## 🌟 About the Challenge

Welcome to **Geminathon**, where innovation meets ambition.

This challenge invites you to build **open-ended web applications powered by the Gemini API**. Whether you're creating AI copilots, productivity tools, creative platforms, educational assistants, or something entirely unexpected — the only limit is your imagination.

### 🎯 Your Mission

- 🧠 Integrate the **Gemini API** meaningfully

- 🌐 Build a functional **web-based application**

- 🚀 Solve real problems or unlock new possibilities

## 🛠 What You Can Build

Projects are **open-ended**, but must:

- ✅ Use **Gemini API keys** as a core feature

- ✅ Be a functional web-based application
