Agentic Cinema: The Blockbuster Hackathon

🎬 Lights. Camera. Code.

Calling all ecosystem architects and autonomous builders! Step onto the studio lot and transform real-world enterprise chaos into a seamless cinematic production with Gemini. Join Google Cloud and our elite, star-studded partner ecosystem for a first-of-its-kind Summer Blockbuster hackathon!

In the era of Agentic AI, writing raw lines of code is just the background noise. The real magic happens when you orchestrate the system. Whether you want to play the visionaryDirectorbuilding production-ready autonomous agent networks, theTechnical Producerconnecting secure data pipelines via managed MCP servers, or theStudio Headenforcing Cloud IAM security and governance across multi-agent workflows—the backlot is yours.

Vibe code with Gemini Enterprise and our leading partner technologies to cast the perfect enterprise tech stack and build the next generation of AI applications fit for the big screen.

🌟 Why Join?

• **Direct Your AI Crew:**Get hands-on with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and cutting-edge partner tools to transition your local ideas into production-scale architectures.
• **Walk the Red Carpet:**Pitch your automated production workflows directly to executive judges, enterprise experts, and elite engineering leaders.

🏆 The Box Office Prizes

There are three identical prize buckets—one for each of our featured partner tracks. Instead of a single, crowded pool, you are competing directly within the specific “studio track” of your chosen partner technology.

How to Secure the Greenlight:

1. **Cast Your Co-Star:**Choose the partner platform that holds the data or application workflows your agent needs to interact with.
2. Build with Gemini Enterprise:Build your agentic workflow on Google Cloud using theGemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Connect to your partner tool using robust enterprise pipelines, API frameworks, or managed protocol adapters.
3. **Dominate Your Track:**Show off a deterministic, multi-step agent that solves enterprise friction. You will be judged exclusively against other builders inside your chosen partner track.

What to Build

🎬 Build a functional agent—powered by Gemini and Google Cloud Agent Builder—that integrates a Partner Entity’s product to power a real media & entertainment workflow.

Partners:

• IBM
• Grafana
• Parallel
• Clickhouse
• Replit

🛠️ The Challenge

Your mission is to code a functional, production-ready AI agent or multi-agent network—powered by Gemini and Google Cloud Agent Builder—that integrates a Partner Entity’s MCP server to solve critical bottlenecks across the entertainment and media value chain, specifically targeting the workflows of filmmakers, screenwriters, studio crews, or fans.

We want to see you rapidly prototype an architectural system that tames creative chaos—moving your agent from a simple prompt box into an autonomous, tool-wielding crew member.

Your Production Goals:

• **Beyond the Script (Action-Driven):**Your agent shouldn’t just summarize or chat. It needs toact. It must execute multi-step tool calls—updating dynamic databases, triggering cloud functions, or interacting with live web services via partner APIs or connectors.
• **The Multi-Agent Ensemble:**Move past isolated assistants. Build an architecture where sub-agents plan steps, handle distinct sub-tasks, and securely hand off state to complete complex enterprise goals.
• **Studio-Grade Security:**Ensure your production is secure. Leverage Google Cloud’s native enterprise readiness—demonstrating how your agent safely respects user boundaries, handles context window token efficiency, and remains grounded.

How to Build on the Lot:

• **Google Cloud Agent Builder (No-Code UI):**Your main stage. Use this managed platform to orchestrate your autonomous agents, define their roles via Playbooks, and set up safety guardrails without dealing with local environment overhead.
• **Agent Builder Data Stores:**Skip manual embedding pipelines. Drop your cinematic datasets (scripts, historical box office data, review logs) directly into Agent Builder’s native data stores using PDFs, websites, or BigQuery tables for instant, zero-config grounding.
• Enterprise Agent Platform SDK:For teams wanting to inject custom logic into their tools, use the native Python library alongsideCloud RunandSecret Managerto host and secure your custom integration backends.

💡Production Tip: Don’t Waste Time Setting Up Your IDE

You don’t need to configure local environments, debug dependencies, or install local terminal libraries. Use the built-inConsole Emulatordirectly inside the Google Cloud UI to rapidly prototype, iterate on prompts, and test your partner tool integrations live in the browser.

Submitting to this hackathon could earn you:

Full judge panel to be announced soon.

• Technological Implementation How well is the project built, and how effectively does it use Google Cloud and the Partner services as part of the solution?
• Design Does the project deliver a complete, coherent product experience not just a technical proof of concept?
• Potential Impact Does the project make a credible, specific case for solving a real problem for a real audience and does the solution actually address it based on what’s demonstrated?
• Quality of the Idea Is this a creative, non-obvious use of Google Cloud and the Partner services and does the team show genuine understanding of the problem space?
