This is a submission for the MLH x DEV Writing Challenge
What We Built
We Built FlashCrowd! When news breaks, millions open the same page at once. We see the crowd coming hours early, then decide how many servers to start, and where.

Partner Technologies
We used three MLH partner technologies in FLASHCROWD: ElevenLabs, Google Gemini API, and Snowflake Cortex.
Each partner technology supports a different part of the product: human interaction, intelligent explanation, and data/forecasting infrastructure.
Hackathon Experience
We attended OxHack'26. We started as a group of three and found our fourth teammate on the way to the event, which made the experience even more memorable.
The atmosphere was energetic, welcoming, and highly collaborative. We met lot of builders, exchanged ideas, and learned from people with different technical backgrounds. What we will remember most is the entire experience: the people we met, the time that passed while building together, and the knowledge we gained throughout the event.
