Gemini XPRIZE: Top 100
Sophie 4.5 made the Top 100 of the Build with Gemini XPRIZE, out of 26,000 entries.
LOG · WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES
The Build with Gemini XPRIZE, presented by Google and the XPRIZE Foundation, gave builders ninety days to build a real AI business around a problem worth solving, with $2M in prizes across 25 winners. Our entry was Sophie 4.5, in the Professional Services Access category: an AI specialist for biomedical research that quantifies 200 cell-migration images in under 5 minutes, troubleshoots assays against validated protocols, and maps FDA regulatory pathways.
WHY
We had enough feedback and users that we felt ready to get out of beta, and it happened to coincide with the Gemini XPRIZE, so we used that as an excuse to build the full product.
WHAT I WORKED ON
Everything.
WHAT CAME OF IT
Top 100 out of 26,000, user growth, and more feedback, which led us to rebuild from the ground up again, into Sophie 5.0.
