Build with AI: SeeFood: Building a "Hot Dog / Not Hot Dog" Classifier with Antig
Details
Join Ken Yesh for an interactive workshop where we’ll recreate the iconic "SeeFood" app from Silicon Valley. Moving beyond text-based AI, we will build a functional web application that uses multimodal intelligence to classify images.
This session is designed as a guided build-along, focusing on how "agent-first" tools like Google Antigravity can accelerate the move from a product concept to a working MVP.
What we’ll build together
The Interface: Use Antigravity to scaffold a modern web UI with an image upload and preview system.
The Intelligence: Connect your app to Gemini 2.5 Flash to perform instant, multimodal image analysis and classification.
The Deployment: If time and prompt tokens allow, we’ll use Antigravity’s agentic features to streamline the process of pushing our project live to Google Cloud (Cloud Run).
You’ll leave the session with a functional AI application and a practical understanding of how to orchestrate autonomous agents to handle the heavy lifting of modern development.
Requirements
Laptop with the Antigravity application installed.
A Google Cloud account (free tier eligible).
A Gemini API Key from Google AI Studio (strongly recommended to generate this before the session).
