Hackathon Sprint
Gemma 4 Good
This page is the routing layer for the Gemma 4 Good Hackathon . It connects the official challenge, the Gemma 4 article, and the build-session brief into one submission path.
Official Competition
Gemma 4 Good
Official Kaggle competition for impact-oriented Gemma 4 builds.
Submission Deadline
May 18, 2026
Plan backward from the deadline and keep the scope tight.
Prize Pool
$200,000
Public announcement also references an Unsloth-specific fine-tuning prize.
Best Fit Here
2 build tracks
Campaign Copilot or Search Visibility Agent, both already scoped in the build brief.
Working Sequence
Keep the workflow tight. The common failure mode here is overbuilding the first version.
Read
Start with the Gemma 4 article so the build has a clear strategic frame.
Pick
Choose one narrow use case and keep the first version end-to-end.
Build
Implement tool calling, memory, and guardrails before adding fine-tuning.
Ship
Prepare a public repo, a short demo, and a technical write-up for submission.
Build Assets
What already exists
The material is already split correctly: strategy in the article, implementation detail in the All-Hands page.
Submission Basics
What judges need to see
- Working demo that shows the model and tool layer doing real work
- Public code repository with a clear README and setup instructions
- Technical write-up explaining architecture, model choice, and evaluation
- Short demo video suitable for judges to review quickly
Recommended build tracks
Both tracks are already scoped in the All-Hands page. Pick one. Do not try to submit both unless one is clearly a thin extension of the other.
Track A
Campaign Copilot
- Chat interface over campaign data
- 3 to 5 well-scoped tools
- Structured recommendations, not autonomous execution
- Optional LoRA fine-tuning on historical analyst outputs
Track B
Search Visibility Agent
- Rendered SERP capture with Playwright or Puppeteer
- Gemma 4 vision analysis over screenshots
- Structured JSON visibility reports
- Historical comparison and alert thresholds
Impact Framing
How to position a marketing build credibly
The challenge is impact-oriented. A marketing submission needs a defensible public-interest use case, not just a better conversion engine.
- AI-mediated search visibility tooling for smaller brands
- Privacy-preserving marketing copilots that keep sensitive data local
- Compliance or QA systems that reduce harmful or misleading marketing output
Scope Discipline
What to avoid
Bad scope
- General-purpose marketing super-agent
- Too many tools without clear tool routing
- Fine-tuning before the base harness works
- Claims of autonomy without audit or approval gates
Good scope
- One user problem, solved end to end
- Small tool surface with clear schemas
- Visible guardrails and validation
- Evidence that the system actually works
Next Moves
Use this page as a routing layer
This page should not duplicate the build brief. It should route people quickly to the right material and make the submission shape obvious.
