MediAlert AI — Emergency Decision Support Platform

MediAlert AI is an AI-powered emergency decision support platform designed to help users organize health information, assess reported symptoms, identify potentially concerning vital signs, and understand health records through AI-assisted insights. Key Features • AI-Assisted Symptom Assessment: Combines structured symptom matching with AI-powered ranking and explanations to present up to five possible conditions from its supported disease list. Results are preliminary possibilities, not confirmed diagnoses. • Vital-Sign Alerts:Highlights potentially concerning readings using configured thresholds, including temperature above 38°C, pulse above 120 BPM, and SpO₂ below 90%, encouraging timely medical evaluation. • AI Health Summaries: Generates concise summaries of available health records to make relevant information easier to review. • Role-Based Workflows:Supports separate patient and administrator workflows, along with health information management and analytics. AMD AI Integration MediAlert integrates AMD Token Factory with the DeepSeek-V4-Flash model for AI-assisted symptom-result ranking, explanations, and health-record summaries. A Groq-based fallback is configured to support resilience when the primary provider is unavailable. Technology Stack React, Vite, Python, FastAPI, AMD Token Factory, DeepSeek-V4-Flash, and Groq. Impact and Responsible Use MediAlert aims to make health information more accessible, highlight potentially concerning vital signs, and support informed healthcare decisions. It is a decision-support prototype, not a replacement for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. AI outputs may be incomplete or incorrect, and users should consult qualified healthcare professionals for medical concerns. Suspected emergencies require immediate assistance from local emergency services.

VisitBrief

Staff preparing for a visit have to read several short documents and notice what is already recorded, what is missing, and what conflicts. VisitBrief keeps that judgment with the person. It is built for clinical staff, not for a patient looking for advice, and it prepares a draft from an allowlisted fictional chart. The staff member picks one of twenty built-in cases. There is no file upload and no free-form prompt, so the demo cannot accept a real patient record. One to three text PDFs are split into pages and source blocks. DeepSeek-V4-Flash on AMD Token Factory returns candidate facts. Radeon Cloud states that these catalog models run on AMD GPUs. The API keeps a fact only when its quote is inside the block it cites. If the model paraphrases a value, the screen shows the quote instead. Wording that is not in the assigned block is dropped and is not repeated. Duplicates are merged. A date that is not in the quote is cleared, so undated facts stay off the timeline. Two recorded doses of the same medicine are shown side by side and are not reconciled. A sentence that tells the model to ignore instructions or invent a diagnosis is dropped, and the case is flagged. Missing allergy documentation stays a review flag, not a finding of no allergies. The screen counts candidates that were kept, repaired, or dropped, and it labels the result as a draft for clinician review. There is no database. Request logs do not store document text. Held-out cases were not used to change the prompt. One pass on 15 October recalled 27 of 58 curated development facts (46.6 percent) and 34 of 43 held-out facts (79.1 percent).

Culltron CivicOps

The problem. In a South African storm, municipal call centres flood. Reports arrive by phone, WhatsApp, email and walk-ins, and get re-typed, lost or duplicated. Residents never learn what happened, and control rooms cannot show who decided what. What CivicOps does. One front door: residents report by voice, chat, SMS, WhatsApp, web form or Open311 and get a reference number. On the live demo the resident agent is an ElevenLabs conversational agent using short-lived signed sessions. Bounded agents (Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, with a deterministic fallback) extract facts, triage, flag duplicates, recommend an eligible crew and draft resident updates, recording provider, model, confidence and reasoning. Agents cannot approve, assign or send anything: a dispatcher approves and assigns, and a supervisor names the incident commander and decides mutual aid. A live map shows aggregated operations only, with no person tracking. Multiple agencies share one incident and timeline. SOS needs a deliberate 3-second hold and never replaces 10111, 10177 or 112. Every action goes into an append-only SHA-256 hash-chained audit trail verifiable in the browser. Hard spend caps switch the demo to a labelled simulation. Honest scope. The demo uses synthetic data (EXPLICIT DEMO); email goes to an outbox only and field responses are simulated; Afrikaans and isiZulu translations await native review. An AMD Instinct/vLLM open-model path is implemented but was not run on AMD hardware for this event.

