| 1:30 AM | Eyes for the Smart City: YOLO and COCO in Action | Smart Cities begin with vision, the ability to observe and respond as events happen. In this talk, we will introduce the basics of YOLO (You Only Look Once), a fast and efficient AI model for real-time object detection, and the COCO dataset, the standard benchmark for training.
We’ll keep things simple and practical, just enough to understand how machines learn to recognize people, vehicles, and everyday objects.
Then we’ll connect the dots to Smart City applications, from traffic monitoring and pedestrian safety to waste management and security. By the end of this short session, you’ll see how a model like YOLO, trained on COCO, becomes the foundation for smarter, more responsive urban spaces. |
| 1:50 AM | When AI Gets Weird: From Principles to Prototypes in Human-Centered Design | AI can be powerful, but it can also get weird. Producing outputs that are irrelevant, funny, or even harmful. In this talk, we’ll explore how human-centered design principles help us guide AI toward useful, trustworthy results. We’ll move from principles to prototypes with live demos using tools like Figma Make and Stitch with Google, showing practical ways to apply what you learn. By the end, you’ll see how AI can become a creative partner rather than a confusing black box. |
| 2:20 AM | Agentic AI with Google's Agent Development Kit and Firebase | AI is moving beyond simple chatbots into agentic AI. Agents that can reason, plan, and take action on behalf of users. Rather than simply responding to queries, these agents can proactively execute tasks, connect with tools, and adapt based on context.
This session will explore how to build intelligent agents using Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) together with Firebase. It will highlight how Firebase provides the foundation for memory, persistence, and real-time interactions that enable agents to deliver real value.
A demo project will be shown: Smart Customer Engagement Agent for SMEs, will demonstrate how ADK and Firebase can be combined to create agents that are both capable and practical.
By the end of the session, attendees will see how Firebase can serve not just as a backend, but as the knowledge base, identity layer, and action hub that powers agentic AI. |

| 5:00 AM | Plenary hall: Intro to Multimodal Live API with Gen AI SDK | This session is a hands-on guide to creating and launching an AI agent using Agent Engine, a key component of Google's Vertex AI platform. We will walk you through the process of building an agent from scratch, equipping it with the necessary tools, and then seamlessly deploying it to a fully managed, scalable production environment |

| 5:00 AM | Breakroom Basement 2: PWA for Digital Transformation | Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)
Google has been a pioneering force in the development and promotion of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) since coining the term in 2015. As the creators of the Chrome browser, Google championed PWAs to bridge the gap between traditional websites and native mobile/desktop apps, leveraging modern web standards like service workers, web app manifests, and HTTPS. This allows web experiences to feel more native—think offline access, push notifications, and home screen installation—while remaining accessible via any browser. PWAs align with Google's "mobile-first" philosophy, reducing development costs and improving user engagement without app store barriers. |
| 6:40 AM | Breakroom Basement 1: Gemini AI and Blockchain, On Chain Analysis | This presentation explores how large language models can revolutionize blockchain analysis. Traditional tools often struggle with the vast and complex nature of on-chain data. We'll show how Google's Gemini, with its advanced ability to understand different data types and solve tough problems, provides a powerful new way to analyze the blockchain.
The session will introduce a new approach that uses Gemini to process all kinds of data, including raw on-chain transactions, smart contract code, and even social media posts. We will use a real-life example of finding ""wash trading"" to show how this combination can find hidden patterns that old methods miss. This new way not only flags bad activity but also creates a simple report that explains the reasons, which is important for being open and following rules. |
| 6:40 AM | Plenary hall: No Code Vibe Coding | Learn how to bring your app ideas to life without a single line of code! This seminar will show you how to use a No-Code AI App Builder to quickly design, build, and launch powerful applications. Whether you're a developer, business owner, a creative, or just curious, you'll discover how to leverage the power of AI to turn your vision into a reality. |
| 6:40 AM | Breakroom Basement 2: Web Vitals & Days of Future Past | The web continues its march towards richer, more intuitive, and increasingly intelligent user experiences. ""Web Vitals & Days of Future Past"" delves into the pivotal announcements from Google I/O 2025, illuminating the new features and paradigms that are fundamentally reshaping how we craft and engage with interfaces across the web.
This narrative highlights a significant shift towards more declarative and native UI components, empowering developers to achieve complex interactions with remarkably less JavaScript. We'll explore the exciting debut of features like declarative popovers (powered by the new Interest Invoker API), which enable sophisticated hover cards and tooltips without boilerplate code. The simplification of building common patterns like carousels using new CSS primitives demonstrates a commitment to making formerly complex UI patterns accessible and performant by default.
Furthermore, we'll decode how AI is becoming an indispensable partner in the UI development workflow, with advancements such as AI assistance directly integrated into Chrome DevTools for debugging and optimization, and new capabilities that leverage generative AI to assist with aspects of design and code generation. The emphasis is on accelerating development velocity, enhancing accessibility, and providing foundational building blocks that empower developers to focus on creativity.
Ultimately, this abstract maps the current trajectory of web UI, offering a clear vision of how the latest innovations from Google I/O 2025 are making the web a more dynamic, efficient, and AI-augmented canvas for designers and developers alike. |
