Understanding and describing locations is essential for navigation, tourism, and smart applications. This talk explores how Google Gemini API can generate AI-powered location descriptions from latitude and longitude. We’ll cover the technical workflow, including API integration, real-world applications, and a live demo. Attendees will gain insights into leveraging AI for location intelligence and practical use cases for web applications and Chrome extensions.

Multi-Platform Agentic Apps: Powering Flutter with Autonomous AI

In this lab, you will go beyond simple chatbots and build a distributed multi-agent system.
While a single LLM can answer questions, real-world complexity often requires specialized roles. You don't ask your backend engineer to design the UI, and you don't ask your designer to optimize database queries. Similarly, we can create specialized AI agents that focus on one task and coordinate with each other to solve complex problems.

This is going to be a somewhat unique workshop. Want to vibe code something using #Gemini4Argon? But don't have the right subscription? No worries! We'll be vibe coding stuff together using Allen's Antigravity setup! Let's explore and discuss the best ways to use Antigravity as we create some fun examples.
