Alpha AI × SpeakSpace Custom Workflow Hackathon

The Challenge

Transform voice notes into intelligent action. Build workflows that matter.

Grand Prize: ₹10,000 | 7-Day Sprint | Open to High School & Undergraduate Students

Why This Matters

Voice is the future of human-computer interaction, but most voice apps are passive recorders. SpeakSpace is changing that by letting users speak their intent and watch it execute. Your challenge: build the workflow that proves this vision.

Whether you automate legal contracts, publish WordPress content, track health metrics, or solve problems we haven't imagined, this is your chance to ship real code that real users will deploy.

What You're Building

Custom SpeakSpace Actions that appear in the mobile app dashboard. When a user selects your action:

1. They choose a voice note from their library
2. Your pre-configured prompt processes that note
3. SpeakSpace POSTs the data to your API endpoint
4. Your backend executes the workflow (no response required)

Technical Flow

User taps action → Selects note → Your API receives:

{

"prompt": "Your configured instruction + note text",

"note_id": "unique_identifier",

"timestamp": "ISO_8601"

}

→ Your service processes → Returns simple confirmation (optional)

How SpeakSpace Custom Actions Work

Configuration Fields

Title

• Purpose: Action button label
• Example: "Publish to WordPress"

Description

• Purpose: User-facing explanation
• Example: "Converts voice note into formatted blog post"

Prompt Template

• Purpose: Instructions sent to your API
• Example: "Extract key points and format as HTML with H2 headings: $PROMPT"

Notes Selector

• Purpose: Defines which note to process
• Example: Dropdown menu in app

API URL

• Purpose: Your endpoint
• Example: https://yourservice.com/api/process

Authorization

• Purpose: Security method
• Example: Headers or Bearer token

Authorization Options

Option 1: Custom Headers (System apparently handles it by itself)

--header 'x-api-key: your_secret_key_here'

Option 2: Bearer Token

--header 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...'

Response Requirements

Your API should:

• Accept POST requests with prompt parameter
• Perform the workflow action (update DB, trigger automation, etc.)
• Return HTTP 200 with minimal response body
• Handle errors gracefully (return 4xx/5xx with error message)

Simple response example:

{

"status": "success",

"message": "Workflow executed"

}

Do NOT return large payloads or expect SpeakSpace to display complex data.

The Bottom Line

This isn't about building toy demos. We want production-ready workflows that push the boundaries of voice-first AI. If your solution ships and users love it, there's a real possibility of integration into SpeakSpace's core product.

Think big. Ship fast. Make voice matter.
