The Persistent Context Sprint Hackathon | Live at MongoDB .Local Build Fest

Luma Event Link • $15,000 in total prize money • 1 year of Cursor Ultra (~$2,400 value) Build in Less than a Day. Showcase on a Global Stage. The next generation of AI apps are built on systems that can remember, retrieve context, and take action over real application data. In this mini-hackathon, build AI applications powered by agent memory, where models work with databases, APIs, documents, code, and business systems to maintain and improve state and context over time. Agents need memory, state, context, and retrieval, and MongoDB gives you all of it on a single platform, so there’s no need for a third-party vector store, cache, or connector to bolt on. Whether you are creating autonomous developer tools, adaptive copilots, operational dashboards, or entirely new AI experiences, explore what becomes possible when intelligence is grounded in persistent memory and the right data at the right time, all in one place. How It Works 1. Participants will join us on-site at Build Fest for a dedicated ~4-hour hacking block. 2. A panel of first-round judges will select 3 final teams 3. Those finalists demo on-stage for attendees of Build Fest, and the audience will cast their votes in real-time. 4. A winner will be crowned on the spot, right before Loud Luxury takes the stage. Prizes Winners will receive a truly unique prize package, including: • $15,000 in total prize money • 1 year of Cursor Ultra (~$2,400 value) • Partner credits, swag, and more! • Access to Build Fest and the official after-party, featuring a live performance from Loud Luxury This event is fully in person in San Francisco at MongoDB's .local Build Fest.
