From July 23 to 25, 2025, TU Darmstadt became a hub for creative web development: At the WebAI Hackathon, six teams developed functional web applications with integrated AI components in just three days. The focus was on a novel framework that enables the integration of AI assistants quickly and intuitively via simple HTML elements.

The teams' results are as diverse as they are impressive: from smart management tools and digital sports coaches to card game and role-playing apps, meme generators, and sound-to-image conversion applications. The solutions developed impressively demonstrate how creatively AI can be used on the web.

Accompanying discussions with the teams offered exciting insights into concepts, technical implementations, and usage scenarios. It became clear how versatile the framework is and what creative potential it opens up.

We are delighted to facilitate this form of practical experimentation and contribute to the further development of innovative approaches in the field of human-AI interaction.

The hackathon was organized by the Marketing and Human Resource Management working group as part of WhiteBox.

The organizing team:

Sven Schultze, Meike Kietzmann and Nils Schönfeld.
