Your objective is:Build a generative AI application using Google Gemini on Google Cloud. We encourage submissions that reflect one of the four focus areas listed below. You are free to use your preferred frameworks like LangChain or Firebase. Your core solution must utilize a Gemini foundation model such as Gemini 3 Pro or the Gemini API.Agentic AI, build solutions where agents use Gemini reasoning capabilities to solve complex problems.
