Why It Won — our reading

Aegis reads as a win for finish rather than flash. Most entries stop at a local demo; this one arrived already deployed on Google Cloud and presented as production-ready, which is likely close to what a cloud sponsor prize is looking for. The explainability layer compounds that: when every decision carries its own rationale, judges can follow the system live instead of trusting a narrative about it.

This is our own analysis based on the official announcement and the project's own materials. It is not the organizer's stated reasoning.

2026C
Development Track — Grand Prize

ClipMind

放送局合同 AI ハッカソン (Google Cloud)
Drop in a long broadcast video and it works out the edit plan, picks the scenes and writes the captions to produce a social-ready short. Afterwards you can still adjust it by chat — 'make the captions yellow' — and it took the top spot against 28 teams from Japanese broadcasters.

Excellence Award

KOTOWARI Link

第4回 Agentic AI Hackathon with Google Cloud
An app that lays the laws behind everyday scenes over the scenes themselves in AR. Pick a difficulty and a field, point a phone at a fountain or a bridge, and an AI reads the image and draws trajectories and force vectors on top of what the camera sees. If curiosity goes further, a link leads to a fuller written explanation.

Award of Excellence

BrickQuest

第4回 Agentic AI Hackathon with Google Cloud
An app that suggests what you can build with the bricks you own. It recognises parts from photos to build an inventory, and once you pick a theme and difficulty the AI generates a 3D build sequence. A physics engine checks it for overlaps and floating pieces, reports the faults and makes the AI redo it, up to three times.

Honorable Mention

【朗報】ずんだもん、野菜になる。小学生のやさしい植物教育を目指して。

第4回 Agentic AI Hackathon with Google Cloud
A device for talking to a character reincarnated as a plant. Sensors watch soil moisture, temperature, humidity and light, and pass the readings to the AI as feelings — thirst, cold — so it speaks up with a face and a voice. It starts talking when a motion sensor spots someone, so a child gets a cue to care, no numbers needed.
