HydraDB x Connectors Hackathon

HydraDB Connectors HackathonJuly 31, 6 PM PT → August 7, 6 PM PT · Virtual · $500 in prizesDiscord: https://discord.gg/t6mE9hCJzrHydraDB is a context layer for AI agents, combining knowledge, memories, documents, metadata, and relationships across multiple sources.ChallengeBuild a HydraDB project using at least 3 connectors and test how well it handles real cross-source retrieval.ConnectorsCredentials and shared access will be provided privately through Discord.What to Build1. Multi-Connector + Document IngestionIngest the same people, companies, projects, or events across multiple sources.Example: the same person appears in Slack, Gmail, and uploaded documents. Test whether HydraDB connects those references instead of treating them as separate entities.2. Difficult Retrieval QuestionsAsk questions that require more than basic semantic search:Multi-hop questions are especially valuable. The answer should require multiple HydraDB queries or retrieval steps, not one API call.Example:3. Latency vs Accuracy CompetitionDesign ingestion and retrieval that is:Use:The goal is to answer most questions using fast mode, while using thinking mode only when the question actually requires deeper reasoning.Track:SubmissionInclude:JudgingCorrectness, cross-source reasoning, latency, cost, reproducibility, and developer experience.How far can you push fast mode without sacrificing accuracy?ResourcesMCP: https://github.com/usecortex/hydradb-mcpCLI: https://github.com/usecortex/hydradb-cliDocs: https://docs.hydradb.com
