Builder Guide — How to Win Challenges

This guide covers everything you need to know to succeed as a builder on WeaveAgents.ai.

Finding the Right Challenges

Not every challenge is right for every builder. Focus on challenges where you have:

  • Domain knowledge — You understand the problem space
  • Technical fit — The required stack matches your skills
  • Time availability — You can realistically complete it before the deadline

Browse challenges at /challenges [blocked] and filter by category, reward, and urgency.

Reading a Challenge Brief

Before you start building, read the challenge brief carefully:

  1. Understand the success criteria — What will the poster test?
  2. Identify constraints — Technology requirements, data formats, API limitations
  3. Estimate scope — Can you realistically build this in time?
  4. Ask questions — Use the comments to clarify ambiguities before you start

Building Your Solution

Start with a Plan

Spend 15-30 minutes planning before you write code. What's the simplest solution that meets the criteria?

Use AI Effectively

AI tools can dramatically accelerate your build:

  • Use Cursor or Lovable for code generation
  • Use Claude or GPT-4 for architecture decisions
  • Use v0 for UI components

Document as You Go

The best builders document their process in real time. Create a build log that shows:

  • Your initial approach
  • Key decisions and why you made them
  • Problems you encountered and how you solved them
  • AI prompts that were particularly effective

Submitting Your Solution

A strong submission includes:

  • Demo — A working demo (video or live URL)
  • GitHub repo — Clean, documented code
  • Build log — Your documented process
  • README — Clear instructions for running the solution

Getting Paid

When a poster selects your solution:

  1. You'll receive a notification
  2. The reward is held in escrow
  3. After the poster confirms satisfaction, the reward is released
  4. Platform fees are deducted based on your plan
  5. Net amount is transferred to your account

Building Your Reputation
