Explore the future of AI in the cloud and build innovative solutions with Google Cloud, Elastic, and Fivetran in the AI Accelerate Hackathon on Devpost.
Have a vision for the future of AI in the cloud? Get ready! We're thrilled to unveil the AI Accelerate Hackathon—your chance to innovate and build with incredible AI platforms. This hackathon unites the capabilities of Google Cloud, Elastic, and Fivetran, presenting unique challenges for you to explore these dynamic technologies. Whether your passion lies in data, artificial intelligence, or optimizing development workflows, there's a perfect challenge waiting for you.
In this post, we'll guide you through the hackathon specifics, highlight the exciting partner challenges and the tools at your disposal, and equip you with everything you need to hit the ground running.
Let’s explore what this hackathon has in store for you and how to get started.
This hackathon invites you to explore the capabilities of Google Cloud as you develop a project for one (or even both!) of the exciting partner challenges.
Being a multi-partner hackathon means you'll have access to both Google Cloud and either Elastic or Fivetran's platforms for your chosen project.
Here’s what you’ll do:
Now, let's explore the specific challenges and available resources from each partner.

Elastic helps you turn endless data possibilities into real results with the power of Search AI. This developer-centric, open-source platform offers a distributed search and vector database, providing lightning-fast analytics.
For this challenge, your goal is to build an AI-powered search solution that changes how people interact with information. You'll achieve this by combining Elastic's hybrid search capabilities with Google Cloud's generative AI tools.
Build a conversational or agent-based application that is smart, interactive, and understands context. This project should demonstrate how using Elastic alongside Google Cloud can revolutionize everyday tasks or business processes through AI.
To help you get started and spark your creativity, here are some areas to consider for your Elastic project:
Ready to explore Elastic? Check out the available solutions and resources for this hackathon.
The easiest way to get started with Elastic is with a 14-day free Elastic Cloud trial. Create a serverless project, so infra and scaling will be managed for you, and choose your favourite Google Cloud region.
As an alternative, you can subscribe through the Google Cloud Marketplace.
Fivetran simplifies moving data, ensuring your data teams always have accurate, fresh data where it's needed. With the Fivetran Connector SDK, you can easily build custom data connectors in Python without managing infrastructure.
This means you can focus on unlocking new data and delivering business outcomes faster for any Google Cloud workload.
Build your own custom data connector with the Fivetran Connector SDK. Once connected, you'll load this data into Google Cloud (like BigQuery or Cloud Storage) using Fivetran's automated pipelines. Then leverage Google Cloud AI services, such as Vertex AI, to develop an industry-focused AI application powered by your new dataset.
This is your chance to showcase your technical creativity by transforming new data sources into usable AI applications that drive better decisions and improve efficiency.
