Real-Time Video Agents Hack
Build agents that unlock the value of video. Explore video understanding, semantic search, and real-time detection, then show a working prototype at the end of the day.
Opens 10:00 AM PT · Deadline 4:30 PM PT
One project per team · Up to 4 people
What you’re building
Build a video agent that searches footage, answers questions, spots events, or takes action. One idea, working by the end of the day.
Pick a specific use case: “flag someone missing a hard hat,” rather than “watch for safety issues.” Adapt your idea to the footage available on build day.
Search depends on what the model’s prompt captures in each video description. You can ingest video with a different prompt on build day.
What to submit
- A public GitHub repository
- A short demo video with a shareable link
- What you built and the tools you used
- Your team’s names and contact emails
