Hi,

I wanted to ask about the API key we're currently using. It looks like the usage limit is quite low, and we're reaching the quota quickly during development.

Is there a way to get a higher-limit API key, an upgraded plan, or additional credits for our project? If there's a process to request one, could you please let me know?

Thank you!

Hi Team,

i did not receive any instructions about the hackathon..

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Vaibhav, a DevOps/SRE Engineer based in Solan, Himachal Pradesh. I work across the usual suspects — GitLab CI, AWS EKS, Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD, and Prometheus. Recently built a production-grade URL shortener deployed on EKS with a full DevSecOps pipeline and a Python-based incident remediation operator. Currently looking for my next DevOps/SRE role and joined Archestra to connect with people doing interesting infrastructure work, share what I've built, and learn from others in the space. Happy to be here!

hi team ,

hi all, is there any way to give a team access to a subset of models only ? I just see the possibility to hide models for everyone ?

Team, how is it going for everyone? :)

hi @user

For those participating in the Apps Hackathon :unicorn_face:

• How is it going?

• Where you able to find and follow the Quickstart guide we sent in the email?

• How the App submission flow works for you?

Please drop any questions or bug reports you have here 👇

Hi team! I finished my project, but I didn't receive the email with the submission link. Where can I submit my app?

Hi Archestra Hackathon Team,

I’m building my project using Archestra Apps and need an LLM API key with sufficient limits to run the app-building agent. My current provider’s free-tier limit is too low for the required request size.

Do participants receive sponsored API keys or credits for Cerebras or another supported provider? If so, could you please share the process for requesting access?

Thank you!

Hi mentors, I’d like some clarification about the judging expectations for the Archestra Apps Hackathon. Should we prioritize building an app with strong technical depth and impressive use of Archestra/MCP, or is it more important to solve a problem that is useful to a broad general audience?

Would a developer-focused app with a clear real-world use case be competitive, or are apps intended for general users preferred? How are technical execution, originality, usefulness and presentation weighted during judging?

hey i wanna ask something: if I contribute in this, any chance of me getting an internship?

Archestra bot is back 🎉 , it knows everything about archestra, deployment, and the hackathon 🙂

hi team!

my app uses the slack mcp and does real work in the channel it's connected to. now how do I record that for the submission? because it's just capturing the page it's recording.

can we get an option to submit our own screen recordings? @user @user

@user After creating MCP server to GitHub

can you please elaborate

@user, after logging into archestra ai with admin credentials we have to change the default credentials ?

Hey all, we’re having a Q&A webinar for the Hackathon participants today.

It starts in 3 hours - we’ll show you hot to build an App in Archestra + answer any questions you have.

👉 Register here

Hey! Where is the Apps Gallery repo or form to submit my hackathon project as suggested?

Hi @user

May I ask someone to submit a toy app to test the submission flow? It won't impact the final submission 🙂

For those who have their app using slack mcp.did you encounter the redirect_uri did not match any configured URIs error. @user

We’re starting our Hackathon intro event in 10 minutes! Join here

hi guys. Can I track costs per user in archestra (without making a team or proxy per user 🙂 ) ?

I tried submitting my project and got this

Hi team,

I'm getting an error while installing microsoft__playwright-mcp. Can anyone help me with a solution?

My Windows WSL is broken, so Docker Desktop won't start. Is there a supported way to run Archestra using GitHub Codespaces or another cloud environment for the hackathon?

hi could anyone submit via the “sign in via github” option?

Was there a recording from the webinar today?

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 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?

👋 Hi everyone!

Hey all Hackathon App builders 👋

To help you get your submission ready, we’ve 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 — 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?

Anyone facing the same issue or know a fix to it?

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 — 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.
