Requirements

Submit by 2:30 PM NPT on February 27. You need:

1. Working demo - either a live link or a 2-3 minute video
2. Public GitHub repo with your code
3. Description of what you built and how you used Gemini API
4. Team name and member names

If you're building on existing code, tell us what's new vs what you had before. Only the Gemini API stuff you write during the event counts for judging.

No demo = no judging. The deadline is hard. If your live demo might break, record a backup video.

It’s time to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI using Google Gemini. Check out the Gemini API to build AI-powered apps that make your friends say WHOA. So, what can Gemini do for your hackathon project?

Understand language like a human and build a chatbot that gives personalized advice

Analyze info like a supercomputer and create an app that summarizes complex research papers

Generate creative content like code, scripts, music, and more

Think of the possibilities… what will you build with the Google Gemini API this weekend?
