Build and Deploy your own AI-Powered {product}

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
This isn't just a tutorial; it’s a build session. We will focus on the end-to-end lifecycle of an AI microservice:

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. We'll use Python (Flask) for backend and a little bit of HTML for basic frontend.

The Deployment Layer: We’ll cover Dockerizing your application and pushing it to Google Cloud Run for a live, scalable, and serverless URL.

🔄 From Reference to Reality
Once we have the baseline YouTube Summarizer live, the workshop shifts to a "spinoff" phase. You’ll have the autonomy to refactor the logic to create a specialized tool of your choice, for example:

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?
This workshop is designed for developers and tech professionals who:

Have a basic understanding of full-stack development.

Want to understand the practical integration of LLMs into production-ready web services.

🎒 Requirements

A Google Cloud account (we'll provide credits and instructions on how to activate them).

A working computer with wifi

A curious mind.
