+# AI Tools for Hackathon (February 11-12)
+

+
+**Question:** Can I use this tool with our enterprise codebase?
+
+---

+| **Google Gemini Standard** | $19/user/month | NO training, 55-day abuse monitoring only |
+| **JetBrains AI** (any tier) | Included with IDE license | NO training on customer code |
+
+### Design Tools

+
+---
+
+## USE ONLY FOR NEW HACKATHON PROJECTS
+
+These tools **may train on your data** or have **privacy concerns**. Use them only for projects created during the hackathon:
+
+### Development Tools
+
+| Tool | Issue | Alternative |
+|------|-------|-------------|
+| **GitHub Copilot Free** | May use data for model improvement | Use Pro ($10) or Business ($19) |
+| **Google Gemini Free** | Consumer privacy policy applies | Use Standard ($19) |
+
+### Design Tools
+
+| Tool | Issue | Alternative |
+|------|-------|-------------|
+| **Uizard Free/Pro** | TRAINS on your designs | Use Business ($39) or UX Pilot |
+| **Lovable Free/Pro** | TRAINS unless you manually opt-out | Use Business ($50) or UX Pilot |
+| **Galileo AI Free/Starter** | ALL OUTPUTS ARE PUBLIC | Use Pro ($39) minimum or UX Pilot |
+
+### Testing Tools
+
+| Tool | Issue | Alternative |
+|------|-------|-------------|
+| **Virtuoso QA** | TRAINS on data by default, opt-out requires contract negotiation | Use Testim or Applitools |
+
+---
+
+## GOLD STANDARD (Highest Security)
+
+Best options if maximum privacy is required:
+
+1. **Continue.dev** ($0) - Can run 100% offline with local LLMs (Ollama)
+2. **Diffblue Cover** ($0-30/mo) - AI runs entirely on-premises
+3. **BrowserStack** (~$299/mo) - Zero data retention (wiped after each test)
+
+---
+
+## RECOMMENDED HACKATHON STACK
+
+### If Using Enterprise Code:
+
+**Development:**
+- Continue.dev Solo (free) OR GitHub Copilot Pro ($10/mo)
+
+**Design:**
+- UX Pilot Standard ($19/mo) - safest design tool
+
+**Testing:**
+- Diffblue Community (free) for Java unit tests
+- BrowserStack (free trial) for browser testing
+
+**Security:**
+- Snyk Free for vulnerability scanning
+
+### If Building New Projects Only:
+
+Feel free to experiment with any tool - even the ones that train on data, since it will be new non-proprietary code created during the hackathon.
