Sketch & Search: Freepik × Qdrant Hackathon Kickoff
Sketch & Search: Freepik × Qdrant Hackathon Kickoff
Combine image/video generation and vector search to build a creative pipeline that ships beautiful and trustable content.
Join us to learn how to blend Freepik’s image and video generation studio with Qdrant’s vector search engine. We'll show you how to craft creative pipelines with consistent characters, ensure brand-safe assets, master style memory, and accelerate your content creation.
And this is just the beginning! The fun continues all week with a virtual hackathon where you’ll have the chance to collaborate, experiment, and showcase your brilliant ideas.
Whether you’re a designer, developer, or just someone who loves pushing creative boundaries, this is the perfect opportunity to unleash your imagination.
Learn to:
• Use Freepik’s image/video studio + image-as-prompt and img→video
• Find the content you need and keep characters/styles consistent with Qdrant's vector search engine
• Add brand/copyright guardrails and tune speed/quality/cost
