The 4 Core Problem Tracks
HackItBros '26 was engineered around real, unsolved problems facing Indian merchants, families, and engineers. No toy chat interfaces.
Zero-Click Store Operator
Convert natural conversational Hinglish grocery orders received on WhatsApp into automated inventory lookups, live bill calculations, and instant dispatch commands without manual clerk intervention.
“Is this actually an autonomous operator, or just a chatbot?”
VyaparPulse
Replace unstructured udhaar notebooks with an intelligent ledger that predicts receivables, generates friendly WhatsApp payment reminders, and flags impending cash-flow deficits.
“Does this actually help a store owner make a better financial decision?”
CareBridge
A panic-proof multilingual triage and routing assistant that matches patients to nearby ICU beds, oxygen, and emergency specialists with strict clinical safety constraints.
“Could this meaningfully reduce the time and confusion in an emergency?”
BugBuster
Autonomous repository scanner that analyzes runtime logs, isolates the offending code block, proposes AST-level fixes, and generates regression unit tests before pushing PRs.
“Can this safely diagnose and verify bug fixes autonomously?”
Why We Host Hackathons & Gather Grassroots Builders
Most tech conferences are 90% networking chatter, expensive badges, and corporate jargon. SlowBros Labs is built on the radical premise that great software is made by hungry people who code with intense focus, eat good food, drink cold beverages, and solve authentic problems.
The Anti-Slide Rule
PowerPoints don't ship to users. If your backend doesn't answer a webhook or execute a database transaction live in front of the judges, you haven't built it yet.
Zero Gatekeeping
No participation fees. Free food, refreshing beverages, high-speed fiber WiFi, and direct mentorship from engineers shipping production AI workflows every day.
Central India to the World
Silicon Valley doesn't hold a monopoly on deep intelligence. Indore, tier-2 cities, and grassroots college hubs are teeming with raw, gritty engineering talent ready to scale globally.
Lifelong Brothers in Code
HackItBros isn't a one-and-done event. It is an ongoing collective of friends, co-founders, and contributors who support each other's startups and open-source packages.
