Lovable AI organizes shot lists so directors stay focused; FLock announces it.

full primer →The kernel.
On-set communication gets a frontier-model brain: a server function calls FLock's OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint and filmmakers read a tailored, on-brand answer they can act on.
Why this primitiveDirectors need hands-free, real-time audio updates while looking through the viewfinder.
Kernel
an OpenAI-compatible `POST /v1/chat/completions` against https://api.flock.io/v1 — pick any FLock marketplace model (DeepSeek V4 Flash/Pro, Gemini 3.5 Flash, Kimi K2.6, Qwen3, MiniMax) through one endpoint, one key
Drives the UI as
a prompt box or chat surface that returns markdown the user can read, copy, or act on
Required key.
FLOCK_API_KEY
Single API key for FLock's OpenAI-compatible endpoint — text, image, video and tool-calling agents across the whole model marketplace. Sign up at platform.flock.io, create a team, generate a key starting with sk-.

5 credits — this single message must produce a working demo with no follow-ups.
Single-page TanStack Start app. Cut scope ruthlessly.
CONCEPT
Lovable AI organizes shot lists so directors stay focused; FLock announces it.
Discipline: Filmmaking & Animation (on-set communication).
Recipe: FLock Chat (Text Models) (frontier reasoning) as the single creative surface.
Why this kernel: Directors need hands-free, real-time audio updates while looking through the viewfinder.
LOVABLE BUDGET (HARD CAP: ONE-SHOT, ~5 CREDITS TOTAL):
The participant has FIVE Lovable credits for the whole build. This prompt MUST
ship a working demo on the FIRST message with zero follow-ups. Engineer for that.
- ONE TanStack Start app, ONE route (`src/routes/index.tsx`). No extra pages, no auth, no nav.
- ONE TanStack server function in `src/lib/flock.functions.ts` that proxies the FLock call.
- ONE client surface (a textarea + button, or chat box, or prompt-to-canvas) wired to it.
- NO database, NO Lovable Cloud, NO auth, NO file uploads, NO extra integrations.
- NO tests, NO docs pages, NO settings screens, NO theming toggles.
- Libraries: template defaults + `zod`. Nothing else.
- Keep the diff small enough to land in one build pass. If a feature is not on
screen in the user flow below, do not build it. Cut scope before adding scope.
STACK
- TanStack Start app, the index route only.
- FLock.io is the only AI dependency. All API calls live inside a `createServerFn`
handler so `FLOCK_API_KEY` stays on the server.
- Client surface fits the kernel: a prompt box that returns the result.
- Tailwind + shadcn. Editorial look: gold accent on a dark or warm-cream
background, generous type, one strong headline, one primary action.
- Footer renders: "Built during the FLock.io Creative Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14".
SERVER FUNCTION (src/lib/flock.functions.ts) — FLock chat completions:
```ts
import { createServerFn } from "@tanstack/react-start";
import { z } from "zod";
/** Built during the FLock.io Creative Hackathon organised by StreetKode Fam during Indian Krump Festival 14 */
export const ask = createServerFn({ method: "POST" })
.inputValidator((d) => z.object({ topic: z.string().min(1).max(2000) }).parse(d))
.handler(async ({ data }) => {
const r = await fetch("https://api.flock.io/v1/chat/completions", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"x-litellm-api-key": process.env.FLOCK_API_KEY!,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
model: "qwen3-30b-a3b-instruct-2507",
messages: [
{ role: "system", content: `You are an expert helper for on-set communication. ` +
`Reply in friendly markdown, under 180 words, with concrete next steps.` },
{ role: "user", content: data.topic },
],
temperature: 0.7,
}),
});
if (r.status === 401) throw new Error("FLock rejected the API key — check FLOCK_API_KEY.");
if (r.status === 402) throw new Error("FLock balance exhausted — top up at platform.flock.io.");
if (r.status === 429) throw new Error("FLock rate limited — try again in a moment.");
if (!r.ok) throw new Error(`FLock chat failed: ${r.status}`);
const j = await r.json();
return { reply: j.choices[0].message.content as string };
});
```
CLIENT (in `src/routes/index.tsx`):
```tsx
import { useServerFn } from "@tanstack/react-start";
import { useState } from "react";
import ReactMarkdown from "react-markdown";
import { ask } from "@/lib/flock.functions";
const run = useServerFn(ask);
const [topic, setTopic] = useState("");
const [reply, setReply] = useState<string | null>(null);
const [busy, setBusy] = useState(false);
const onAsk = async () => {
setBusy(true); setReply(null);
try { const { reply } = await run({ data: { topic } }); setReply(reply); }
finally { setBusy(false); }
};
```
FLock model ids are bare (LiteLLM style) — e.g. `qwen3-30b-a3b-instruct-2507`,
`deepseek-v4-flash`, `deepseek-v4-pro`, `gemini-3.5-flash`, `kimi-k2.6`. Browse
the live marketplace at https://platform.flock.io/models. Swap by changing one
string — same endpoint, same key.
USER FLOW (the entire app — nothing else exists)
1. Land on the page; the headline previews what the demo does for on-set communication.
2. The primary action (a prompt box or chat surface that returns markdown the user can read, copy, or act on) is one tap away; the rest of the layout supports it.
3. FLock runs the kernel server-side, the result lands on screen, the user can retry or copy.
KEY — only ONE secret is required:
1. `FLOCK_API_KEY`. Sign up at https://platform.flock.io, create a team,
generate an API key (starts with `sk-...`). Add it to Project Settings ->
Secrets. Read it only on the server via `process.env.FLOCK_API_KEY`.
Never prefix with `VITE_`, never expose to the client. One key unlocks
the entire FLock model marketplace — text, image, video, tools.
