AetherProof

Voice + vision AI agent that lets artists prove their work is human-made.

Built for the Google Gemini Live Agent Challenge — $25,000 Grand Prize | Deadline: March 16, 2026

Artists are losing income and recognition to AI-generated look-alikes. AetherProof lets a human artist speak to an agent, show their canvas, and receive a verifiable on-chain certificate proving the work is human-made — in real time.

How it works:

1. Artist opens AetherProof and starts a live session
2. They speak naturally: "I'm painting this landscape. Watch me work."
3. Gemini Live API analyzes the audio + live canvas feed
4. Agent confirms human creation patterns (brushstroke analysis, real-time narration, process verification)
5. A Human Touch Certificate is minted on Solana devnet — timestamped, immutable, shareable
