About the hackathon

YHack is Yale's flagship student-run hackathon in New Haven and one of the larger collegiate hackathons in the country, drawing teams from across the Northeast for a weekend of building and sponsor challenges.

The track we competed in

We competed for the Best Use of Hex API prize, which rewards projects that put Hex's data and query tooling to real use. That fit our idea of giving agents structured, queryable memory rather than a pile of embeddings.

What we built

HiveOps handles on-call incident response through five cooperating agents. Instead of storing history as vector embeddings, it keeps structured SQL memory, so agents recall past incidents with exact queries rather than fuzzy similarity search. That makes the reasoning auditable and cheaper to run.

What we won

We won Best Use of Hex API for using structured SQL memory across the agent pipeline.
