so a couple months ago i wrote this post — "I didn't win the Gemma 4 challenge but here's what I actually learned."
well turns out the sequel is more fun. ScreenMind just took first prize (Open Track) at the Build with Gemma 4 hackathon on Kaggle.
i submitted it honestly not expecting much. same project. same idea. different hackathon. but this time it clicked.
what even changed?
honestly? not that much. the core features — MCP server, agent builder, meeting transcription, obsidian/notion sync — were all already there when i wrote the "didn't win" post. the project that "lost" and the project that "won" are basically the same project.
