Learn How to Build Agentic Apps with Flutter, Firebase, and Vertex AI
Article Summary
Kelvin Boateng from Google's Flutter team announces a new learning series that teaches developers to build apps that don't just respond—they proactively assist and automate. Ready to move beyond traditional UIs?
Google is launching 'Building Agentic Apps,' a three-week learning campaign (April 23-May 14, 2025) with starter kits, livestreams, and hands-on resources. The series targets Flutter and Angular developers who want to integrate AI agents powered by LLMs, Firebase, and Vertex AI into their applications.
Key Takeaways
- Four open-source starter kits released for Flutter and Angular with Genkit and Vertex AI
- Agentic apps combine LLMs with goals and tools to create proactive user experiences
- Live expert sessions with Flutter, Angular, Firebase, and Google AI teams
- Partnership with Google's Build With AI series for in-person event support
Google is democratizing AI-powered app development with free starter kits and expert guidance to help developers build apps that can generate personalized content, automate tasks, and assist users proactively.
About This Article
Mobile app developers didn't have clear guidance on building AI agents. They weren't sure where to use LLMs, how to fit them into user journeys, or how to connect them with APIs and functions.
Kelvin Boateng's Flutter team built four open-source starter kits that combine Flutter and Angular with Genkit and Vertex AI in Firebase. Each kit comes with a pre-built project structure that developers can modify for their own needs.
Over three weeks from April 23 to May 14, 2025, developers used these kits to build working AI agent features. They learned AI terminology, design patterns, and which user journeys actually benefit from AI integration.
