Campaign: Built as part of the Google Cloud Gen AI Academy APAC — "Meet the Builders" campaign.
Introduction
Hello community! My name is Ananya Raj, and I am a 2nd-year B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering student. Like most tech students, I love exploring new technologies and regularly use various free AI tools to make my coding, studying, and daily work easier.
However, as AI rapidly evolves from simple chat interfaces to autonomous, production-grade agents, I wanted to take a major step forward. I wanted to escape the "it works on my machine" loop, move my code out of isolated Jupyter notebooks, and build a real-world application that can be seen and reviewed by Google Cloud experts.
That is why I joined Cohort 3 of the Gen AI Academy APAC Edition! For my very first task, I am thrilled to introduce Marketera—an intelligent, safe, and conversational marketplace designed specifically for university campuses.
