🎬 Lights. Camera. Code.
Calling all ecosystem architects and autonomous builders! Step onto the studio lot and transform real-world enterprise chaos into a seamless cinematic production with Gemini. Join Google Cloud and our elite, star-studded partner ecosystem for a first-of-its-kind Summer Blockbuster hackathon!
In the era of Agentic AI, writing raw lines of code is just the background noise. The real magic happens when you orchestrate the system. Whether you want to play the visionary Director building production-ready autonomous agent networks, the Technical Producer connecting secure data pipelines via managed MCP servers, or the Studio Head enforcing Cloud IAM security and governance across multi-agent workflows—the backlot is yours.
Vibe code with Gemini Enterprise and our leading partner technologies to cast the perfect enterprise tech stack and build the next generation of AI applications fit for the big screen.
🌟 Why Join?
-
Direct Your AI Crew: Get hands-on with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and cutting-edge partner tools to transition your local ideas into production-scale architectures.
-
Walk the Red Carpet: Pitch your automated production workflows directly to executive judges, enterprise experts, and elite engineering leaders.
🏆 The Box Office Prizes
There are three identical prize buckets—one for each of our featured partner tracks. Instead of a single, crowded pool, you are competing directly within the specific "studio track" of your chosen partner technology.
How to Secure the Greenlight:
-
Cast Your Co-Star: Choose the partner platform that holds the data or application workflows your agent needs to interact with.
-
Build with Gemini Enterprise: Build your agentic workflow on Google Cloud using the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Connect to your partner tool using robust enterprise pipelines, API frameworks, or managed protocol adapters.
-
Dominate Your Track: Show off a deterministic, multi-step agent that solves enterprise friction. You will be judged exclusively against other builders inside your chosen partner track.
Requirements
What to Build

đź“‹ Submission Requirements
- Include a URL to the hosted Project
- The 3-Minute Trailer (Demo Video): a demo video showing your project/agent functioning as built — not a cinematic trailer. Upload to YouTube or Vimeo, make it publicly visible, and make sure it's in English or includes English subtitles.
- Include a URL to your open-source code repository for judging and testing on either GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. It must contain all source code, assets, and instructions needed to run, and must demonstrate actual runtime use of Google Cloud and your chosen Partner's service (imported and called in code, not just named in the README)
- The repository must be public and include a complete open source license file. This license should be detectable and visible at the top of the repository page (in the About section)
- Select which partner track you'll be submitting to
- Your completed Devpost submission form
- Read the full Official Rules for detailed partner track requirements and eligibility terms

Judging Criteria
-
Technological Implementation
How well is the project built, and how effectively does it use Google Cloud and the Partner services as part of the solution? -
Design
Does the project deliver a complete, coherent product experience not just a technical proof of concept? -
Potential Impact
Does the project make a credible, specific case for solving a real problem for a real audience and does the solution actually address it based on what's demonstrated? -
Quality of the Idea
Is this a creative, non-obvious use of Google Cloud and the Partner services and does the team show genuine understanding of the problem space?
