The "AI hype" is everywhere, but the challenge is moving from a prompt in a browser to a deployed, functional product.
Join GDG Zagreb for a hands-on technical workshop in Google’s #BuildWithAI series. We are moving past basic chat interfaces to build a real-world application layer around Gemini. We’ll start by building a YouTube Summarizer as our reference architecture, then dive into the codebase to refactor and adapt it for your own custom content-processing tools.
🏗️ Technical Roadmap
The Model Layer: Authenticating and interfacing with the Gemini API using the Google Gen AI SDK or REST endpoints.
The Application Layer: Implementing the logic to handle media inputs, transcripts, and structured prompting. Bring your own language (Python, Node.js, Go, etc.)—as long as it can be containerized, it works!
The Deployment Layer: We’ll focus heavily on Dockerizing your application and pushing it to Google Cloud Run for a live, scalable, and serverless URL.
🔄 From Reference to Reality
Audio Intelligence: Processing MP3s/Podcasts into structured show notes.
Document Synthesis: Building a "TL;DR" engine for long-form research or PDFs.
Meeting Insights: Turning raw transcripts into actionable tasks.
💻 Who Should Attend?
Have a solid grasp of at least one backend programming language.
Are comfortable with (or want to get better with) containerization and Docker.
Want to understand the practical integration of LLMs into production-ready web services.
🎒 Requirements
A laptop with your preferred dev environment and Docker installed.
A Google Cloud account (we will provide credits for the workshop).
A basic understanding of API consumption and web architecture.
⏱️ The Schedule
