To participate in the competition, the teams had to develop an innovative project using Firebase Studio and Gemini API technologies. Specifically, the task was to create a mobile app powered by artificial intelligence.
The TerraVibe app, developed by the participants from Turkmenistan, uses a camera to analyze the condition of a plant and, using AI, to identify damaged or defective areas from an image.
