A writing challenge ! :-D. DEFINITELY trying this challenge <3
Good luck!
Thank you !
Quick question: if my article is fully in English and the app interface is also in English, but the AI-generated insights are in Ukrainian for its target audience, is it still eligible for prize consideration?
@ben @jess cc
@curiousvlxd not a problem!
Hello, nice to meet you.
I’m a software developer, lead a small team and looking to expand my business. For this, I’m seeking local business partners who can support operations in their region.
No special technical skills are required. This is a paid monthly role, and we highly value passion, honesty, and responsibility.
All positions are fully remote, part-time (1–2 hours per day), and percentage-based, offering flexibility to work from anywhere and at any time. There are also strong opportunities for long-term growth and ongoing collaboration.
If you’re interested, I’d be happy to discuss the details further.

Thank you.
Awesome 😍 😍😍
You and me both!
Can I write about several projects in one post? I've been using Gemini CLI a lot these days in older projects
Yes, definitely!
Oh wow, how exciting!!! What a cool prize!!!
I'm really looking forward to reading everyone's posts. Good luck!
I'm thrilled we're able to offer such a cool prize for a writing challenge - this is a first!
This is a nice framing for a challenge - especially the emphasis on reflection instead of just showcasing outputs.
What I find interesting about using Gemini (or any LLM) in these projects is that the most valuable part usually isn’t what you build, but where it breaks: prompt boundaries, evaluation gaps, tooling friction, and the moments where the model’s strengths force you to rethink your own architecture.
Treating the write-up as a post-mortem rather than a demo recap feels like the right direction. Curious to see submissions that go beyond “here’s my app” and actually unpack the engineering decisions behind it.
@lhabacuc couldn't agree more. I think you're going to really like one of the new writing features we're piloting internally and are hoping to launch in a few weeks. 👀 Surfacing this exact decision flow is critical to understanding software these days.
This definitely made me curious 👀
Does this visualization focus more on transparency of the reasoning process, or on supporting more structured writing?
Another LLM challenge, another idea from the past (1987), that will be interesting.
My submission doesn't show up in Latest Entries, so posting it here :)

I think the template linked here has the wrong tags -- swap out
mlhreflectionsforgeminireflections(that's what the template link from dev.to/challenges/mlh-built-with-g... uses)I just added geminireflections. weird. I used the template when creating this article :)
let's see if it pops up. thanks!
This was a really nice writing challenge. My first dive into LLMs wasn't as a coding partner or a chat bot, it was as a tool to help my automated matching system better understand the films that are on at cinemas. Gemini made that really simple to try out.
Since then, I've grown to use LLMs more and more (generating code, documenting systems, managing priorities), but I want to keep that foundation: the right tool for the right job, not LLMs for everything. You can read my writeup of how I use Gemini in Clusterflick in Three Things I Learned Using LLMs in a Data Pipeline
With Gemini, I was expecting a coding challenge or a hackathon, but its interesting to see an Article Writing challenge using an LLM, does that mean the prize goes to the writer, or the LLM (which wrote it)? food for thought 🤔
This is exactly the kind of hands-on breakdown the AI community needs more of.
Honestly underrated post 💎 You just earned a follow 👆
Hell yeah!
Swift, thanks for the thoughtful reply on Join the "Built with Google Gemini: Writing Challenge" Presented by Major League Hacking (MLH). Win a Raspberry Pi AI Kit!.
You are right to focus on security details. The high-leverage pattern is layered defense: strict secrets handling, least-privilege access, dependency hygiene, and explicit runtime monitoring. One missing layer is usually what gets exploited.
If you want, I can turn this into a practical step-by-step checklist.

a question @jess @ben , can I write about a project that I built in google AI studio for this challenge?
@saloni0512 you may!
Trying....
Only Gemini cli project or can we also mentioned the project that we make using Google ai studio
submitted!
Well, I’ve submitted my entry. Is there a Discord server for this challenge where I can get updates?
Thanks for sharing! Excited to participate.
its challenging , meh
Can't wait to see everyone's project writeups
Just sent my submission
All the best everyone
Gonna participate in the challenge for sure!
Oh wow
nice
Just posted, it was a lot of fun writing. Great way to reflect!
