Hands-On Workshop Series-2: Build with Gemma 4

From Product Development to Deep Dive and Mastery

Join this hands-on workshop series designed for developers, AI enthusiasts, and builders who want to learn how to create real-world AI applications using Gemma 4. Across three progressive workshops, participants will gain practical experience building, testing, and refining AI-powered products while exploring the capabilities and advanced techniques of Gemma 4.

All hands-on development activities will be conducted using Antigravity, an agentic coding environment that helps developers accelerate AI application development.

What you will master across the series:

  • Build with Gemma 4: Learn how to build applications and leverage agentic coding workflows to massively increase development productivity.

  • Deep-Dive Technical Sessions: Explore the inner mechanics, boundaries, and hidden capabilities of the Gemma 4 architecture.

  • Production-Ready AI Solutions: Master software engineering best practices for creating robust, secure, and scalable AI applications.

Through live coding demonstrations, guided exercises, and interactive discussions, attendees will gain practical experience using both Gemma 4 and Antigravity to transform ideas into working AI applications. Participants who virtually attend and successfully complete each workshop will receive a Workshop Completion Certificate recognizing their participation and achievement.

Designing the AI User Experience

Session Abstract:

The hardest part of building an AI application isn't the math—it's making sure human users actually enjoy using it. This session focuses entirely on the human element of AI. We will explore how to design applications where Gemma 4 responds gracefully, handles mistakes politely, and guides users clearly. Using the Antigravity platform, we will look at real-world interface examples and practice designing the conversational "flow" of an AI agent to ensure it feels helpful rather than frustrating.
