As part of the global Build with AI 2026 campaign, GDG Cloud Abuja is hosting a hands-on, community-powered AI experience designed to help developers prototype, build, and deploy real-world AI applications using Google’s latest technologies.

Featured Hands-On Sessions (3 Power Topics)

1. Vibe Code with Gemini in Google AI Studio (Tomiwa Philip)

Step into the future of AI development with an immersive hands-on session on building intelligent applications using Gemini in Google AI Studio. Learn how to rapidly prototype, experiment, and create AI-powered experiences without complex setup or heavy infrastructure.

At this comprehensive workshop, participants learn:

• How to use Google AI Studio for rapid AI prototyping

• Practical prompt engineering techniques for better AI responses

• Building interactive AI-powered applications with Gemini models

• Testing, refining, and iterating prompts for real-world use cases

• Best practices for improving AI accuracy, creativity, and performance

• How developers and startups can leverage Gemini to build faster and smarter

  
  

2. Building and Evaluating Production-Ready Multi-Agent Systems (Mustapha Adekunle)

By the end of this comprehensive workshop, participants will be able to:

• Architect and Build Specialized Agents: Differentiate between monolithic prompts and specialized systems, design single-responsibility agents, and integrate external APIs with structured output validation (Pydantic).

• Orchestrate Multi-Agent Workflows: Connect agents using the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, and implement complex orchestration patterns including sequential workflows, feedback loops (LoopAgent), and hierarchical compositions.

• Deploy and Test Safely in Production: Deploy distributed agent systems to Google Cloud Run, configure inter-agent communications, and utilize Cloud Run revision tags for shadow deployment to test agents without affecting live users.

• Evaluate Systems Systematically: Transition from simple "vibe checks" to data-driven assessments using LLM-as-a-Judge concepts. Implement specific metrics using Vertex AI (e.g., hallucination detection, adaptive rubrics, and custom trajectory-based metrics for tool usage).

• Automate CI/CD Evaluation Pipelines: Automate multi-agent evaluations in Cloud Build, establishing continuous deploy-assess-promote workflows and rollback strategies for failed evaluations.
  
  

3. Architecting Multimodal, Event-Driven Applications with Google Antigravity (Mileke Kolawole)

The era of the "manual" IDE is evolving. Antigravity is Google’s agent-first development environment designed to turn architectural intent into production-ready reality.

In this session, we go from zero to a fully deployed, event-driven serverless application on Google Cloud. We’ll start by mastering the Antigravity Mission Control paradigm, configuring agents to handle web research and full-stack generation. Then, we raise the stakes: using AI agents to plan, design, and script the infrastructure for a Go-based Cloud Run service. Attendees will witness the power of Gemini on Vertex AI for multimodal document analysis, all while using Antigravity’s Walkthrough artifacts to verify the entire pipeline.

Key Takeaways:

• Agent Mastery: Configure and customize Antigravity agents for research, coding, and testing.

• Architectural Intelligence: Transition from high-level planning to AI-generated Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC).
  

Why You Should Attend:

Attendees will work directly with modern AI tools, build functional applications, and gain valuable technical experience through guided coding sessions and interactive workshops. Participants will also receive access to Google Cloud credits, codelabs, and curated workshop materials to support continued learning beyond the event.

Beyond the technical sessions, the event creates an opportunity to connect and collaborate with some of Lagos and Abuja’s leading AI developers, cloud engineers, and technology professionals. By the end of the sessions, participants will have built portfolio-ready AI projects and gained practical exposure to modern AI workflows, cloud deployment, and intelligent application development.
