How was your experience building with Codex?

Codex helped me move from idea to a live AI product very fast. I used it to plan the product, build the React dashboard, create the backend API, connect real OpenAI calls, deploy the app, generate the logo, make a pitch deck, and record a demo video. It felt like working with a fast technical cofounder.

Describe your experience using Loops House as the hackathon platform. What worked well, what challenges (if any) did you face, and what improvements would you like to see?

Loops House made the submission flow clear and hackathon-friendly. The project steps, screenshots, repo URL, live app URL, and video fields helped me package the work properly for judges. The only challenge was moving fast between building, deploying, and preparing submission assets, but the platform made the final checklist easy to follow.

Tell us about your overall experience at Codex Community Hackathon Pune.

The Codex Community Hackathon Pune was intense, practical, and high-energy. It pushed me to build something real instead of just a concept. I started with a problem from the event itself: attendees meet people randomly and miss follow-ups. By the end, I had a live AI networking assistant with real AI endpoints, a public URL, GitHub repo, logo, pitch deck, and demo video.

What could Codex Community improve to create a better experience for participants?

Codex Community could improve by adding a clearer last-minute submission checklist with examples for video links, screenshots, and required text fields. It would also help to have a few short mentor check-ins near the deadline so participants can quickly validate their pitch, demo flow, and deployment before submitting.
