Building an AI Sales Intelligence Platform in Just 12 Hours at Hack Aarambh 2026



 # Building an AI Sales Intelligence Platform in Just 12 Hours at Hack Aarambh 2026

Turning sales conversations into actionable business insights using AI.

Yesterday, my team and I participated in Hack Aarambh 2026 at Swarnim Startup & Innovation University (SSIU).

Like every hackathon, the challenge wasn't just writing codeโ€”it was identifying a real-world problem, designing a practical solution, and delivering a working prototype within 12 hours.

Instead of building another chatbot or productivity tool, we wanted to solve a problem faced by almost every sales-driven organization.


The Problem

Every day, sales teams spend hours talking to potential customers.

These conversations contain valuable information such as:

  • Customer pain points
  • Buying intent
  • Competitor mentions
  • Product feedback
  • Common objections
  • Feature requests

Unfortunately, most of this information remains buried inside meeting recordings or handwritten notes.

Managers rarely have time to review every conversation, which means valuable business insights are often lost.

That became our motivation.


Introducing AI Sales Intelligence Platform

Our project is an AI-powered platform that automatically analyzes sales conversations and transforms them into actionable insights for both sales representatives and business leaders.

Instead of manually reviewing calls, users receive:

  • AI-generated summaries
  • Customer intelligence
  • Actionable recommendations
  • Performance analytics
  • Business insights

...all within seconds.


What We Built

AI Call Transcription & Summarization

The platform automatically converts conversations into readable transcripts and concise summaries.

Customer Intelligence

The platform identifies:

  • Customer sentiment
  • Buying intent
  • Objections
  • Competitor mentions
  • Important discussion topics

This helps sales teams focus on what actually matters.

AI Generated Follow-ups

Writing follow-up emails after every meeting is repetitive.

Our platform automatically generates personalized follow-up emails based on each conversation.

Product Intelligence

Customer conversations contain valuable product feedback.

The platform extracts:

  • Frequently requested features
  • Customer complaints
  • Recurring pain points

This information helps product teams prioritize future improvements.

Sales Performance Analytics

Managers can monitor sales representative performance through AI-generated insights instead of relying solely on manual reviews.

Interactive Dashboard

Everything is presented through a centralized dashboard where managers can quickly understand:

  • Customer trends
  • Sales performance
  • Product feedback
  • AI-generated insights

Tech Stack

Layer Technologies
Frontend React, Tailwind CSS
Backend Node.js, Express.js
Database MongoDB
AI Python, LLM APIs, Speech-to-Text APIs

Challenges We Faced

Building features wasn't the hardest part.

Building the right features in just 12 hours was.

Some of our biggest challenges included:

  • Prioritizing the MVP
  • Integrating multiple AI services
  • Connecting the frontend and backend
  • Handling API response times
  • Preparing a stable demo before the final presentation

Time management became just as important as technical skills.


What We Learned

This hackathon reinforced several important lessons:

  • Build the MVP first.
  • Don't over-engineer.
  • Communication is as important as coding.
  • Shipping a working product is better than chasing perfection.
  • AI creates the most value when it solves real business problems.

Meet Team Dream Builders

This project wouldn't have been possible without an amazing team.

  • Jatin Rajvani
  • Prem Kambaliya
  • Mohil Mundke

Acknowledgements

A heartfelt thanks to our mentors:

  • Patel Neel Maheshkumar
  • Vikas Kumar
  • Kshatriya Samir Singh

Their guidance helped us stay focused and improve our solution throughout the hackathon.


What's Next?

Although the hackathon has ended, this project hasn't.

We plan to continue improving the platform by adding:

  • CRM integrations
  • Multi-language conversation analysis
  • Real-time meeting intelligence
  • Better analytics and reporting
  • Improved AI recommendations
  • Enterprise-ready deployment

Final Thoughts

Hack Aarambh wasn't just about building software.

It was about solving a meaningful problem, collaborating under pressure, and learning from an incredible community of builders.

In just 12 hours, we transformed an idea into a working AI-powered platform.

This is only the beginning. We're excited to continue improving the platform and would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or feedback in the comments.

Thanks for reading!
