The six-hour prototype presented at the Claude Hackathon.

Commons helps people early in their careers find nearby events, community leaders, and people worth meeting when they do not already have a strong professional network.

What I owned

I built the workflows for five parallel web-search agents. Arya Punjabi and I packaged them into a containerized full-stack app and shipped the prototype in six hours.

Result

Commons placed in the top two. It also showed me where open-ended agents stop helping: API rate limits became a constraint quickly, and structured data still won for parts of the search.
