Handsfree Forms
Fills out long government forms by voice for a user with limited hand mobility. Built for Say It Back — build a voice interface for someone who cannot comfortably use a screen. Voice-driven form navigation and confirmation-before-submit. The interface is deliberately narrow: one path, done properly, rather than a broad surface that half-works at the deadline.

On the clock
What shipped, what didn't
Completed in time
Voice-driven form navigation and confirmation-before-submit.
Unfinished / faked
Works on one form schema; generalization untested.
Obstacles
Rate limits hit at minute 20 and forced a caching layer I hadn't planned for.
Lessons learned
Writing the submission summary first would have caught the scope problem earlier.
Process
Prompting approach
Started from a single system prompt describing the user and their constraint, then iterated with the assistant on the Handsfree Forms data model before writing any interface code. Full prompt log is in the repository under /prompts.
Fairness
Disclosures
Declared by the builder at submission time, visible to judges before scoring.
Reused a personal utility file for date formatting (~40 lines), linked in the repo README.
Started from the official framework starter template, unmodified.
Judging
Public feedback
Judges' private notes stay private — this is what they chose to say publicly.
Hana Kobayashi
Principal Research Engineer, Independent
Solid build with a clear user in mind. The interface is doing less than it could — a second pass on hierarchy would lift this considerably.
Ravi Anand
Head of Design, Tessellate
Nice work under the clock. The unfinished list is longer than the finished one, but what shipped works and you were straight about it.
Tomas Eriksen
Developer Advocate, Independent
Good instinct on the problem. I would have liked to see the model doing more of the reasoning rather than formatting output.
