This fall, a company went on an offsite to Ericeira, Portugal, where they organized an internal hackathon with around 30 employees. They were impressed by the results and wanted to share some of their favorite projects that used Modal in creative ways. The teams built various applications, including an AI agent app called Browserman, which navigated the internet to complete tasks, a real-time translation app called Glodal, and a workflow orchestrator called Waluigi. Another team developed a pytest plugin that parallelized test suites on Modal, shortening runtime from minutes to seconds. The hackathon showcased the potential of Modal to turbocharge developer productivity across diverse use cases in AI, arts, and software development.
