Stop configuring and start building.

The hardest part of any new project is getting the initial infrastructure off the ground. In the second session of our Google I/O Extended series, we are taking the friction out of development. We will explore the latest updates to Google AI Studio, focusing on how to use AI to write, test, and ship your ideas instantly.

Whether you are writing your first lines of code or you are a seasoned cloud engineer looking to rapidly prototype a new architecture, this session will show you how to leverage AI to handle the boilerplate so you can focus on the core logic. You will walk away having built and deployed a live, shareable application on Google Cloud.

What We Will Cover:

• Prompt Engineering in Build Mode: Learn how to use natural language prompts in Google AI Studio to generate a complete React frontend and Node.js backend.

• Seamless Database Integration: See how AI Studio intelligently provisions Firebase Auth, Firestore, or Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL to handle your app's data layer automatically.

• The Google Cloud Starter Tier: Discover how to deploy your first two applications to a fully managed Cloud Run environment completely free, without needing a billing account.

• Scaling Up: Discuss how to smoothly transition your prototype to a standard Google Cloud project when it is ready for production traffic.
