Relate by Neo4j Hackathon 2026. Build AI Agents on an Embedded Database
Up next
Join the Relate by Neo4j Hackathon, a month-long online event, November 11, 2026 to December 11, 2026. Build with Relate, the new open-source embedded database built for AI agents, and win a Mac Studio or Mac mini!
Relate runs as a library inside your app, with no signup and no server to deploy. Agents get fast local lookups, JSON output they can read, and a shared graph that many agents can update at once. The theme is Context, Connected: build something that shows what happens when agents understand how your data connects.
Solo or on a team, all experience levels welcome.
