CIC × AWS GenAI Hackathon · 2024 · solo weekend build
LinkedInOut
type something painfully ordinary like “I opened my eyes today.” get back a catastrophically over-engineered, AI-generated humble-brag post drenched in corporate jargon. built on AWS in under 24 hours.
the product
type boring. get cursed.
a single input. one button. a linkedin post you'd be embarrassed to publish — and yet, thousands of people would.
how it works
a two-lambda pipeline. no servers.
S3 for storage, Lambda for compute, Bedrock for inference. IAM keeps everything scoped. CloudWatch catches everything that shouldn't happen.

what we built
satire-tuned UX
the interface is intentionally minimal: you type something boring, press one button, and get a catastrophically over-celebratory post.
bedrock-powered tone
prompts are engineered to maximize buzzwords, inspirational framing, and faux vulnerability while staying just barely plausible.
serverless architecture
S3 for storage, Lambda for compute, Bedrock for inference. no servers to patch, no bills when nobody is generating slop.
secure by default
IAM roles keep Bedrock, Lambda, and S3 tightly scoped. CloudWatch tracks every post generated. compliance-adjacent.
streamlit frontend
we used Streamlit for rapid iteration at the hackathon — single-page app, instant reloads, zero frontend setup time.
corporate doomscrolling
endless scrolling full of AI slop as a parody of what a lot of today's LinkedIn has actually become. uncomfortable? good.
team
four linkedin users who built a tool to roast themselves.
