The course featured:

  • YouTube videos: Each day a one hour live session hosted by Google that featured a Q&A codelab reviews.
  • Discord server: The Kaggle server gave attendees the opportunity to ask questions, share ideas and get support.
  • Kaggle notebooks: Codelabs were hosted in Kaggle notebooks and the day one notebook is here as an example.

The course is targeted towards developers who already know how to write code. If you’re new to coding, the code will be more challenging because the codelabs require you to read the provided code.

It taught us how to use Vertex AI and Gemini APIs to implement generative AI for a range of use cases. We learned about agents, functions, creating custom models, how to fine tune a model, to name a few. The course is structured to provide coding examples that developers can use to develop there own generative AI solutions.

To take a future offering of the course, check this page for when another session will be offered. The first sesson was offered in November 2024 and the second was held in April 2025.
