Replace free-text name/pod inputs with select-only dropdowns (pick a team, then yourself from its members) for fast R&D iteration. Demo teams live in lib/teams.ts until pods are persisted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
🛰️ PodMan — Jarvis for engineering teams
Ambient AI teammate for the 2026 AI Engineer World's Fair Hackathon (track: Continual Learning).
Engineers join a pod and share their screen + mic. PodMan watches every screen in
realtime, understands what each person is working on, fuses that with the team's
GitHub state, and proactively prevents collisions before code is even pushed —
speaking up like Jarvis: "Karti and Yahya are both editing auth.ts, Yahya has unpushed
changes — here's the diff, want a sync PR?"
The moat: unpushed local code is invisible to the GitHub API. The realtime screen-vision layer is the only way to catch a collision before the push. That is the whole product — and the reason this is an ambient agent, not a dashboard.
