This submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge focuses on an AI Product Quality Inspector application. The software utilizes computer vision to help users inspect products for quality issues before they are sold or delivered, rather than checking each product manually. The tool allows users to upload an image, and the AI processes the image to provide a quality assessment.

Built using Python, Streamlit, and Google's Gemini API, the application's source code is available on GitHub for others to learn from and build upon.
