B2Brouter talent stands out in London: two developers win a European AI hackathon
Last updated: 3 de August de 2026
One week to learn, three hours to build, and a solution that stood out among 35 European teams. This was the experience of Nikita and Thomas, two B2Brouter developers who travelled to London to take part in an artificial intelligence training programme.
The initiative, organised by team.blue and Hg, combined learning about cutting-edge technologies and methodologies with their application to real-world projects.
On the final day, the participants took part in a hackathon in which they had just three hours to develop a completely new proposal related to the concepts covered during the course. The project presented by the B2Brouter team was selected as the winner.

Learning new ways to develop software
The programme was an extremely enriching experience. It allowed them to explore cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, apply them to real-world projects, and see how quickly they could incorporate them into their way of working.
“Within a short time, we were able to put these concepts into practice and feel comfortable working with a new methodology.”
The experience also gave them the opportunity to meet professionals from different countries, exchange ideas, and discover how other teams approach their technical challenges.
“Understanding how different teams and developers across Europe work and solve problems is very enriching. It allows you to see things from different perspectives.”
A race against the clock
The hackathon brought the training week to a close with an especially intense challenge: designing and developing a functional solution in just three hours.
The team had already started considering a possible idea during the previous days. Their experience with this type of event helped them make a quick decision and begin working without spending too much time looking for the perfect proposal.
“It is very common to fall into the trap of trying to find the ideal idea and spending more time brainstorming than developing. At this type of event, every second you save can make a difference.”
The first step was to analyse the specifications and select a specific set of features. They needed to build a minimum viable product that was solid enough to demonstrate the proposal’s potential, but also focused enough to be developed within the available time.
They then divided the tasks so that they could work in parallel as efficiently as possible, identifying which areas required their expertise and which could be delegated or automated.
“It was also essential to identify where we could add value as a team and delegate or automate anything mechanical or less relevant.”
A tool that investigates application errors
B2Brouter uses a system called Sentry to monitor errors occurring within the application. The tool created during the hackathon checks this system and identifies the most recurring incidents.
From there, an agent analyses the possible cause of the error within the code, attempts to reproduce it, and proposes a solution for a developer to review and validate. The entire process is recorded in B2Brouter’s project management system.
What does the solution do?
- Detects the most recurring errors.
- Analyses their possible cause within the code.
- Attempts to reproduce the incident.
- Proposes a possible solution.
- Records the information so the team can review it.
With a number of improvements, which the team is already working on, the proof of concept could become an automated tool capable of analysing the most common errors and proposing possible corrections.
The aim is not to remove human supervision. A developer would continue to review the result, verify that it is correct, and decide whether the proposed correction should be applied. The main difference would be the amount of time spent on the initial investigation of each incident.
“A problem that might take days to find a solution could be resolved in hours or even minutes.”
A solid and functional proof of concept
The hackathon was a short and intense experience. After a week of learning, the team was ready to apply the techniques and tools covered during the course. All that remained was to define the project correctly and turn it into a functional solution.
“Within a few hours, by applying the right techniques and tools, we managed to create a sufficiently solid proof of concept.”
The standard of the proposals presented was very high, and the result was extremely close. One of the factors that allowed the B2Brouter project to stand out was having a fully functional prototype and clearly demonstrating the impact it could have on the team’s day-to-day work.
Adapting to keep moving forward
Beyond the victory, the experience reflects the importance of continuing to learn and adapt within a field that is constantly evolving.
“The software development process is changing at a frantic pace. Advances in artificial intelligence mean that we are experiencing constant changes and improvements.”
The ability to react quickly to these changes will be essential to keep moving forward. This victory highlights the technological talent within B2Brouter: professionals capable of learning new methodologies, collaborating, working under pressure, and transforming an idea into a functional solution with real impact.
Congratulations, Nikita and Thomas!
