FreelanceIQ is an interactive simulation platform designed to help students and early-career professionals practice real-world communication skills before entering the job market. Users choose between Freelancer Mode — where they respond to AI-generated client project briefs — or Manager Mode, where they navigate workplace dynamics with an AI manager. Each session is fully customizable: choose a technical or non-technical client, and set the difficulty from Easy to Nightmare, where the AI client becomes vague, demanding, and unpredictable — just like real clients can be. Powered by Google Gemini AI and built on a React + FastAPI stack, FreelanceIQ generates unique project scenarios every session, evaluates user responses across four dimensions — technical understanding, communication skills, completeness, and timeliness — and delivers a scored performance report with actionable feedback. Unlike traditional learning platforms that focus only on hard skills, FreelanceIQ trains the soft skills that actually get you hired and keep clients happy.

In this hybrid hackathon powered by Arc and Circle, developers will build the next generation of Agentic economic applications using Circle’s Nanopayments infrastructure with settlement on Arc in USDC. For the first time, high-frequency, usage-based transactions between users, APIs, and AI agents can operate without gas overhead eroding margin. Arc provides stablecoin-native settlement with predictable, dollar-denominated USDC fees and deterministic, sub-second finality — enabling real-time coordination and economically viable per-action pricing at scale. 📅 April 20 – 26, 2026 • Apr 20 – 25 (Online): Submit projects by Apr 25. • Apr 25 (On-site Build – SF, CA): Teams refine projects. • Apr 26 (On-site Demos & Awards – SF, CA): Live pitches & winners announced.
