I gave a talk about "Creativity and AI" at Flow Festival 2026 in Helsinki.
Because it was a music festival, I had to compose music live on stage to earn my "artist" pass!
I built an application orchestrating Gemini, Lyria 3, and Nano Banana 2 to generate
original lyrics, synthesize audio tracks, and create album cover art in real time.
Ask plain English questions about housing prices and household income across Finland's
3,000+ postal code areas. Gemini writes the SQL, BigQuery runs it, and the answer
comes back as a summary, table, chart, and Google Maps heatmap — in under 10 seconds.
Built from zero to live demo in approximately one hour. Password-protected — watch the demo video below.
Created for my kids (6 & 3 years old) so they could talk with AI safely.
Standard AI apps lack proper safety guardrails for young children, so I connected Gemini with
layered security filters, gave it a custom avatar co-designed with my kids, and let them
pick its voice with Chirp 3 HD. Built bilingually in Finnish & Spanish, with an interactive
bubble-popping minigame to keep children entertained during model response latency.
