NVIDIA Spark Hackathon Seattle 2026 · Winner
MEMO.
A visual memory assistant that remembers where things are, answers everyday questions, and brings a trusted person to help when it matters.
+
Built by a Seattle-based team including local students, MEMO won the NVIDIA Spark Hackathon Seattle 2026 while exploring how wearable AI could support everyday memory and independence.
Local-first and private by default. Built for our parents, on a single Acer GN100.
+
MEMO explores how wearable AI could help older adults with everyday memory and independence, while keeping trusted family members within reach.
Not a cloud model answer. Reasoning, perception, speech, and memory run on the device.

MEMO was created by a Seattle-based team including local students and won the NVIDIA Spark Hackathon Seattle 2026. We are available for interviews and live demonstrations in the Seattle area.
+
+
+
+
Story angle
+
How a local team is exploring wearable AI for everyday memory, independence, and trusted family assistance.

+
Award
+
Winner, NVIDIA Spark Hackathon Seattle 2026.
+
+
+
Team
+
Seattle-based, including local students. See the full team above.
+
+
+
Availability
+
Available for interviews and live demos in the Seattle area.
We proved we could build it. Now we're learning where it's useful.
+
Winning the NVIDIA Spark Hackathon validated that we could build a working system. The next step is to learn where MEMO is genuinely useful, for whom, and in what form.

?
+
Open question
+
Whether MEMO fits real households, and in what form, has not yet been tested. Product and market fit are still unproven.

+
Direction, not a claim
+
MEMO is being explored as an assistive wearable-memory concept — not yet a positioned product.
