**The Challenge:** Your mission is to build a product, application, or demo that showcases one or more of these core strengths. Think beyond simple text-to-image. How can these advanced features create a magical user experience?

Consider applications that:
- Enhance dynamic storytelling (e.g., consistent character comics).
- Revolutionize e-commerce (e.g., virtual room placement or product visualization).
- Automate creative workflows (e.g., personalized marketing assets at scale).
- Build the next generation of natural language photo editors.

**Accelerate Your Build: Leverage AI Studio Apps** 

We encourage participants to leverage AI Studio apps. In the [Build tab of AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/apps), you can easily and quickly build advanced applications with the Gemini API, allowing you to move rapidly from idea to function prototype. AI Studio apps can quickly be re-mixed, saved to GitHub or deploy to Cloud Run. You can also find existing templates to get started.

**API Limitations** 

Please note the special tier for the Gemini API will allow **20 images per minute and 500 requests per project per day**. Developers using a paid API key will pay for all their usage. To get the free 500 generations, please use a free tier API key.
