The era of "Chatbots that Read" is ending. We are entering the era of Agentic Vision and Autonomous Interoperability. 🚀

In this hands-on workshop, we aren't just building a bot, but we are implementing Deterministic AI Engineering. You’ll learn how to build a system that doesn't just "guess"; it investigates, codes, and transacts.

Join us as we dive into the blueprint of the autonomous economy using Google’s latest "bleeding-edge" stack. 🛠️

🏗️ What We’re Building

We will "awaken" a multi-agent system, giving it senses, memory, and the ability to talk to other AI:

• 👁️ The Eyes (Vision Agent): Use Gemini 3 Flash with Code Execution. Instead of guessing, your agent will write Python code (OpenCV) to count and verify visual data deterministically.

• 🧠 The Memory (Supplier Agent): Power your agents with AlloyDB AI and ScaNN. Learn how to perform near-instant semantic vector searches across millions of records.

• 🤝 The Handshake (A2A Protocol): Implement the brand-new Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol. Watch as your Vision Agent autonomously discovers and orders stock from your Supplier Agent without human intervention.

🎓 What You’ll Learn

• How to set up AlloyDB with vector embeddings for high-speed AI memory. ⚡

• Implementing the Think-Act-Observe loop in Gemini 3 Flash. 🔄

• Deploying a Multi-Agent Orchestrator using the A2A standard. 🌐

• Transitioning from "Generative AI" to "Agentic AI." 📈

📋 Prerequisites

• A laptop with a modern browser (Chrome preferred). 💻

• Basic familiarity with Python and SQL. 🐍

• A Google Cloud project with billing enabled (we will provide credits/links where possible!). ☁️
