PodMan: Pair Programmer ❤️

AI Engineer World's Fair Hackathon 2026

https://www.podman.live/ PodMan is the pair programmer for your AI-native dev. team. Writing code got cheap; knowing who's writing what didn't. With humans-plus-AI (and soon swarms of agents) all hitting one repo, the bottleneck shifted from engineering to coordination and no human can track it. PodMan joins your pod over LiveKit, watches every teammate's screen with Gemini Vision, fuses it with local git changes GitHub can't see, and the instant two people touch the same file it alerts everyone has€” a live card plus an on-device Gemma reasoning through Hermes agent before the conflict lands. Then it learns: every team decision, code quality style saved as trace in MongoDB Atlas, vector search recalls past collisions, and a self-tuning(learning) policy nudges less and escalates smarter over time with no retraining, no babysitting. It's not a coding assistant; a coordination layer that improves itself, built for the agent-swarm era. Real-time multimodal awareness, on-device voice, continual learning with€” zero interruptions.
