Build Your Flutter Butler with Serverpod - Hackathon winners announcement

When you combine Flutter’s expressive front end, Serverpod’s Dart-native backend, and a global community of ambitious builders, something special happens.

This article is also available as a video, if you prefer to watch rather than read.

Over the past two months, developers from around the world joined us to celebrate the release of Serverpod 3 by building their own digital assistants and automation tools. The challenge was simple: create a “Flutter Butler”, an AI helper, productivity companion, or creative automation, powered by Flutter and Serverpod.

The results exceeded every expectation.

For those new to Serverpod, it is an open-source, Dart-native backend framework designed to make building scalable, production-ready backends for Flutter fast, structured, and enjoyable. It is built to feel like a natural extension of Flutter on the server. With Serverpod 3 and Serverpod Cloud, developers can build and deploy full-stack Dart applications with unprecedented ease. This hackathon was about exploring that power and pushing it.

Before we dive into the winners, we want to thank every participant who took part. Whether you shipped a polished product or an ambitious prototype, you contributed to the momentum of the Flutter and Serverpod ecosystem.

A special thank you also goes to our judges for their time, thoughtful evaluations, and careful review of every submission. It was not an easy task.

Now, let’s celebrate the winners.

Most Valuable Feedback Award

While this hackathon was about building, it was also about learning and improving.

The Most Valuable Feedback Award, receiving $500 in cash and $500 in Serverpod Cloud credits, goes to Karol Sotomski for SymptomScribe.

Karol provided detailed and constructive feedback on both Serverpod and Serverpod Cloud. His insights covered infrastructure transparency, database scaling challenges, WebSocket behavior, and GDPR-related concerns. Thoughtful feedback like this strengthens the entire ecosystem. It helps us refine the framework, improve the cloud experience, and better serve developers building real-world applications.

Thank you, Karol, for helping shape the future of Serverpod.

5th Place: Azad

Prize: $1,500 in Serverpod Cloud credits
Creator: Anunay Kumar

Azad is a riding butler designed for solo motorcycle riders and group adventures. It automatically detects rides, tracks routes with GPS precision, logs ride statistics, and seamlessly integrates navigation. Where it truly stands out is in its group functionality.

Using Serverpod’s real-time capabilities and WebSockets, Azad enables live location sharing, captain controls, emergency alerts, and instant coordination between riders. It transforms a simple ride into a connected and collaborative experience. A strong demonstration of real-time backend power in action.

4th Place: Snipper

Prize: $500 in cash and $1,500 in Serverpod Cloud credits
Creator: Michi Yamamoto

Snipper is a content butler built for comedians. Comedians often spend hours manually editing stand-up footage to create short-form social media clips. Snipper automates that entire process.

Upload raw footage, and Snipper uses AI to detect setup-punchline structures, audience laughter, and high-impact moments. It scores clips for viral potential, reframes horizontal footage into vertical formats, generates dynamic captions, and delivers social-ready clips. Snipper turns tedious editing work into an intelligent, automated workflow powered by Flutter and Serverpod.

3rd Place: Codi

Prize: $1,000 in cash and $1,500 in Serverpod Cloud credits
Creator: Samuel Philip

Codi transforms a smartphone into a full-stack builder and web automation agent. Built with mobile-first users in mind, Codi allows anyone to chat their way into creating full-stack applications, from database schema to deployed frontend, directly from their phone.

Beyond app generation, Codi acts as a browser automation agent. It can log into portals, fill out forms, scrape data, and perform complex web tasks. The heavy lifting runs on a Serverpod-powered backend, while the experience is streamed seamlessly to the user’s device. Codi reimagines who gets to build software and removes the dependency on traditional desktop development environments.

2nd Place: Blood Health Tracker

Prize: $3,000 in cash and $2,000 in Serverpod Cloud credits
Creator: Abishek Muthian

Blood Health Tracker was born from personal experience and a desire to better understand complex medical data. The application allows users to upload blood test reports, analyze correlations between health parameters and medications, detect abnormalities, and generate AI-powered insights.

It includes PDF uploads, historical trend tracking, AI-generated doctor questions, asynchronous job processing, and support for user-provided API keys. This project demonstrates how Flutter and Serverpod can power meaningful, deeply personal technology that turns raw data into clarity.

1st Place: Naggy

Prize: $5,000 in cash and $2,500 in Serverpod Cloud credits
Creator: Connie Li

Naggy is an AI accountability partner that goes beyond passive reminders. Instead of sending notifications that can be ignored, Naggy calls you. Users create tasks through natural conversation. At the scheduled time, Naggy places a real phone call. You can snooze, reschedule, or mark tasks as complete through voice interaction.

For deeper focus sessions, Naggy offers “Body Doubling,” staying on a call while you work to help maintain attention and structure. The experience includes customizable personality modes and positive reinforcement designed to support real human behavior. Naggy is a powerful example of what a true digital butler can be: proactive, supportive, and built around how people actually function.

Looking Ahead

The creativity, technical depth, and thoughtfulness demonstrated in this hackathon have been remarkable. You experimented. You shipped. You explored the frontier of Flutter and Serverpod.

Serverpod 3 is only the beginning. We are excited to continue building alongside this community and to see how these projects evolve beyond the hackathon.

Thank you to everyone who participated, supported, and helped make this event possible. We cannot wait to see what you build next.
