Cognee Hackathons

This repository is the home of Cognee's hackathon events. Each hackathon lives in its own subfolder and contains everything needed to participate: the challenge brief, setup instructions, starter skills or templates, examples, and a submission template.

Cognee is an open-source AI memory platform that transforms raw data into persistent knowledge graphs for AI agents. Our hackathons invite builders to push that idea further — composing memory, agents, and tooling into systems that learn, remember, and improve over time.
