What is it?
This webinar is for early-stage or non-tech founders who are keen to explore AI tools that can take their ideas into a working product.
What can I expect?
We’ll start with Google AI Studio, showing how you can quickly prototype and iterate using the latest AI models, including Gemini 3.0, without needing to write code. From there, we’ll explain how to take your prototype live by deploying to Cloud Run, and how Firebase and Google Cloud Platform support essential features like authentication and data storage.
You’ll also see how to push your project to GitHub, with AI-generated prompts to help explain source control and even draft a README. We’ll also introduce Antigravity, a new agentic IDE, as a next step for founders ready to go deeper.
This session is perfect for early-stage founders looking for a fast, low-friction way to start building with AI.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session.
What is Google AI Studio?
Google AI Studio is a web-based platform for everyone to prototype, experiment with, and build applications using Google's powerful Gemini family of generative AI models.
What is Google Antigravity?
Google Antigravity is our new agentic development platform, evolving the IDE into the agent-first era by combining a familiar, AI-powered coding experience with a new agent-first interface. This cross-platform solution is compatible with MacOS, Windows, and Linux, offering model optionality with generous rate limits on Gemini 3 Pro, and full support for Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.5 and OpenAI's GPT-OSS.
