Google Gemini × note is hosting a submission contest: #AIandTravel!
[Updated November 18]
The judging results have been announced! Please check them out via the article link below.
The autumn travel season is almost here. Why not make AI, which is starting to permeate our daily lives, your travel partner to help plan your trips or communicate in the local language of your destination?
In September, we are holding another collaboration contest between Google Gemini and note! The theme is "#AIandTravel". We are looking for concrete experiences and ways to use AI, such as planning or consulting for trips, episodes where AI was useful at your destination, or methods for organizing memories into albums or travelogues.
Works eligible for judging are those themed around experiences with Google's AI, including Gemini and NotebookLM. Please share your various travel-related experiences in your posts. We look forward to receiving many entries!
