Excited to be participating in The AI Champion Ship, a global hackathon by
@LiquidMetalAI
For my entry, I'm using LiquidMetal AI’s Raindrop MCP—an innovative platform with powerful building blocks like SmartMemory (persistent chatbot context), SmartBuckets (semantic knowledge/document search), SmartSQL (natural language databases), and scalable serverless compute.
Combined with the
@claudeai Claude Code AI assistant, it enables developers—whether solo founders or teams—to rapidly launch sophisticated, AI-powered products without battling complex setups or losing track of progress.
My project, CivicPulse, is an AI-powered civic engagement platform designed to transform complex Congressional legislation into digestible, personalized audio briefings and interactive dashboards, empowering citizens to stay informed and engaged using
Congress.gov API
So far, this has been a great learning experience. I have created a rule for Claude Code to build a journal for the entire development process, so I can share how I built the entire app with you. Here are some screenshots of what I've built so far, with a functioning backend developed with Raindrop.
