Voice Agents Weekend Build
911 Dispatch
Working PrototypeWeekend Build · Voice AI · Team build
Problem
A large share of 911 calls are non-emergencies, which makes it harder for real emergencies to get attention quickly.
Build
My team built a voice triage prototype that could handle low-priority calls like noise complaints or accidental dials and push urgent cases forward faster.
Takeaways
- For something this sensitive, escalation logic matters more than clean transcription.
- In a short build sprint, speed only helps if the team stays aligned.

Hack the Valley
Lingo Lift
Best DomainHackathon · Voice AI · Team build
Problem
Many newcomers and English language learners struggle to access services confidently when language becomes a barrier at the point of interaction.
Build
We built Lingo Lift, a voice-first platform for international students, immigrants, and English language learners using multilingual speech, AI voice responses, authentication, and a Supabase-backed application flow.
Takeaways
- Voice-first interaction made the product direction feel more accessible than a text-heavy alternative.
- Combining speech, auth, and database tooling into one experience forced the team to stay focused on real usability.
- Winning Best Domain reinforced that a clear problem and polished execution can stand out quickly at a hackathon.
