I’m aware that the answer is probably no but still wanted to make sure. Can I build an application using MediaPipe’s on-device solutions and participate in the contest?
According to the official rules, the use of additional Google developer technologies is optional, and they include Flutter, Android, Chrome/Web, ARCore, or Firebase. MediaPipe is not mentioned in these optional technologies, so it is not explicitly allowed or disallowed in the rules.
However, the key requirement is to create a new and innovative product or service that integrates a publicly available Gemini model via the Gemini API. As long as your primary integration involves the Gemini API and meets all other submission requirements, the inclusion of MediaPipe’s on-device solutions should not disqualify your application.
For the most definitive guidance, please refer to the official rules here.
