About this hackathon
A free one-week online hackathon by TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest): build a working web app with any AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Windsurf, Kiro…) and verify it with Kane CLI, which runs plain-English test flows in a real browser or mobile emulator. Best entries close the loop so the agent reads Kane's results and fixes its own code. Build Oct 26–Nov 2; submit a repo, 3-minute demo video and live URL by Nov 2, 11:59 PM IST. Open worldwide, 18+, solo or teams up to 4. $3,000 cash.

一句话简介：TestMu AI（原 LambdaTest）办的一周线上黑客松：用任意 AI 编程智能体做一个能跑的 Web 应用，再用 Kane CLI 自动验证它，让「写代码的 AI」能检查自己的成果。
看点：Claude Code、Cursor、Copilot、Codex、Windsurf、Kiro 或自建 MCP 都行；Kane CLI 用自然语言描述流程，在真实浏览器或 iOS/Android 模拟器里跑，返回通过/失败和录屏；评分看能跑（Ships）、真验证（Verified）、闭环（Closed loop：智能体读 Kane 的结果再改代码）、巧思（Craft）四项各占 1/4；官方给了四个方向：自验证应用、嵌入开发流程的验证工具、浏览器智能体、需求自动生成测试；免费、无需申请、不限名额，注册 TestMu AI 送 10,000 Kane CLI 额度；提交 GitHub 仓库、3 分钟演示视频、一段说明和可访问链接
奖金：3,000 美元现金（第 1 名 1,500 / 第 2 名 1,000 / 第 3 名 500），获奖队另有 3 个月 Kane CLI Pro 等权益
截止日期：11月2日 23:59（印度时间，北京时间 11月3日 02:29）（线上，全球）
