Build Your Own AI Sidekick with Flutter
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll build a tiny AI assistant that lives inside a Flutter app—think of it as a “mini ChatGPT” tailored to a specific theme like travel, cooking, or even Flutter documentation.
We’ll kick things off with the basics, set everyone up with cloud credits, and provide boilerplate code to help you hit the ground running. The entire workshop will use the Google tech stack—including Flutter, Firebase, and Vertex AI—so you’ll gain practical experience with powerful, production-ready tools.
From there, it’s up to you: each participant will create their own personal AI sidekick for a unique purpose.
At the end, we’ll showcase our creations and vote on the most impressive, weirdest, or funniest sidekick. Prizes await the winners!
What You’ll Learn:
How to integrate AI capabilities into a Flutter app
Basics of using Vertex AI and Firebase for custom LLM-powered experiences
Structuring conversational UI and managing AI prompts effectively
Tips for building fun, useful, or just plain weird AI sidekicks
Powering offline-first forestry in Europe's wilds
Working in remote locations often means that internet access is limited or interrupted. This talk will look at the technical challenges and solutions for building a robust and efficient synchronization engine written in Flutter for Android, iOS and Web. The presentation will demonstrate how an intelligent synchronization mechanism, working on both the front-end and back-end, can efficiently manage data transfer. We will discuss strategies to ensure that only changed data is synchronized when the connection is restored to minimize bandwidth consumption and optimize performance. Join us to discover how a well-designed sync engine can provide field teams in even the most remote locations with reliable access to critical information, driving the success of complex projects in challenging environments.
Flutter Shaders on Tablets: Where pencil drawings come to life
We enter the magical world of Flutter Shaders with a tablet and its pen. But is Flutter able to distinguish between a finger touch and a pen touch?
In this session, I'll show you precisely how to distinguish between a finger touch and a pen touch. It is even possible to disable the finger touch completely and combine it with an animated shader. It's effortless to include a shader, but creating a shader is undoubtedly the opposite. Welcome to the world of shaders.
From VueJS to Flutter Web: A Progressive Enhancement Journey for Seamless Migration
The journey of migrating a web application built with VueJS to Flutter web. A gradual shift, minimizing risks and ensuring a smooth user experience throughout the process. We will delve into the step-by-step process to iteratively replacing VueJS pages with their Flutter Web counterparts. We will discuss the role of shared authentication state management in this approach, ensuring a seamless transition for logged-in users.
