One starter repo, three winners: Neo4j at Hack the Video Agent Context Graph

Last Thursday, 151 builders filled the AWS Builder Loft on Market Street for Hack the Video Agent Context Graph, hosted by HackerSquad with the AWS Builder Loft — one day, one theme, 37 projects, and four required tools: AWS Strands Agents for orchestration, OpenAI for reasoning, TwelveLabs for multimodal video understanding, and Neo4j for the context graph. Several teams, including the winner, used a Neo4j starter repo that showed how all the tools could work together. Here’s what happened and why you should use a starter repo for your next hackathon!
