Three cross functional teams were formed and entered a 24 hour challenge to build a system from scratch under a special requirement: **more than 90 percent of the code had to be generated by AI**. ## THE CHALLENGE The task was to develop a **car rental price prediction system** for a **rental car booking platform**. The solution uses AI to analyze factors such as **timing, weather, events, market demand**, and other variables in order to recommend optimal future pricing, helping businesses maximize vehicle utilization efficiency and strengthen their competitive advantage. ## BUILDING A SYSTEM IN 24 HOURS Within the limited timeframe, the teams continuously brainstormed, tested, and optimized their solutions. After just **24 hours**, the teams had built products that were close to fully completed at the highest level, including **backend, frontend, and an AI prediction model** operating in sync. ![AI HACKATHON 2026](https://hblabgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/AI-Hackathon-4.jpg "KEEPING PACE WITH THE AI WAVE | HBLAB ELEVATES ITS CAPABILITIES THROUGH AI HACKATHON 2026 7") The implementation process was also carried out in a structured manner, from **problem analysis and business clarification** to **solution design and system development**. Notably, one team built as much as **99 percent of its code based on AI**, demonstrating a very thorough application of AI in development. ![AI HACKATHON 2026](https://hblabgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/AI-Hackathon-2.jpg "KEEPING PACE WITH THE AI WAVE | HBLAB ELEVATES ITS CAPABILITIES THROUGH AI HACKATHON 2026 8") ## PRACTICAL VALUE BEYOND COMPETITION More than a competition, **AI Hackathon 2026** delivered many practical values: - An opportunity for **exchange and learning between HBLAB and Telemax**, while further strengthening the partnership between the two companies - Enhancement of team capabilities to meet new market demands - A chance for participants to challenge themselves, go beyond their limits, discover their potential, and upgrade their AI capabilities - A foundation for turning AI into a competitive advantage in HBLAB’s projects ![AI HACKATHON 2026](https://hblabgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/AI-Hackathon-6.jpg "KEEPING PACE WITH THE AI WAVE | HBLAB ELEVATES ITS CAPABILITIES THROUGH AI HACKATHON 2026 9") ## BUILDING HBLAB’S INTERNAL AI ECOSYSTEM Alongside improving team capabilities, HBLAB is also gradually launching **internal AI tools** to ensure **project data security**, optimize workflows, and accelerate delivery speed for clients. This is an important step in building HBLAB’s own AI ecosystem, one that is both flexible in application and able to meet strict security requirements. ![AI HACKATHON 2026](https://hblabgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/AI-Hackathon.jpg "KEEPING PACE WITH THE AI WAVE | HBLAB ELEVATES ITS CAPABILITIES THROUGH AI HACKATHON 2026 10") #### Recent in HBLAB NEWS [https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-11th-anniversary-2/](https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-11th-anniversary-2/) ### [HBLAB 11th Anniversary Journey: Building a Culture of Growth, Teamwork, and Shared Ambition](https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-11th-anniversary-2/) [https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-11th-anniversary/](https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-11th-anniversary/) ### [HBLAB 11th Anniversary Gala Dinner: UP, Think Bigger, Act Bolder, Grow Together](https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-11th-anniversary/) [https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-strengthens-team-quality-through-neuroscience-risk-management-seminar/](https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-strengthens-team-quality-through-neuroscience-risk-management-seminar/) ### [HBLAB Strengthens Team Quality Through Neuroscience & Risk Management Seminar](https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-strengthens-team-quality-through-neuroscience-risk-management-seminar/) [https://hblabgroup.com/ai-hackathon-2026/](https://hblabgroup.com/ai-hackathon-2026/) ### [KEEPING PACE WITH THE AI WAVE | HBLAB ELEVATES ITS CAPABILITIES THROUGH AI HACKATHON 2026](https://hblabgroup.com/ai-hackathon-2026/) [https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-signs-mous/](https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-signs-mous/) ### [HBLAB SIGNS MOUs WITH TELEMAX AND AUTOSTRADA | EXPANDING COOPERATION IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND AI](https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-signs-mous/) [https://hblabgroup.com/retail-tech-japan-2026/](https://hblabgroup.com/retail-tech-japan-2026/) ### [HBLAB PARTICIPATES IN RETAIL TECH JAPAN 2026 | LEVERAGING THE POWER OF AI × DATA TO INNOVATE THE RETAIL INDUSTRY](https://hblabgroup.com/retail-tech-japan-2026/) [https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-korea-at-ai-x-softwave-2025/](https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-korea-at-ai-x-softwave-2025/) ### [HBLAB Korea at AI x Softwave 2025 | Connecting Korean Enterprises with Vietnam’s AI Talent](https://hblabgroup.com/hblab-korea-at-ai-x-softwave-2025/) [https://hblabgroup.com](https://hblabgroup.com) [Envelope](http://contact@hblab.vn) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/hblabvn) [Youtube](https://www.linkedin.com/company/hblab/) [Linkedin](https://www.linkedin.com/company/hblab/) #### [Việt Anh Võ](http://Vi%E1%BB%87t%20Anh%20V%C3%B5) ![Image](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4210bbdfa2f27fd3198172546061590d25da335e1f01eec1b137aa1e20e35a9e?s=96&d=mm&r=g) ## Related posts [https://hblabgroup.com/android-app-development-agency/](https://hblabgroup.com/android-app-development-agency/) - [Web/App Development](https://hblabgroup.com/website-app-development/) ### [Android App Development Agency Advantage: Unlock Unstoppable Mobile Success in 2026](https://hblabgroup.com/android-app-development-agency/) Why partner with an android app development agency in 2026?
