HahaNotes turns developer burnout into AI comedy podcasts and videos

Short summary

HahaNotes is a hackathon project that turns developer frustrations into AI-generated comedy podcasts and short videos featuring two contrasting AI hosts. Built with Next.js, FastAPI, Google Gemini for script generation, and ElevenLabs for voice synthesis, it produces shareable vertical videos with karaoke captions. The project demonstrates creative orchestration of multiple generative AI APIs in a media pipeline.
