CANDI - Cloud Defense Intelligence Platform

#googleaichallenge #gemini #ai #hackathon

AI-powered military logistics and security command center built with Google Cloud & Gemini 3.

Military logistics represents one of the world's most complex supply chain systems. The U.S. Department of Defense alone loses $10+ billion annually to supply chain inefficiencies. This app demonstrates how Google Cloud's advanced capabilities can transform this critical sector.

Cloud Defense Analytics showcases three key insights from my Google Cloud Digital Leader certification journey:

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION: We consolidated siloed legacy systems into a unified cloud data warehouse, reducing waste from 40% to 15% through real-time visibility and automated insights.
PREDICTIVE AI: Using Gemini 3's multimodal reasoning, the app analyzes logistics documents and photos to predict supply chain failures before they impact operations—mimicking how Google Cloud's Vertex AI helps organizations make data-driven decisions at scale.
ZERO TRUST SECURITY: Implementing strict IAM controls and encryption ensures only authorized personnel access sensitive military data, protecting national security while maintaining operational agility.

Why This Matters:
Modern defense organizations need technology that matches geopolitical complexity. This app proves that Gemini 3's advanced reasoning and
multimodality can solve problems that were impossible to tackle with traditional tools.

The application is built entirely using vibe coding principles in Google AI Studio, demonstrating how non-technical military planners can rapidly prototype solutions that bridge the gap between strategy and technology.
