Winners Built With Firestore

An app that suggests what you can build with the bricks you own. It recognises parts from photos to build an inventory, and once you pick a theme and difficulty the AI generates a 3D build sequence. A physics engine checks it for overlaps and floating pieces, reports the faults and makes the AI redo it, up to three times.

A platform linking museums and visitors. From a painting's image, AI writes commentary at three difficulty levels in several languages, delivered as an audio guide. Preferences left on each work are matched against embeddings to suggest what to see next and where it hangs, while museums see a per-work view of how pieces land.

An AI partner for finding things around the house. It watches the room at intervals, keeping a log of footage, so asked where the keys are it reports not just a place but a state, such as hidden under a magazine. If they are absent, it reasons from calendar entries to suggest candidates, and turns its camera with a servo.

A tool for primary and junior high teachers who lose hours each week writing class newsletters. Teachers just talk to it: the AI asks back for missing details, assembles the draft, and outputs HTML or PDF laid out to survive A4 printing. Because it keeps the paper habit intact, even teachers uneasy with IT can adopt it.

A service that hands quotation work, long the preserve of veteran staff in woodworking shops, over to AI agents. The job is split into stages: read the PDF drawing, identify items and quantities, price the materials, produce the quote. At each stage a person checks, corrects and approves the AI's draft before it moves on.

An agent for foreign visitors caught in an earthquake or typhoon in Japan, unable to read the warnings or tell where to evacuate. Drawing on official meteorological and geospatial data plus preparedness guides, it delivers alerts, shelter directions and ready-to-send safety messages in the user's own language.

A phone and tablet recipe app built around the annoyances of cooking: messy hands, jargon you keep looking up, paper recipes you cannot use. A wake word starts voice control that answers instantly from a local model, and questions about terms or substitutions are handled with RAG. Photograph a magazine page and it becomes data.

A web service linking the owner of a lost pet with whoever spots it. One agent reads images, another predicts behaviour, and together they estimate from weather, time of day and terrain where the animal is likely to be, drawing it as a heat map. Finders' photos are auto-matched by similarity, and both sides can chat directly.

An end-to-end teaching assistant for new English teachers at tablet-equipped junior high schools. It spans lesson prep, the class itself, automatic quiz generation and grading, and per-student feedback. Classroom audio is transcribed so questions match what was taught, and wrong answers are analysed class-wide.
