Having use cases meant that it was so much easier to split work up, and get our heads down, with everyone having something to actively work on. It also meant we had a structured approach, making the experience so much more fulfilling. I was delighted by the creativity and range of approaches that the different teams took when it came to presenting at the end of the two days. We ranged from teams that had taken a thin slice approach to all three usecases, to teams that had gone really in depth in just one of them, to teams that had taken use case number 3 and made it into a tool that could be used by the websites team to improve the websites on the backend, removing conflict and duplication. +The aim was to develop generative AI solutions for website services, who could adapt and improve them for their own use cases.

Overall, I was left in awe by the creativity and technical skills of our team, as well as of all the other attendees. Hopefully the work gets used in the future by the websites team, and I hope that any hackathons I attend in the future are of this high quality! (Of course it did help that my team won)
