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! I’m 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:
• Should the recording focus mostly on the final app experience, or also explain how the MCP server and live data integration work?
• Do we need to show the submission PR creation process in the recording?
• Are there any specific items that must be visible, such as the MCP servers used, the live-data state, or the generated app prompt?
• 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
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 — 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?

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 — add them from the player before sharing.
So I go for manually.. Is this right?

Hi all, apologies if it wasn't clear before 🙏 Recordings that include building steps would receive a higher evaluation than recordings of the final apps only.
