It’s time to push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI using Google Gemini. Check out the Gemini API to build AI-powered apps that make your friends say WHOA. So, what can Gemini do for your hackathon project?

Understand language like a human and build a chatbot that gives personalized advice
Analyze info like a supercomputer and create an app that summarizes complex research papers
Generate creative content like code, scripts, music, and more
Think of the possibilities… what will you build with the Google Gemini API this weekend?

Wireless Earbuds ||

Deploy natural, human-sounding audio with ElevenLabs. Create realistic, dynamic, and emotionally expressive voices for any project, from interactive AI companions to narrated stories and voice-enabled apps. ElevenLabs will empower you to build rich, immersive experiences without the need for actors or complex audio production, using simply the power of AI.

Integrate fully autonomous audio experiences into your hack with ElevenLabs and give your project a voice, along with giving your team the chance to win some wireless earbuds!

Entire is the Git forge for agent-human collaboration. From syncing your sessions and prompts to your Git history, to hosting code and replacing the Pull Request with Trails, Entire are reimagining code hosting and collaboration for the agent era.

Ready to build faster with AI without burning through tokens or losing context? This challenge is all about building smarter AI workflows. To qualify, your project should leverage as many of Entire’s core capabilities (Sessions, Graph, and/or Brain) as possible.

Your project should lean on Sessions for context and memory and entire-graph for codebase mapping:

Sessions (Shared Memory): Save your AI agent sessions as instant checkpoints and push them to your team. Teammates or other agents can jump in instantly and pick up right where you left off with zero context loss.
Graph (Codebase Mapping): Generate a visual map of how your codebase fits together. Using entire graph search instead of letting agents blindly search files to cut token usage by up to 71%!
Brain (Persistent Reasoning): Combine your session data and Graph insights into persistent project knowledge. Agents can query past decisions and architectural lessons through the CLI or MCP so they don’t repeat mistakes or undo working code.
Trails (Code review): Assign you or a teammate’s agent a task via Trail (Entire’s issue/PR combo primitive), the agent works on it, and then let your agent review the code change: does the code change match the intent? Should it merge? Let Entire Trails help you decide!

Unruggable Hardware Wallets ||

The world of development is evolving fast and Solana is leading the charge with a network built to handle all of your infrastructure needs. Forget high fees and slow confirmations, it’s time to build applications that are fast, efficient, and scalable.

Harness Solana’s core advantages like blazing fast execution and near-zero transaction costs to make your hackathon ideas become real world projects. With Solana, the possibilities are endless.

Create a game, social app, or consumer product that relies on instant, high-frequency transactions.
Design a sophisticated trading, lending, or decentralized exchange (DEX).
Build a prototype for supply chain, identity, or payments that can handle massive, real-world volume.
Show us how you can innovate with Solana for a chance to win Unruggable Hardware Wallets for you and each member of your team!

Stream Deck Mini ||

Building high-performance apps under hackathon deadlines shouldn't mean spending half your weekend configuring complex databases or learning obscure query languages. Tiger Data extends PostgreSQL to give student developers an ultra-fast foundation for real-time data, time-series metrics, and complex analytics.

Why build with Tiger Data this weekend?

Standard SQL Power: Query massive datasets instantly using the SQL you already know, with no complex NoSQL aggregation pipelines required.

Unified Data Stack: Store relational user profiles and high-frequency metric streams side-by-side in a single database.

Instant Dashboards: Serve lag-free, real-time frontend charts using pre-computed Continuous Aggregates.

90%+ Data Compression: Store millions of events on free-tier cloud instances without running out of disk space.

Whether you’re building real-time IoT monitoring, AI-driven analytics dashboards, or financial prediction engines, show us how Tiger Data powers your project. The team that demonstrates the most innovative, impactful, and performance-driven use of Tiger Data will take home some great prizes!
