Tech For Community 2026

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!
  

We’re looking for teams that use Entire to create seamless human-AI collaboration, maintain clean code history, and show measurable token efficiency. Build something awesome, keep your agents on track, and show us how Entire powers your workflow!

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!

Generative AI is rapidly changing the landscape of software development. This category challenges you to build novel applications that leverage the power of Generative AI APIs.  Think outside the box and integrate cutting-edge AI models to create innovative solutions with real-world impact.
