Follow these steps to set up your environment. Checkboxes are optional - just for tracking your progress.
Step 1: Claim Your Coding Agent
To get started, you need to register and claim your AI coding agent. This will give you access to AI-powered code assistance.
1. Go to the registration page: https://claim-coding-agent.vercel.app/register
2. Sign in with your GitHub account
3. Complete the registration form
4. Wait maximum 24 hours before an admin assigns you your secret key
5. Find your key at: https://claim-coding-agent.vercel.app/mykeys
⚠️ Important: Make sure to use the same email address as registered in the hackathon!
Step 2: Get Your API Key
After registration, you'll receive an API key that lets you use the coding agent. This key has a limited budget of prompts.
1. Go to: https://claim-coding-agent.vercel.app/mykeys
2. Sign in with the same GitHub account
3. Copy your RUNANYWHEREAI_KEY (looks like: sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxx)
4. Save this key - you'll need it in the next step
💡 Tip: You have limited prompts, so use them wisely! Choose the right model for your task:
• Claude Sonnet 4.5: ~50-80 prompts (use for complex tasks, reasoning, code generation)
• Claude Haiku 4: ~200-300 prompts (use for simple tasks, quick questions, testing)

Select your tech stack to see run instructionsStep 8: Give Documentation to Your Coding Agent
Start your coding agent and give it the RunAnywhere documentation:
1. Open your terminal in the project folder
2. Run: opencode
3. When the agent starts, paste this message:
"I'm building a mobile app using RunAnywhere SDK. Please refer to https://docs.runanywhere.ai/ for all RunAnywhere API documentation. Tell me your tech stack. The starter app already has RunAnywhere SDK integrated. Help me implement features using the on-device LLM, STT, TTS, and VAD capabilities."
4. Now ask the agent to help you implement your idea!
Available RunAnywhere SDK features:
• LLM: On-device AI text generation
• STT: Speech-to-Text conversion
• TTS: Text-to-Speech synthesis
• VAD: Voice Activity Detection
✅ Your agent now knows about RunAnywhere SDK and can help you implement features using the documentation.
