Concept-first study guide — understand the ideas, then use them with any tools (June 15–19, 2026)
This site explains the ideas behind the course in plain language. Google tools (Antigravity, Gemini, ADK) are used in the labs, but the concepts work with other products too — like using the same idea of “a backpack” whether you buy from different brands.
Each day page teaches:
Recommended order from the course: podcast → whitepaper → codelabs → livestream.
Short definitions you will see all week. Each day page goes deeper.
A program that can think, choose, and act to finish a goal — not just answer one question. It might read files, call tools, run code, and try again if something fails.
Like a helper who can use your computer and the internet, not just chat.
The “brain” that understands and generates language. Examples: Gemini, GPT, Claude, Llama. The agent uses an LLM to reason; other parts give it hands, memory, and rules.
Building software by describing what you want in normal language and letting an AI write or edit the code. Fast for prototypes; still needs checking before serious use.
A program for writing code — usually a text editor plus extras (file tree, run button, debugger, AI assistant). This course uses Antigravity IDE; the same category includes VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains IDEs, and Xcode.
You type text commands in a terminal instead of clicking buttons. Good for automation, servers, and power users. This course uses Antigravity CLI (agy); similar tools include Gemini CLI, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, and plain shell scripts.
A shared plug standard so any AI client can connect to any “tool server” the same way. Stops you from writing a custom connector for every tool × every AI app.
Like USB-C: one port shape, many devices.
Code libraries and patterns for building agents (workflows, tools, memory). This course uses ADK (Agent Development Kit). Other frameworks: LangChain, CrewAI, Microsoft AutoGen, OpenAI Agents SDK.
What agents are, how vibe coding changes software building, IDEs, and getting an app online.
CLIs, APIs, MCP, and standards so agents can talk to the world.
Memory, playbooks, workflows, and not confusing the AI with too much text.
Trust, testing agent behavior, human approval, and safe coding habits.
Specs, CI/CD, deployment, and running agents for real users.
