Challenge

Build a Google ADK Streaming Ad Insertion & Monetization Agent

Media SaaS infrastructure platforms managing thousands of fast-channels require real-time ad slot decision engines. Build a Google ADK agent powered by Gemini models that evaluates viewer contextual signals and schedules target ad insertions with sub-200ms decision latency.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

latency_check

Verifies decision time is under 200ms

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

decision_time_ms

Execution latency for ad placement decisions • target: 140 • range: 0-1000

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
