We’re running the Swans Applied AI Hackathon this weekend; Feb 27 to Mar 2, fully virtual, $10k prize pool.
The premise is simple: you get a real business problem from an actual U.S. law firm client and 72 hours to build a working solution. n8n is a natural fit for this one given the workflow automation and integration side of the problem.
A few things that make this different:
Real client problem. Not a made-up scenario. Solo only, just you and your skills. Judged by VCs, AI experts, and law firm owners who actually care if it works. Top builders get fast-tracked for roles at Swans; we build applied AI systems for U.S. law firms.
If you’ve been looking for a reason to stress-test your n8n workflows on something real - this is it. Happy to answer any questions here too
I build AI automation systems for businesses (n8n + custom Python + Claude API). Currently working on a multi-agent business performance analyzer for an Amazon seller and an AI concierge for a hospitality startup.
The “real client problem from a law firm” angle is what sold me – building for a real scenario with real constraints is way more interesting than a hypothetical. Excited to see the brief tonight.
I’ve just submitted my hackathon project along with the full walkthrough recording and all required materials.
Everything has been implemented according to the brief, and the automation is fully functional and ready for review. I’m looking forward to your feedback and would be happy to clarify or walk through anything further if needed.
Thank you for the opportunity — excited for your thoughts.
