Feedback helps you capture product experiences that builders might otherwise keep to themselves. It gives event hosts a structured way to learn how builders actually felt about the tools, APIs, and workflows they used during the hackathon. Feedback also encourages builders to think more deeply about what they are building and the tools they are integrating with. Instead of treating tooling as a black box, builders are pushed to reflect on what worked, what did not, and how each part of the stack shaped the final project. You can also incentivize feedback collection with raffles. This makes it easier to gather more responses while still surfacing the highest-quality developer experience feedback inside HackerSquad.

​

Find the feedback section

Use the event management portal to open the feedback section for your event. This is where you review submitted feedback, filter results, export data, and run a raffle.

​

Why feedback analysis matters

Builders do not always submit thoughtful feedback on their own. It is common for people to write low-effort responses, very short responses, or AI-generated responses that do not reflect a real developer experience. To improve quality, every feedback submission goes through a multi-step LLM analysis workflow. This helps HackerSquad identify feedback that is more likely to be human-written and technically useful. The LLM Score reflects the technical depth of the submission. Higher scores generally indicate that the builder explained their experience in more detail and gave more meaningful product feedback. The points generated from the LLM Score also feed into the leaderboard in the builder portal. This gives builders an additional reason to submit thoughtful, experience-based feedback instead of low-effort responses.

​

AI detection overview

HackerSquad includes an AI Detection Overview so you can understand the quality of the feedback collected for your event. This view helps you quickly understand:

• The total number of feedback submissions
• How many responses were classified as human-written
• How many responses were flagged as AI-generated
• Whether any responses could not be classified

Rejected feedback usually means the submission was flagged as AI-generated, too short, low-quality, or low-effort.

​

Filter and review feedback

Use the feedback filters to narrow the list to the responses you want to review. By default, HackerSquad shows accepted feedback first. This helps you spend time on the submissions most likely to contain real developer insights. As you review feedback, use the LLM analysis and score as signals for depth and quality, especially when you want to understand how builders experienced partner tools or developer workflows.

​

Export feedback

Feedback can also be exported from HackerSquad. Use the export tool to download feedback entries as a CSV file for deeper review, sharing, or post-event analysis. Exporting is useful when you want to:

• Share results with internal teams
• Review feedback outside the platform
• Analyze product experience trends after the event

​

Run a raffle

HackerSquad includes a built-in raffle tool for feedback submissions. When you click the raffle button, the platform randomly selects one feedback entry. This is a simple way to reward participation and encourage more builders to leave thoughtful feedback during the event.