Dark Fulcrum Force

Dark Fulcrum Force is our tablekeeper entry for the WeAreDevelopers × BAND Dark Factory hackathon: an autonomous "factory" of six coding agents that turns one operator dispatch into shipped, verified software with no human in the loop afterward. The band has six seats, each with one job and a generic mandate that carries no track-specific details — the specifics live only in the dispatch, so the same mandates work on any project. FORGE plans the work and issues sealed handoff packets; each packet's hash covers the spec, base revision, target seat, and a lease built from handoff and attempt numbers, and every receiving seat verifies the seal before acting. HAMMER and ANVIL implement the same stage independently — one in Python, one in Node, on different models — without seeing each other's code. PROBE runs the supplied tests plus its own probes against each build; CONTRA attacks both adversarially; WARDEN keeps the full evidence trail. In the run that produced this submission, the operator created and bound the seats, then posted one dispatch at 9:15 PM Central — the only human message in the room. Review caught a defect in one build; ANVIL's repaired build passed the checks and became the merged base. The result is tablekeeper, a restaurant reservation service built so a table is never double-booked under concurrency, retries, and time zones. It builds and serves from a clean container with no outbound network and passes all 120 shipped Stage 1 checks. Everything — the factory, the mandates, the room recording, and the code — is in the public repo.

RATCHET — AI Factory That Can’t Move Backwards

RATCHET is an autonomous coding-agent factory built for the Dark Factory hackathon’s Pocketful payments track. It uses four specialized AI seats—Planner, Builder, Breaker, and Steward—to take a software task from specification to a verified, promotable implementation with minimal human intervention. The Planner turns each stage into explicit, falsifiable checks and adversarial test axes. The Builder implements the service and hands off machine-readable evidence. The Breaker operates as a black-box adversary using a different model family and can reject work only when it produces a seeded, replayable counterexample. Once discovered, every counterexample becomes permanent regression protection: it must reproduce at discovery, pass after the fix, and continue passing in every later stage. The Steward controls promotion, stage copy-forward, reverts, and recovery when repeated failures occur. The factory also enforces clean-room execution, network isolation, resource caps, acceptance-test inheritance, mandate linting, traceability, and seat-only Git identities. For Pocketful, the stages cover payments and settlements, wallet and authorization flows, statements and historical balances, then refunds and batch corrections. The result is a software factory designed around one principle: accepted work should never silently become broken work again.

Pocketful by InCarousel

Pocketful is a self-contained wallet application built through a four-seat BAND software factory. People send money by handle, request payments, split bills to the last cent and reserve funds. Four independently buildable stage folders implement the challenge's API, browser recovery, historical corrections and atomic batch changes. Codex owns the interface and independent runtime checks. Tony implements and repairs the backend through Hermes. Saturn analyses requirements and plans work. DeepResearch reviews sources and evidence. BAND records their full-task handoffs; the native dispatcher retains execution authority. These development agents are not dependencies of the shipped application. Final source 4573d5b7 passes fresh-clone isolated published checks in every stage: 147, 182, 188 and 193 inherited checks respectively. Ten independent runtime groups and sixteen custom adversarial groups pass against matching Docker images and served assets. A separate source review verifies the retained bundle, ordinary Git history and bounded local checks. Custom testing caught a defect after the published suite passed: the same retry key treated number 1 and an ordinary object as identical, returning a false replay. We preserved the failure, requested a scoped author repair and reran the unchanged negative probe. The repaired service returns 409 and leaves its entire exported state unchanged. The film shows the actual recorded BAND handoff and completed application results, held for reading. The final factory run elapsed about 2 hours 23 minutes; model spend and human time were not measured. This is a synthetic challenge wallet, not a bank integration. Public tests and custom probes do not guarantee hidden-test results or production financial readiness.
