Award of Excellence — 第3回 AI Agent Hackathon with Google Cloud 2025

PawMate

A web service linking the owner of a lost pet with whoever spots it. One agent reads images, another predicts behaviour, and together they estimate from weather, time of day and terrain where the animal is likely to be, drawing it as a heat map. Finders' photos are auto-matched by similarity, and both sides can chat directly.

From the organizer's citation (summary)

Judges praised the scientific grounding of the animal-behaviour analysis and the way it became a working service, as well as the technical strength behind features such as the heat map. As pet owners, they added that they would be glad to have it.

Why It Won — our reading

Splitting the work into two agents, one reading images and one predicting behaviour, gives the team a structure they can talk through and an answer to why a given estimate came out as it did. A lost pet is emotionally loaded subject matter, but deriving a probability from weather, time of day and terrain and drawing it on a map keeps the entry from reading as sentiment alone. Carrying it through to automatic photo matching and a direct owner-finder chat likely helped too.

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

Grand Prize

フクシア

第3回 AI Agent Hackathon with Google Cloud
An agent aimed at the paperwork load on social workers. It fills a client's assessment items from an interview transcript, then searches a custom RAG index of support programmes in Yamagata Prefecture and lists fitting ones as tasks. A plain UI works where paper and digital coexist, returning time to face-to-face support.

FutureRun

第3回 AI Agent Hackathon with Google Cloud
An app for experiencing race day before it arrives. It cross-references the course GPX, the weather and the runner's goals and training history, then works out which points to watch, how to pace and where to drink. The advice comes back as a generated video with captions, helping runners picture the course and judge well.

RouteKeeperAI

第3回 AI Agent Hackathon with Google Cloud
A system that surfaces road hazards before you drive them. It pulls Street View imagery every 50 metres along a chosen route and has AI analyse each point from several angles — blind corners, road surface, visibility — scoring risk on a ten-point scale. The result is a colour-coded map you can question spot by spot in chat.

添削AI『言の葉』

第3回 AI Agent Hackathon with Google Cloud
A web app for marking handwritten exams. Questions and grading criteria are registered in advance; given a PDF of answers, three AI roles, sorting, transcription and commenting, draft the feedback. Teachers edit and place the comments on screen, then export a PDF, lifting a returned test from a bare score to real feedback.
