Build With AI Hack Days @DIU is a fast-paced, in-person mini hackathon where students from Daffodil International University (DIU) comes together to build real AI-powered apps using Google's most powerful developer tools — all in a single afternoon.

This isn't a workshop. You get credits, tools, and time to build something that actually works and ships. Whether you're solving a local problem, exploring a wild idea, or just want to see what Gemini can do — this is your runway.

Organized by Machine Learning Bangladesh, with support from Major League Hacking (MLH) and powered by Google for Developers, participants will get direct, hands-on access to the Gemini API, Google Cloud, Vertex AI, and Google AI Studio. No prior cloud experience needed. Just bring your laptop and your ideas.

About the challenge

Two prizes. One afternoon. Build something that makes people say WHOA.

Best Use of Gemini API — Show what Gemini can actually do beyond a basic chat box. Build a personalized advice tool, a research summarizer, a creative content generator, a code assistant — anything that uses the Gemini API in a genuinely meaningful or surprising way. Think of the possibilities: Gemini can understand language like a human, analyze information like a supercomputer, and generate creative content like code, scripts, music, and more.

Best App Deployed on Google Cloud — Get it live and working for the world, not just your laptop. Use Cloud Run, App Engine, Firebase Hosting, or any Google Cloud service to deploy a real, functional app during the event. The sky isn't the limit. The Cloud is.

You can compete for both prizes with the same project.
