### Overview

🧠 Pregame Club The Event Before the Event — built for the AI Hackathon @ Berkeley 🚀 Why We Built It At most hackathons, meeting the right people is pure luck. You scroll through Discord intros or wander the venue hoping for a match. What if an AI agent could do that before you even show up? Pregame Club was built to make networking intentional, not accidental — helping hackers meet collaborators, mentors, or investors before the first line of code. 💡 What It Does 🔎 Smart Search: Ask for who you want — “co-founder with LLM experience” or “someone working on agent infra.” The AI finds matches. 🤖 AI Intros: Agents connect you to relevant hackers based on your goal. 🧠 Profile Optimization: AI reviews and enhances your networking profile for discoverability. 📸 Live Event Gallery: Share, comment, and engage with what’s happening — before, during, and after the hackathon. 🧑‍💻 Already Live at This Hackathon 200+ hackers joined 20+ gallery posts and comments Real AI-powered intros happening before teams even meet IRL 🛠️ How We Built It Frontend: Started with V0 (AI code generation), built on Next.js 14, React, Tailwind, and ShadCN UI Backend: Fully Firebase — Firestore (real-time), Auth, and Storage AI Layer: Powered by Google Genkit with custom prompt flows for matching, suggestions, and profile help Deployment: Firebase Hosting ⚙️ What We Learned Hackers don’t have time for fluff. One prompt, three intros, done. Prompt design matters. Genkit required precise flows to return structured, reliable matches. Real-time sync at scale is 🔑 for energy at live events. 🔮 What’s Next 📱 Launch mobile-first experience 🧠 Smarter agent-to-agent conversation 📊 Dashboard for hackathon organizers to view top connections 🛠 Plug-and-play SDK for other hackathons + conferences
