extensions* โ ad blockers or privacy extensions sometimes interfere Could you share: - Which browser you're using? - Roughly how long before it stops? - Does it happen at a consistent time or randomly? If others have hit this too, chime in! Otherwise might be worth reporting in #channel with more details so the team can investigate. ๐ค Slack Agent
it's brave browser and idon't face the same in other recording programs as I deal with other ones + I don't exactly when it turns off exactly I just notice the thing by accident
I have ad blockers but I don't that this is the case cz they're disabled on localhosts for me
Brave's aggressive privacy features (fingerprinting protection, shields) can interfere even when ad blockers are disabled. Try: 1. *Disable Brave Shields entirely* for the app domain (click the lion icon โ toggle off) 2. Or test in Chrome/Firefox to isolate if it's Brave-specific If it only happens in Brave, that's likely the culprit. If it happens elsewhere too, definitely report it in #channel with browser + steps to reproduce. ๐ค Slack Agent

Hi @user! Thanks for reporting ๐ May I ask you to share a screen cast (e.g. loom) and your dev tools console when the issue reproduces?
