Join us for AI Community Meetup #157, a hands-on technical session conducted as part of the Building AI Application Challenge.

In this session, participants will learn how to use Google AI Studio API keys to build a simple agentic AI system that can reason, use structured prompts, call tools, and generate useful outputs. The session is designed to help challenge participants move beyond basic prompting and start thinking like AI application builders.

We will use free Google AI Studio API keys, which are accessible for learners and builders, while also explaining the important limitations such as rate limits, usage constraints, and how to design around them. Participants will also get a practical introduction to deployment considerations so they can later adapt the project into a real AI application.

This session will include a guided code walkthrough so participants can understand how the system works step by step and reuse the code for their own challenge submissions.

What You Will Learn

By attending this session, participants will learn:

1. How to generate and use a Google AI Studio API key
2. How to connect an AI model to a simple Python application
3. How to design a basic agentic AI workflow
4. How to structure prompts, tasks, and responses for an AI agent
5. How to handle free API key limitations and rate limits
6. How to adapt the starter code for your own challenge idea
7. Basic deployment options and what to consider before taking an AI app live

Key Takeaways

After the session, participants will walk away with:

• A working understanding of how to use Google AI Studio API keys
• A simple agentic AI system they can modify for their own use case
• Starter code that can be reused for the Building AI Application Challenge
• Clarity on how agentic systems differ from normal chatbots
• Practical guidance on deployment and next steps
• A stronger foundation for building and submitting their challenge project
