📅 Wednesday, 1st April | From 5:00 PM onwards

Join us for an inspiring evening at Build with AI Auckland 2026, a free in-person event featuring engaging sessions from industry experts.

🎤 Daniel King, Google just shipped its biggest AI Studio update yet a full-stack "vibe coding" experience powered by the Antigravity agent and Firebase. In the same week, they launched Stitch for AI-native UI design. Meanwhile, Vertex AI Studio's own Build mode is in preview, bringing the same prompt-to-app workflow to the enterprise. Together, these signal that Google is betting the future of software development is describing what you want, not writing code. Daniel 4x Google Cloud Trainer of the Year (Asia Pacific) and Google Developer Expert in Cloud and AI since 2018 will live demo all three tools, building apps from prompts on stage. You'll see the new AI Studio features in action database provisioning, user authentication, and full-stack deployment and compare how the same workflow plays out in Vertex AI Studio's enterprise environment. We'll explore what works, what doesn't, and whether "prompt to production" is real or just marketing. Whether you're a developer curious about vibe coding, a founder looking to prototype faster, or an enterprise team evaluating Google's AI platform this session will give you a hands-on view of where Google is heading.

🎤 Nic Tolentino, Engineering Manager at ANZ, will talk about how to grow your online presence and showcase your projects and achievements online through a professional portfolio website! Bring along your laptop with Antigravity IDE installed together with a copy of your CV, and any other career resources you have on hand for this lightning workshop where we'll take you through the step by step process of vibe coding your portfolio website and getting it hosted online in 15minutes or less (or your money back - guaranteed)!
