From Restaurant Chaos to AI Innovation: Holly's Game-Changing Journey

Hi, I'm Holly. I moved from South Korea to the US in 2005. Food has always been something we love to do in our family. [music] So, I decided to open a restaurant.

But, running a restaurant so hard. I discovered [music] Gemini could help

me with a lot of things. From menus to marketing, budgeting, >> [music] >> [music] >> and inventory. How much sesame oil did you remember last month? Last month, you

ordered 5 gallons. I even rebuilt our [music] website with Autograder and Stitch to include a custom chatbot for our customers. But, one day, [music]

we needed to find a dishwasher very last minute, and that was my aha moment.

>> [music] >> I wanted to help small businesses and people find each other faster. So, I got a small team together, and we used Gemini models to build an inclusive hiring [music] platform called WorkOnward. And we did what other job

sites are not doing. We translated job postings and I [music] made it possible to post jobs just by text. It helps break down barriers for those who aren't tech-savvy and help people find [music] their place.

Our little tool is a now a platform [music] used by over 13,000 people in New York City. It's about [music] honoring the dignity of workers and small businesses, and I think that's the power of AI.
