Important note: please sign up on the Google Developer Group platform to attend the meetup: https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-cloud-zurich-presents-gdg-cloud-zurich-build-with-ai-1/

Join the GDG Cloud Zürich to learn AI skills during ​a practical workshop alongside your local developer community. ​Use Google's integrated AI stack to solve real-world challenges, following a practical path from your first click to a fully deployed application.

​Peer-to-Peer Guidance by the Google Developer Organizers and local leads who share their honest experience building in the AI ecosystem. Google Developer Groups (GDGs) bring together local developers and technologists, from beginner to advanced, to connect, learn, and grow with Google's technologies and experts.

This workshop is intended for developers, architects, and engineers interested in Google Cloud technologies.

Workshop details
Track 1
Title: Design-to-Code with Antigravity and Stitch MCPDescription: Build a production-ready website by bridging AI-driven design with an agent-first development environment. You will use Google Stitch to generate a high-fidelity UI, then connect it to the Antigravity IDE via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Finally, you will use an autonomous agent to fetch the "Design DNA" and implement a pixel-perfect React application.

Track 2
Title: Build a Multimodal AI Agent with Graph RAG, ADK & Memory BankDescription: Build an intelligent disaster response system by combining a graph database with multimodal AI and multi-agent orchestration. You will use Cloud Spanner Graph and Gemini embeddings to build a Survivor Network Database with hybrid search, then visualize the complex relationships using a React and Three.js frontend. Finally, you will use the Agent Development Kit (ADK) to coordinate specialized workflows and integrate the Vertex AI Memory Bank to enable long-term, personalized interactions.

Join the GDG Cloud Zürich community for an evening of technical talks on Google Cloud, real-world insights, and networking with local practitioners.

This meetup is intended for developers, architects, and engineers working with Google Cloud technologies.

Talk details
Talk 1
Title: Ship features, not firewall rules: Abstracting GCP for speedSpeaker: Norwin Metzger, SanitasDescription: 80% of Sanitas’ workloads run on Google Cloud. To enable approximately 15 development teams to maximize business value, the Cloud Competence Center (CCC) abstracts away infrastructure and CI/CD complexity as much as possible. The CCC Product Owner will explain the challenges development teams face today and how the CCC continuously works to improve the developer experience at Sanitas.

Talk 2
Title: Directly from Vegas, the SRE extension, baked in Zürich, is live!Speaker: Ricc & Ramón, Google
