AI Tools for Hackathon (February 11-12)
Quick Decision Guide
Question: Can I use this tool with our enterprise codebase?
SAFE FOR ENTERPRISE CODEBASE
These tools do not train on your code and can be used with proprietary/enterprise projects:
Development Tools
| Tool | Free Tier | Why It's Safe |
|---|---|---|
| Continue.dev Solo | $0 (fully functional) | Open source, air-gapped capable, NO training |
| GitHub Copilot Business | $19/user/month | Code NOT used for training, no retention |
| GitHub Copilot Pro | $10/user/month | Code NOT used for training by default |
| 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
| Tool | Safe Tier | Why It's Safe |
|---|---|---|
| UX Pilot (any paid tier) | $19-29/month | Does NOT train on designs at any tier |
| Uizard Business/Enterprise | $39+/month | Business tier: NO training |
| Lovable Business/Enterprise | $50+/month | Business tier: opt-out by default |
| Maze AI | Free or paid | Uses OpenAI/Anthropic APIs (no training) |
Testing Tools
| Tool | Free Tier | Why It's Safe |
|---|---|---|
| Diffblue Cover | FREE (25 methods/mo) | On-premises AI, code never leaves your machine |
| BrowserStack | Free trial | Immediate data wipeout after every test |
| Applitools | 14-day trial | NO training on screenshots |
| Testim | Community plan | NO training on customer data |
| Equally AI | 7-day trial | GDPR compliant, no PII collected |
Security Tools
| Tool | Free Tier | Why It's Safe |
|---|---|---|
| Snyk | Free tier available | Only trains on open source, never customer code |
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:
- Continue.dev ($0) - Can run 100% offline with local LLMs (Ollama)
- Diffblue Cover ($0-30/mo) - AI runs entirely on-premises
- 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.
