FAQs

Anyone with a passion for building! Whether you're a developer, designer, product manager, or just someone with great ideas - you're welcome here. Teams of 1-3 people are encouraged, but solo participants are also accepted.

- First, your team has to attend the shortlisting tasks - Top teams from shortlisting tasks are waitlisted - Best teams from the Waitlisted groups are selected for attending Hacker House Goa in-person.

Bring your laptop, charger, any hardware you might need for your project, and your creative energy. We'll provide workspace, power outlets, WiFi, meals, and caffeine to keep you going.

No! Participation in Hacker House Goa is completely free. We'll provide accommodation, meals, and all amenities during the 4-day event. You just need to get yourself to Goa!

You can come with a pre-formed team or find teammates during our team formation session on Day 1. We'll have networking activities and a team matching board to help you find the perfect collaborators.

You can brainstorm and plan, but all code must be written during the hackathon. Using existing libraries, APIs, and frameworks is encouraged - just don't bring pre-built solutions.

Less Noise. More Signal

Most hackathons are just hype and no substance. We're changing that. From October 28–31, we're taking over Goa for the country's biggest build-station.

This is for the developers who live in their terminals and ship things that matter. No fluff, no useless networking—just 500 elite builders, high-speed fiber, and the ocean at your doorstep. If you're ready to lock in and build your legacy, we'll see you on the sand.

  • Works on any photo — no manual cropping
  • Personalized: name, stack, a generated builder class
  • Seconds from upload to shareable output
  • Get to the top of the ladder and win the exclusive HH Goa ID
  • Don't forget #FrameInGoa on every post

Task #2

Voice-Enabled RAG Model

Speak a question, get a grounded answer. Build a full voice-to-answer RAG pipeline — transcription, engineered chunking, vector retrieval, and generation — wired together end to end, fast and guardrailed.

  • Speak the question — real voice-to-text input, not typed
  • Retrieval that's actually engineered — multiple chunking strategies, not one naive split
  • Blazing-fast — full pipeline under 200ms
  • P50 / P70 / P100 latency, benchmarked across real queries, not a lucky run
  • Runs inside a real harness — retries, structured I/O, error recovery
  • Guardrails that know when *not* to answer
  • Don't forget #RAGInGoa on every post
