# Drip Me Out

> AI web app that adds diamond chains to photos using Gemini

Drip Me Out is an open-source web application that edits photos to add a diamond chain around the subject's neck. It uses Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash model for multimodal image transformation alongside Convex for backend storage and asynchronous task scheduling. It serves as both a playful portrait tool and a reference implementation for real-time AI workflows.
