48 hours. Zero setup.
Every hour spent configuring tools is an hour not building. Spin up a workspace in minutes: a board for the sprint, chat for the team, docs for the pitch — and AI agents as extra teammates.
The whole weekend on one screen — who's on what, and what's left before demo.
Sound familiar?
The way it usually goes
No time to set up tools
You have 48 hours. Nobody wants to spend the first two configuring a project tracker, arguing about labels, and inviting people to five apps.
Coordination chaos at 2am
Two people build the same feature, nobody built the demo data, and the person with the pitch deck went to sleep without pushing it anywhere.
You're short one teammate
There's always more to build than hands to build it. The teams that win are already treating AI agents as the extra teammate.
How Collabicle fits
One workspace, shaped for hackathon teams
A board in 60 seconds
Dump the plan into a Kanban board with assignees and priorities. Everyone sees who's on what — no duplicate work at 2am.
Agents as extra teammates
Point Claude at your workspace over MCP: it reads the plan, picks up tasks, drafts the pitch, and updates the board while you build.
One war-room channel
Chat with threads and @-mentions that link straight to tasks and docs — decisions stay attached to the work they're about.
The pitch, ready before you are
Keep the idea one-pager, judging criteria, and demo script in shared docs — so the 9am pitch isn't a 8:40am scramble.
Open on the dashboard, trigger the live agent, end on the metrics screen.▍
Getting started
Up and running in an afternoon
Create the workspace Friday night
One person signs up free, invites the team, and drops the idea into a doc — five minutes, done.
Break it down on the board
Turn the plan into tasks with owners. The board is the single answer to “what should I pick up?”
Connect an agent and go
Hook up Claude over MCP and hand it the pitch, the docs, and the busywork while humans build.
Questions hackathon teams ask
Is Collabicle free for a hackathon team?
Yes — the free plan covers a full team for a weekend build: board, chat, docs, tables, and the MCP server are all included, no credit card required.
How fast can we actually get started?
Minutes. Create a workspace, invite teammates by email, and start adding tasks. There's nothing to configure before it's useful.
What would an AI agent do for us during the hackathon?
Treat it like a teammate: it can draft your pitch and demo script in docs, break the idea into board tasks, keep statuses updated, and summarize progress — while the humans write code.
