SmartOnboard is an AI-powered codebase onboarding accelerator built for the IBM Bob Hackathon. New developers often spend 2-4 weeks understanding a new repository before they can confidently contribute. SmartOnboard reduces that ramp-up by turning a public GitHub repository URL into a structured, role-specific onboarding guide in minutes. The app scans a real repository, detects languages, package managers, entry points, configuration files, test files, key source files, setup commands, and risk areas. It then generates a practical onboarding dashboard with Overview, Architecture, Setup, Key Files, Workflow, and First Steps sections. The Architecture tab includes a Mermaid diagram generated from the real repository structure, and the Q&A panel lets users ask context-aware questions like “What should I read first?” IBM Bob was used as the development partner for planning, implementation, debugging, UI iteration, and documentation. The repo includes exported Bob session reports, Bob usage screenshots, a reusable Bob custom mode, and a Bob skill definition. IBM watsonx.ai refines the generated guide into clear role-specific onboarding content, while a watsonx Orchestrate agent called New Dev Onboarding Coordinator routes new developers into the SmartOnboard workflow. SmartOnboard helps engineers, managers, and architects move from unfamiliar codebase to useful contribution faster.

CareRoute is a clinical workflow assistant built for the Agentic Economy on Arc. Instead of treating healthcare intake like a flat-fee SaaS workflow, CareRoute prices each reasoning step independently and settles those steps onchain in sub-cent USDC amounts. A user connects a wallet on Arc Testnet, funds a small case budget, and submits symptom intake. An orchestrator agent summarizes the case and routes it only to the specialist agents that are actually needed. Cardiology, neurology, respiratory, and general review agents return structured findings, while a verifier agent aggregates the outputs into a final workflow-ready report with risk flags and urgency. CareRoute is intentionally framed as a clinical intake and routing assistant, not diagnosis software. That makes the product safer and clearer. The demo shows how a real user-funded case budget is consumed step by step by specialist agents instead of forcing a subscription or flat platform fee for a short-lived workflow. Users pay only for the compute and specialist review actually used on a case. This fits the hackathon especially well because the workflow is only viable when payments can happen at very small denominations and high frequency. A case may involve intake summarization, one or more specialist reviews, and a verifier pass, each priced below one cent. Arc makes that model credible with fast, stablecoin-native settlement. In the live product, users can see the funding transaction, downstream specialist payouts, and the final structured output in one dashboard. CareRoute uses Next.js, wagmi, RainbowKit, viem, Arc Testnet, USDC, and AI/ML API.
