Similarities between my submission and Gemini's lastest update (Question)

Hi Google Team,

I recently noticed the exciting new features added to your Gemini, particularly the Gem manager. Coincidentally, I had submitted a project during your recent Gemini API competition that included similarities with Gemini’s latest update.


I’m genuinely curious if my submission might have inspired these updates, or if it’s a case of great minds thinking alike. Either way, I’m thrilled to see these features implemented and I have more and more creative ideas and solutions and would like to join you as a part of your creative team if you have job/training opportunities.

Thank you for your time and for continuing to innovate in the AI space!

Best regards,

A few years ago, I decided to develop a real-time translator with the help of Google Tesseract libraries. At that time there was only one application “One lens” or “Word lens” that was doing that. I thought I would develop an application that would translate the whole screen in real time. I worked hard and developed the application. However, after I released my application, I came to know that Google bought “Word lens” and also introduced real-time translation in Google Translate. That’s why I did not submit my idea where I am analyzing documents, coding partner, or similar ideas like this because I know that Google will introduce these features sooner or later.

I’m talking about the grand scheme of Gen AI based solutions here, not the specific app (though the screenshot depicts eerie similarity): I think several solutions could be covered in the future or even whole companies may become surpassed if any of the giants cover features. This is not just Google, but also Microsoft, OpenAI. I predict that Copilot and ChatGPT will have similar features too (if not already have).

When someone matches that trend is an accomplishment for sure.

yes openAi does have a similar feature but not the same modes, matter fact no other Ai solution I seen has the same modes as mine but now Gemini does and while I don’t mind it I would like to get an opportunity. I have way more projects that I had no time to make nor submit as I only knew about the Competition 4 days before the deadline and now I have made over 8 solutions powered by Gemini including Theki Ai assistant with 90+ modes, GemAds and GemAds+ for Ad generation which i submitted,and Gemo3D text to 3D in Unity engine powered by Gemini, Gemini Chrome extension, Gemini website maker, CVmini for CV design and generation, Gemetric for interior design and generation and more which I didn’t submit.
