WHAT TO BUILD

Build any app, tool, or experience that uses at least one of the following:

  • Gemini API — via Google AI Studio or Antigravity 
  • ElevenLabs API — for the voice side track

Your project should do at least one of these:

  • Solve a real problem (local or global)
  • Create something genuinely creative or entertaining
  • Demonstrate a novel or impressive use of the technology

Web app, mobile app, API, Chrome extension, chatbot, CLI tool — format is up to you, as long as it's functional.

WHAT TO SUBMIT

Submit your project on Devpost before 4:00 PM on August 17, 2026. Submissions must include all of the following:

  1. Project name and description — what it does, why you built it, and the problem it solves or value it creates
  2. Working demo — a live deployed link (strongly preferred) or a screen recording (maximum 3 minutes) showing the app in action
  3. Source code link — GitHub, Replit, Glitch, or any public repository
  4. Tools used — a brief note on which technologies you used and how (Gemini API, Antigravity, ElevenLabs, Firecrawl, etc.)
  5. Prize track(s) — indicate whether you're submitting for Best Use of Gemini API, Best Build with Google Antigravity, the ElevenLabs Side Track, or a combination

Incomplete submissions will not be judged.
