AI Builders Lab | Google for Developers x Hack2skill

Introduction

Welcome to the AI Builders Lab, an initiative powered by Google for Developers in partnership with Hack2skill! Our mission is to empower students and developers with the incredible capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) through hands-on experiences. Whether you're a beginner in the AI landscape or already experienced in AI projects, you're bound to learn something valuable in this session.

Overview of the AI Builders Lab

The AI Builders Lab initiative is designed to make AI accessible for developers and students alike. Google recently launched a powerful tool called Google AI Studio, allowing users to explore the potential of their AI models without requiring extensive expertise in AI. This session aims to ensure that every participant walks away with new skills and insights into the AI field.

Generating an API Key

As we kick off this hands-on session, the first step is to create an API key. To get started, scan the provided QR code or visit the bit.ly link shared. You will follow a series of steps to generate your API key, including completing a consent form and accessing your API dashboard. It's important to capture a screenshot of the API keys table (excluding the actual API key) as proof of completion. This proof will be required for certificate verification after the session concludes.

Features of Google AI Studio

The Google AI Studio offers a developer-centric platform designed to enhance interaction with AI models like Gemini. Here are several significant features included in Google AI Studio, distinguishing it from standard AI models:

System Instructions: Set a persona for the model to tailor responses based on specific audiences or purposes.
Media Uploads: Interact with the AI using images, audio, and video files, significantly expanding the inputs that can be processed.
Access to Different Models: Users can switch between different AI model tiers (Gemini Flash and Gemini Pro) without any associated fees.
Token Management: Understand tokenization in AI responses. Tokens are essential units of data, similar to words in sentences.
Temperature Control: Adjust the creativity of responses by changing the model's temperature settings, allowing for more or less randomness in the output.
Tools and Function Calling: Execute code, retrieve real-time data via custom function calls, and integrate advanced features into applications.

Hands-on Implementation

During the session, participants will learn how to write code that communicates with the Gemini model. Furthermore, users will be able to export the code generated from their chats in various programming languages—Python, JavaScript, Swift, Kotlin, and Go—enabling seamless integration into their projects.

One of the brilliant aspects of the Google AI Studio is its ability to enable personalization and functionality, which allows developers to create complex systems like chatbots or AI-driven applications with little effort.

Q&A and Conclusion

As the session wraps up, participants will have the opportunity to clarify any doubts about the tools and features demonstrated during the event. The goal is to create a supportive learning environment where everyone feels confident leveraging AI technologies.

Thank you for joining the AI Builders Lab. We hope you find the experience enriching and are excited to explore the vast world of AI!
