Check-in line
New hackers stop arriving lost.
PipHackLup points them to nickname setup, roles, rules, profiles, teams, and help without making staff repeat the same answer all morning.
8-bit hackathon operations bot
PipHackLup
When the Discord opens and hundreds of hackers ask where food, teams, judges, mentors, and rules are, PipHackLup handles the repeat traffic and calls staff when a human needs the wheel.

Built for the moments organizers dread
PipHackLup is not a shiny dashboard costume. It is a Discord operator that helps staff absorb the first wave of confusion, route the important stuff, and keep receipts.
Q&A radio
The bot answers what staff already taught it.
Load the schedule, food notes, judging rules, venue details, sponsor links, and escalation rules from Discord or the site.
Help desk
Mentor requests become a visible queue.
Participants open mentor, tech, staff, or judging tickets. Staff can claim, escalate, close, and keep the room moving.
Team table
Solo builders find the right group faster.
Profiles, recruiting teams, join requests, and matching keep team formation from turning into a chaotic introductions channel.
Human fallback built in
Answers common questions. Pings staff for the rest.
Staff can train the bot from Discord or the PipHackLup site. If a question looks sensitive, low-confidence, mentor-needed, or prompt-injection shaped, the bot opens a follow-up path instead of pretending.
