Sketch & Search: Google Deepmind x Qdrant x Freepik Hackathon Winners

Builders from around the world came together for Sketch & Search, a global hackathon powered by Google DeepMind, Freepik, and Qdrant, to explore the future of AI-driven creative pipelines. Teams were challenged to go beyond single-prompt generation and build end-to-end systems combining generative models, visual creation, and vector search. Submissions showcased consistent characters and style memory, image-as-prompt and image-to-video workflows, intelligent asset discovery, recommendations, and built-in brand-safe guardrails.
