About this event

The era of the "generic chatbot" is over. We are entering the phase of Personalized AI Agents—intelligent systems that don't just talk, but act, reason, and solve complex business problems.

Join us for a full-day immersive hands-on experience designed for developers, architects, and technical decision makers. Deep dive into the Google Cloud AI ecosystem and go from concept to production-ready AI Agents.

What you’ll learn:

  • Master Gemini 3.0 & ADK: Use the latest Agent Development Kit (ADK) to architect autonomous agents that orchestrate complex, multi-step enterprise tasks.

  • Build Knowledge-Driven Systems: Learn to anchor AI by bridging the gap between LLMs and your proprietary data using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Vector Search.

  • Optimize Your Workflow with AntiGravity: Experience the next evolution of DevOps. Discover how AntiGravity and GenAI tools radically compress your development lifecycle.

  • Scale with Cloud Run : We will get to focus on critical deployment patterns: setting up GPU-enabled Cloud Run services, integrating model backends with ADK agents, and observing autoscaling behavior under load.

Secure your place now and be at the forefront of the next agentic AI revolution!

To join the Codelabs, you must bring your own laptop and power cable. The activities are intended for laptops and cannot be completed on a tablet or phone.
