Consulting

AI Hackathon for in‑house HR teams.

A facilitated, one‑day AI hackathon we run with your HR team. Loads of vibe‑coding, real outputs, and, if you want it, a pathway for Pyn to productise the winning idea into something you can actually deploy.

Who it’s for

CPOs who want their team to build, not just attend another AI talk.

You bring an HR team that’s curious and willing to build. We bring the facilitators, the playground, the structure, and the AI expertise. Your team leaves fluent in what AI can do for them — and with prototypes that solve real problems in your org.

How the day runs

Structured, but not corporate.

Six steps from kickoff to winner, with facilitation woven through. Optional seventh: we productise the winning prototype after the day.

01

Intro

Pyn kicks off: what AI is good at in HR, where teams get stuck, what “done” looks like.

02

Teams ideate

Split into small teams. Surface the real HR problems people actually want to solve.

03

Build

Start vibe‑coding in a playground set up to mirror your HR tech stack — not a toy environment.

04

Facilitation throughout

Ping your Pyn facilitators for advice all day. We unblock, help with tech, and guide you!

05

Presentations

Each team demos what they built. 3 minutes, no slides, live product.

06

Voting + winner

The room votes. The winning idea gets a pathway to production.

07

We can help you roll out your prototype

Optional

We can harden and productise your idea so it’s ready for your company to use! (see below)

Optional · after the day

From vibe‑code to production.

Most hackathons end on Friday and are forgotten by Monday. Ours doesn’t have to. If the winning prototype is a fit, Pyn can productise it — proper security, permissions, SSO, and integrations into your HR stack — so your team actually uses it.

01

Security review.

A full security pass on the winning prototype — threat model, data handling, audit logging.

02

SSO + permissions.

Wired into your identity provider with the right role‑based access controls for your HR org.

03

HR stack integrations.

Hooked into your HRIS, ATS, ticketing, comms — whichever systems the prototype needs to be useful.

04

Monitoring + support.

Quality monitoring, on‑call support, and a roadmap for the prototype’s first 90 days in production.

Facilitated by
