Best Use of Cala
Skip the data with Cala — get flown to Barcelona.
The challenge
Your product needs public info? Use Cala as your external data layer: structured, sourced facts for any real-world entity — no scraping, no manual research. Opt-in, and combinable with any other MEGATHON challenge.
A live knowledge graph gives your agents what web search and scraping can't: clean, structured, sourced data you can traverse. The best integrations make it impossible to imagine the product without Cala.
How you win
Did the team go beyond a single query? We look for multiple entity types, relationship traversal, field projection, and Cala acting as a genuine data backbone rather than a one-off lookup.
What did Cala replace — web scraping, a paid third-party API, manual research? The more load-bearing the swap, the higher the score.
Is Cala central to the product's value proposition, or bolted on? The best integrations make it impossible to imagine the product without it.
Can the team clearly show Cala working in their product and articulate what it unlocked?
How to stand out
- Go beyond a single query: chain multiple entity types and traverse the relationships between them.
- Make Cala load-bearing — replace a scraper, a paid API, or hours of manual research with it.
- In the demo, show Cala working live and name exactly what it unlocked.
