AI-Powered Code Assessment Generator
First Multi-Agent System Using A2A Protocol on Vertex AI
What It Does: ActualCode transforms any GitHub repository into realistic, implementable coding challenges in under 3 minutes using 7 collaborative AI agents.
Why It Matters:
- Traditional platforms (LeetCode, HackerRank) test generic algorithms irrelevant to actual work
- Hiring teams waste hours manually creating repository-specific assessments
- Candidates who ace LeetCode still struggle with real codebases
- ActualCode solves this: Generate repository-specific, production-ready assessments automatically
The Innovation: First hackathon project implementing Google's A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol with 7 specialized agents collaborating through structured inter-agent communication.
