Build with Kumo: The KumoRFM Hackathon Challenge
Event Date: August 20, 2025
Submission Deadline: August 18, 2025 (11:59 PM PT)

Open to individuals worldwide, subject to applicable laws. Participation is void where prohibited. Cash prize eligibility is limited to legal residents of the United States who are 18 years of age or older at the time of registration. Non-U.S. participants are welcome to compete and present projects but are not eligible for cash prizes. International winners may be recognized with non-monetary awards such as certificates, event features, or marketing spotlights. To be eligible for prizes, U.S. participants must attend the in-person Demo Day in San Francisco on August 20, 2025, and submit their project by August 18, 2025 (11:59 PM PT) using the official submission link provided after registration. Travel, lodging, and related expenses are the responsibility of participants. Kumo does not provide reimbursements for participation-related costs.

Registration is required to participate. Once registered here, you may begin building your project immediately. You may participate as an individual or as part of a team of any size. There is no minimum or maximum team size. Early registration is recommended to maximize your build period.

Projects must meaningfully integrate KumoRFM to generate predictions from relational data. You are encouraged to create any functional tool or prototype powered by KumoRFM. Example ideas include:

• Dating Match Predictor - Estimate compatibility between users using relational profile, interaction, and behavioral data.
  
  

• Personalized Interaction Agent - An AI agent that uses KumoRFM predictions to adapt conversations, recommendations, or decisions in real time.
  
  

• Business Intelligence Dashboard with Predictive Insights - Predict sales, churn, or lead scores, and integrate outputs directly into BI tools like Tableau, Looker, or Power BI.
  
  

• Autonomous Fraud Detection & Response Agent - Detect suspicious transactions and trigger automated follow-up actions.
  
  

• Dynamic Pricing Agent - Continuously adjust prices based on predicted demand, competitor pricing, and supply chain signals.
  
  

• Predictive Maintenance Orchestrator - Forecast equipment failures and automatically create work orders or service tickets.
  
  

• Personalized Learning or Onboarding Agent - Recommend the next best training or onboarding steps for users, adapting in real time as performance changes.
  
  

• Supply Chain Risk Mitigation Agent - Predict delays or stockouts and trigger automated reordering or supplier alerts.
  
  

• Healthcare Readmission Prevention Agent - Predict high-risk patients and prompt case managers with personalized intervention recommendations.
  
  

All submissions must be received by August 18, 2025, 11:59 PM PT, submitted via the following link and include: 

• Project Description – The idea, problem it solves, and tech stack used; 

• Demo Video (preferred) or Slide Deck – Showcasing how the project works and what makes it unique;

• Code Repository – Link to your GitHub repo or code files; 

• Team Information – Names of all contributors;

• In-Person Attendance Confirmation – At least one team member must present live on August 20, 2025. 

Note: Submissions without an in-person demo presentation will be disqualified from cash prize eligibility.

Location: SVB Venue, San Francisco. Time: August 20, 2025 | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM PT. Selected teams will present live to a panel of judges, demonstrating the project’s purpose, use of KumoRFM, and value.

Judging Criteria:

• Practical Impact (30 points) – Does the project address a real, meaningful problem with clear potential value?
  
  

• KumoRFM Implementation & Innovation (30 points) – How effectively and creatively does the solution leverage KumoRFM’s capabilities (e.g., relational data handling, predictive query language)?
  
  

• Technical Execution (20 points) – Is the solution functional, robust, and well-engineered?
  
  

• Storytelling & Presentation (20 points) – How clearly and compellingly is the problem, solution, and impact communicated?
  
  Prizes (U.S. residents only): 1st Place: $10,000; 2nd Place: $7,000; 3rd Place: $3,000. In addition to cash prizes for eligible U.S. residents, winners (including international participants) will gain visibility through Kumo’s marketing channels and event coverage, and may be considered for sponsored opportunities, strategic partnerships, internships, or potential employment with Kumo or its industry partners. All judging decisions are final and at the sole discretion of Kumo and the appointed judging panel.
