The wait is over! We are excited to announce the winners of the Real-Time AI Agents Challenge powered by n8n and Bright Data.
From bug hunters to job finders to startup funding monitors and beyond, the community truly showcased just how versatile the n8n and Bright Data combination can be when it comes to creative automation solutions. We were blown away by the diversity of problems that were tackled, and loved reviewing all the submissions that came our way.
We hope you enjoyed building with n8n and Bright Data, and are proud of what you accomplished, regardless of whether or not you take home the prize.
Without further ado, our five winners.
Congratulations To…
SOC-CERT: Automated Threat Intelligence System
@joupify built a production-ready cybersecurity monitoring solution that processes 100+ CVEs daily with 99.8% uptime.
This threat intelligence system combines government sources (CISA), community data (OTX), and AI-powered scoring to deliver real-time security alerts across Slack, Gmail, and Google Sheets.
BrandGuard AI: Multi-Agent Brand Monitoring System
@prema_ananda created a comprehensive brand reputation monitoring platform that transforms how companies track online mentions.
This multi-agent intelligent system automatically collects brand mentions from major social platforms, analyzes sentiment and business impact, and delivers insights through both a web dashboard and conversational Slack bot.
Event Butler: AI-Powered Event Discovery
@varshithvhegde built an AI assistant that discovers tech events before you even know they exist.
This delightful “Event Butler” wakes up daily to scrape Eventbrite, curates events using Google Gemini AI, and delivers engaging Morning Brew-style newsletters straight to your inbox.
Release & Deprecation Sentinel: Autonomous SRE Copilot
@mohankrishnaalavala addressed a critical pain point for DevOps teams with an autonomous monitoring agent that tracks release notes and deprecation notices from 18+ vendors including Kubernetes, Docker, and HashiCorp.
With automated fetching every 6 hours and Bright Data ensuring reliable scraping, this SRE copilot transforms vendor chaos into structured insights.
Pixie: Voice-Driven Website Builder
@sanarahman built an end-to-end voice-driven pipeline that turns spoken requirements into live website prototypes.
Simply speak your design ideas, and Pixie scrapes the target site with Bright Data, generates a Product Requirements Document using AI, and automatically creates a working prototype on Lovable.dev.
Our five winners will each receive $1,000 USD, a DEV++ Membership, and an exclusive DEV badge. All participants with valid submissions will receive a completion badge on their DEV profile!
