I was fortunate to join the first Gemini API Sprints, organised by Google for Startups, with SEOCOPYLAB - The SEO Copywriting Lab! It was a full-day experience at Campus #Madrid, where a group of startups came together to build and scale products with expert support. The day began with a warm welcome from Sofía Benjumea, who reminded us of Google for Startups’ mission: empowering founders to grow stronger, together. Miguel Burguete led the sessions with clarity and energy, offering tailored guidance to each startup. We also felt supported by Tamara Lucas, Marketing Manager at #GoogleforStartups, who showed genuine interest in our projects and looked for ways to amplify our work. We explored tools such as #Gemini, #Gemma, #Imagen, #Lyria, #Veo, #GoogleAIStudio, and more. The prompting tips were key to turning ideas into real prototypes in just one day! The collaborative spirit with startups like Healmind made everything more inspiring. Google’s technical experts were always available to answer questions and guide us forward. With #SEOCOPYLAB, I began laying the foundation for our upcoming virtual assistant, designed to help brands create impactful content with clarity, creativity, and purpose. I made this video to share and relive some of those great moments, hope it brings back the energy of the day! I leave the event happy, grateful, and inspired to keep building. Thank you, Google for Startups, for making it possible.
