Inspiration

  • Classical planning systems are fast but static they optimize once and recompute blindly when constraints change. With Gemini 3’s reasoning and long-context capabilities, we were inspired to explore whether planning systems could reason about strategy, not just compute solutions.

What it does

  • Time-Fold is an adaptive planning engine that combines deterministic planning with Gemini 3–powered strategic reasoning. Instead of static optimization, it evaluates constraints, trade-offs, and long-horizon outcomes to adapt decisions in real time.

How we built it

  • How we built it The system uses a layered architecture: Deterministic planning core for constraints and state generation, Gemini 3 reasoning layer for strategy evaluation, Streamlit interface for real-time interaction, Gemini 3 is used for reasoning, long-context analysis, tool-based structured inputs, and low-latency inference.

Challenges we ran into

  • The main challenge was using Gemini 3 as a reasoning engine, not a chatbot. We also balanced deterministic guarantees with probabilistic reasoning while keeping latency low.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a fully working adaptive planning prototype
  • Integrated Gemini 3 as a core reasoning layer
  • Enabled dynamic strategy adaptation instead of recomputation

What we learned

  • We learned that combining classical solvers with AI reasoning creates more adaptive and robust decision systems. Prompt structure and context design proved critical for effective reasoning.

What's next for Time-Fold

  • Next, we plan to add multi-scenario reasoning, deeper real-world integrations, and formal evaluation against classical planners.
