Hack #8: Cursor

Build something you can use without ever touching a keyboard using Cursor and ElevenLabs, then submit a high-quality viral-style video demonstrating what you've built.

Cursor is the AI-first code editor that's changing how developers build software. With powerful AI assistance built directly into your workflow, Cursor helps you write, understand, and refactor code faster than ever before.

ElevenLabs offers state-of-the-art voice AI — text-to-speech, speech-to-text, voice cloning, and conversational AI agents. Combine Cursor's AI coding capabilities with ElevenLabs' voice APIs to build hands-free, voice-controlled experiences.

What we're looking for

We want to see apps and tools that can be fully operated without a keyboard. Think voice-controlled interfaces, speech-driven applications, conversational AI experiences, or accessibility tools that open up computing to everyone.

Some ideas to get you started:

• Voice-controlled productivity tools — apps you can use entirely by speaking
• Conversational AI experiences — natural dialogue-driven interfaces
• Accessibility applications — tools that help people who can't use a keyboard
• Hands-free utilities — useful when your hands are busy (cooking, driving, etc.)

Getting started

Download Cursor and use its AI features to help you build. Integrate ElevenLabs' Speech-to-Text for input and Text-to-Speech for output to create a complete voice-driven experience.
