    Speaker: Vlad Kolesnikov, Developer Relations Engineer at Google

    In this webinar abstract, you'll learn how to leverage Google's cutting-edge tools—Agent Development Kit (ADK), Veo 3, and Nano Banana—to create sophisticated generative video agents. We'll show you how to build a unified workflow that combines the strengths of each platform, from generating hyper-realistic 3D assets to producing dynamic, cinematic video content. By the end of this session, you'll have the knowledge to build intelligent agents that can automate the entire video production pipeline, opening up new possibilities for creative storytelling, marketing, and more.

    Key Takeaways
    - Google ADK: This toolkit simplifies the creation of smart AI agents, enabling them to reason, remember information, and interact with other models and tools.

    - Veo 3: Google's advanced video generation model turns text prompts and images into high-quality, high-resolution videos with native audio and realistic motion.

    - Nano Banana: Known officially as Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, this tool is a fast, highly realistic image-to-3D model generator that's perfect for creating consistent characters and assets.

    Keep Learning and Building!

    Speaker: Sheamus McGovern, Founder | Engineer of ODSC AI

    ***
    This 2-hour intensive session provides a foundational and practical guide to the burgeoning field of prompt engineering. As large language models become a core part of professional workflows, the ability to communicate with them effectively is crucial. This course will demystify the art and science of crafting powerful prompts.

    We'll move beyond simple queries and introduce you to the fundamentals of structured prompting, showing you how small changes can lead to dramatically better results. You will learn to optimize your prompts for clarity, specificity, and control to ensure the AI delivers the responses you need.

    By the end of this session, you'll be able to:
    - Recognize the limitations of basic prompting and avoid common trial-and-error pitfalls.
    - Apply key prompting techniques for enhanced control, accuracy, and repeatable results.
    - Understand the shift to programmatic prompt engineering, exploring how templates and automation optimize AI workflows.
    - Power advanced AI applications like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Agentic AI.
    - Improve AI reasoning and decision-making, learning how advanced techniques can reduce hallucinations and improve logical output.
