The ‘Next’ – Capturing Innovation
The era of the text-only chatbot is evolving. Focus on the bleeding edge of AI: Multimodality. Dive into the future of multimodal AI with Googlers guiding you through the Way Back Home labs. We’ll explore how to build intelligent agents that can see, hear, and respond to the world in real-time, creating immersive experiences that feel more human than ever before.

What to Expect:

• Multimodal Gemini Agents: Coordinate agents to analyze video and audio while maintaining character consistency across multi-turn image generation.
• Intelligence Beyond RAG: Move past simple retrieval with hybrid search, context engineering, and multi-agent pipelines.
• Real-Time Live Interaction: Build low-latency, interruptible agents that "see" and "hear" using the Gemini Live API and bidirectional streaming.

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