Building AI apps with the Google ecosystem
Workshop
The way we build software has changed. Today, the most successful developers aren't just writing code, they are orchestrating AI tools and agents to build better and faster. This hands-on session is a deep dive into this modern "Builder Stack”, where you will learn how to build with a variety of tools in the Google ecosystem.
Come to this session if you want to spend less time configuring and more time creating. We’ll guide you through a complete development lifecycle, from prototyping an idea, to generating a beautiful UI, building AI features, and integrating a secure, scalable backend.
